and northeast is SF -2; north is One - Family Dwelling District (SF -2); and south is SF -2 and MF -1. C. Proposed Land Use: The applicant is proposing to establish the subject property for self - storage /mini warehouse uses. D. Proposed Zoning of the Subject Property: The zoning districts which allow a Self - Storage/Mini Warehouse use are Central Area (CA), Light Industrial (LI), Heavy Industrial (HI), and Commercial (C), which requires a Special Use Permit. With an SUP, only self - storage /mini — warehouse uses will be permitted to be developed on this subject property. Section 12 of the Paris Zoning Ordinance governs the requirements for an SUP. An SUP allows the City to require additional elements to protect the integrity of the subject property and area. In particular, Section 12 -101 provides "The City Council may establish conditions of operation, location, arrangement, and construction of any use for which a permit is authorized. In authorizing the location of any of the uses listed as Specific Use Permits, the City Council may impose such development standards and safeguards as the conditions and location indicate important to the welfare and protection of adjacent property." E. The Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) within the Comprehensive Plan: For this subject property Cherry Street between NE 20th Street and NE 25th Street is indicated as a Collector Roadway. F. The Parks Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan: The subject property is located within '/2 mile of the Service Radius of Wade Park, which is classified as a Neighborhood Park. G. The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP): The FLUP indicates High Density Residential (HDR) which recommends apartment uses; this recommendation is fully compatible with the existing MF -2 zoning classification. H. Considerations Regarding Staff Recommendation: This rezoning request is not compatible with the Future Land Use Map, which indicates no Commercial use either on this subject property, or within its immediate environs. With due respect to the petition of nearby citizens in support of this zoning request, and the decision to recommend approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, staff still believes that the primary city planning factor should be the preservation of the residential— oriented integrity and character of the subject property and area. Therefore, staff remains in opposition to this zoning request. RECOMMENDATION: Deny a zoning change from a Multiple— Family Dwelling District -2 (MF -2) to a Commercial District (C) with a Specific Use Permit (No.55): Self— Storage /Mini Warehouse located at 2185 and 2193 East Cherry Street.
