(B) Existing Zoning of the Subject Properties: The subject property is currently zoned General Retail District (GR). (C) Proposed Land Use for the Subject Property The applicant is proposing to develop the subject property for a tattoo shop. (D) Proposed Zoning of the Subject Property: (I) The proposed zoning is to change from the General Retail District to a General Retail District with a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a tattoo shop. (11) Through Resolution No. 2015 -031, approved by the city council on July 13, 2015, a tattoo shop and body piercing shop use is to be permissible in Commercial (C), Light Industrial (LI) and Heavy Industrial (HI) Zoning Districts; and said use in the General Retail (GR), Central Area (CA) and the Planned Development (PD) Zoning Districts allowed with a Specific Use Permit (SUP). (111) Section 12 -101 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding Specific Use Permits indicates that the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council "... on any request for a Specific Use Permit may require from the applicant plans, information, operating data and expert evaluation concerning the location, functions and characteristics of any building or use proposed." Also, "The City Council may... establish conditions of operation, location, arrangement, and consultation of any use for which a permit is authorized." Further, "... 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 from excessive noise, vibration, dust, dirt, smoke, fumes, odor,... or other undesirable or hazardous condition." (E) The Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) within the Comprehensive Plan: The MTP indicates that at this project 42"d Street N.E. is designated as a Collector Roadway. The MTP at this site designates Lamar Avenue as an Arterial Roadway. Lamar Ave. is a TXDOT thoroughfare and TXDOT owns this right —of —way (ROW). Neither TXDOT or the City of Paris requires additional ROW from the Lamar Avenue frontage at this subject property. (F) The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan: The maps in this plan that depict the Existing Parks and Open Space, the Trail and Sidewalk Map, and the Future Parks and Open Spaces are not impacted by this rezoning request. (G) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) within the Comprehensive Plan: The Future Land Use Plan recommendations bisect this subject property: Approximately the southern half is recommended for Retail (R) land use, and approximately the northern half is recommended for Low Density Residential (LDR), which is a single — family use. Since this property is currently all zoned General Retail, it is not inappropriate to consider a SUP for said property.
