14 - Zoning Change Request-4605 Lamar AvenueItern No. 14
TO: Mayor & City Council
:loin Godwin, City Manager
FROM: Alan Efi-ussy, AlCP, City Planning Manager
SUBJECT: CHANGE IN ZONING FROM A COMMERCIAL TO A COMMERCIAL
WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (SELF-STORAGE/MINI-WAREHOUSE), AT 4605
LAMAR AVENUE.
DATE. February 13, 2018
BACKGROUND: This request is to conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the
petition of Robert Russell for a change in zoning frorn a Commercial (C) to a Commercial (C)
with a Specific Use Pen -nit (SUP) (Self--Storage/Mini--''Warehouse), on City Block 315-A, Lot 1,
ABST 208 Crow Survey being located at 4605 Lamar Avenue. This properly is comprised of
3.52 acres. At the February 5, 2018 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, no person spoke
either in favor of or in opposition to, this request. The commission unanimously recommended
approval of this rezoning request conditioned upon the submitted Site Plan and conditions.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The city staff has determined the following:
(A) Existing Land Use: The site includes an existing office building. This building fronts on
Lamar; the rear of the property is vacant and that is the location of the proposed self-
storage/rnini-warcho use uses. There is no flood plain on this property and there appears to be no
other man-made and/or natural environmental constraints on this property
(B) The Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) within the Comprehensive Plan: The FLUP recomi-nends,
approximately the front one-third of this subject property as Retail (R), and the remaining
approximately two-thirds of the property is, Low -Density Residential (LDR), which is the
single-family detached homes land use. I-lowever, the current zoning of Commercial (C) on this
entire subject property is a more realistic land use recommendation, given the existing businesses
in the area.
(C), Site Plan Rengirer - - This project requires an SUP along with a site plan, and conditions
as appropriate. The city staff recommends approval, in conjunction with the following
conditions, all of which have been agreed to by the applicant.
1. This property shall be developed as per the Site Plan dated January 13, 2018 and
comprised of three sheets.
2. An existing fence shall be replaced and represent safety and security fencing and shall be
subject to the City of Paris Fence Regulations and shall be subject to the approval of the
city staff Replaced fencing shall only be required along the border of the land area to be
developed.
3. Some existing tree cover exists near the rear of the property, and staff is recommending
saturation landscaping to buffer and totally visually screen the proposed storage
buildings. Existing single-family homes are north of this property and the FLUP
recommends LDR up to and adjacent to the northern property line of this property.
Hence, this proposed tree buffer would be an appropriate separation from both existing
and proposed LD R uses. Said vegetative buffer shall be subject to city staff approval.
4. One accessible parking space shall be provided and identified on the subject Site Plan, as
approved by the city engineer,
5. Illustrate overall entrance and access to, the property, which shall be approved by the city
engineer.
6. Illustrate lighting on the Site Plan, recognizing that no lighting shall illuminate beyond
the subject property line.
RECOMMENDATION, Approve a change in zoning from a Commercial (C) to a Commercial
(C) with a Specific Use Permit for Self-Storage/Mini-Warehouses located at 4605 Lamar
Avenue, conditioned upon development of the Site Plan as submitted, and conditioned upon
adherence to the conditions as stated herein.
