14 - Zoning Change Request - 1049 NW 7th Street - LCAD 15514 - from Commercial to One-Family Dwelling District No. 3Item No. 14
TO: City Council
FROM: Andrew Mack, City Planner
SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE, 1049 NW 7TH STREET, LCAD 15514
DATE: April 26, 2021
BACKGROUND: Mary Lawrence is requesting a change in zoning from a Commercial District
(C) to a One -Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3). The subject property is located at 1049 NW
7th Street. The site is 0.1850 acres.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Mary Lawrence is a City of Paris HOME program applicant and she is
eligible to have her home reconstructed. The existing zoning is Commercial and one -family
dwelling (attached/detached) is only allowed with a Special Use Permit. They are wishing to
rezone to a non-commercial district without the need of a SUP. The surrounding uses are currently
residential in nature with a nearby community park. The future land use calls for this lot to be low
density residential, therefore, the change in zoning from Commercial to SF -3 is appropriate. City
staff is in support of this zoning change request.
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to approve of this zoning change at the April 5,
2021 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve zoning change from a Commercial Disctrict (C) to a One -
Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3).
