14 - Amended Site Plan - Paris Towne Crossing Addition Lot 6 - Ashley FurnitureItem No. 14
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Carla Easton, PE, Engineering & Community Development Director
SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE / SITE PLAN MODIFICATION, PARIS TOWNE
CROSSING ADDITION LOT 6
DATE: June 22, 2020
BACKGROUND: The Paris Towne Crossing Addition located on northeast Loop 286 is zoned
Planned Development (PD -al) for retail development, and was partially developed in the early
2000's with The Home Depot store. The original site plan indicates that future development of
Lot 6 will be an additional box retail store. A portion of Lot 6 is proposed to be built as a standalone
Ashley Furniture Store, which is a deviation from the original site plan based on size. The zoning
ordinance calls for all new development within a PD district to have an approved site plan, if there
is a change from the original PD zoning case.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Roderick Tatchio has submitted a modified site plan on behalf of the owner
showing the proposed Ashley Furniture Store on part of the original Lot 6. The primary change is
the size of the store with respect to the overall retail center, which originally planned for a single
large retail development. The site plan complies with the subdivision and zoning regulations, and
staff sees no reason to oppose this modification to the original site plan. Notifications have been
mailed to properties within 200 feet, and we have received a single letter of support for the site
plan change.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of this site plan revision
for lot 6 under the existing Planned Development zoning district.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve of the revised site plan for lot 6 of the Paris Towne Crossing
Addition in the existing Planned Development District.
