14 & 15 - Zoning Change - Block 305, Lot 6, 2522 & US 82 West & American SpiralWeldItem Nos. 14 & 15
m7m,711 mv M,
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: John Godwin, City Manager
SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE, 2522 US 82 W
DATE: November 6, 2018
BACKGROUND: American Spiral Weld has entered into an economic development agreement
with the Paris Economic Development Corporation and the City of Paris to construct and operate
a large industrial facility. As part of that agreement, ASW will receive land from both the PEDC
and the city. The PEDC land is currently zoned a combination of Heavy Industrial and Light
Industrial. The city land is zoned SF -2 Residential, though that use is entirely incompatible with
neighboring properties and a tower already exists there.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Although LI may be sufficient for the purpose of this facility, in order to
ensure they fully comply with all zoning and other requirements, both now and in the future, ASW
is requesting that all LI and Residential zoning districts be changed to HI to ensure a single,
consistent zoning that will address their needs both now and in the future. We agree with the
wisdom of that plan, although it should be pointed out that with the zoning change, all of the
intense uses allowed under HI will be allowed outright on these properties.
The planning and zoning commission considered these two related matters on November 5, and
recommended their approval by 6-0 and 5-1 votes, respectively. The PEDC director spoke in favor
of both requests; two neighboring homeowners spoke against the zoning change on the PEDC
property.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve zoning changes from Residential to Heavy Industrial for the
city land and from Light Industrial to Heavy Industrial for the PEDC land.
