4. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Michael McAfee for
a change in zoning from a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) to a Multiple -Family
Dwelling District No. 2 (MF -2) in the City of Paris, Block 220-A, Lot 9A & 6, located at
1905 E Price Street- LCAD 22040.
Andrew Mack states the applicant has withdrawn the application, however, the commission
can still consider the zoning matter itself. Staff is recommending approval with a split
zoning based on the analysis in the staff report. Two concerns about reuse of this site for
housing under the requested rezoning were provided to our office as of the date of the
report.
1. Mr. Tommy Frazier of 1210 35th St. NE expressed opposition to the request
based upon concerns that the street will not handle the increased traffic.
2. Mr. Gary Nash of 105 NE 19th for H -N Partners at 1849 Lamar also indicated
that the street will be inadequate for heavy traffic, unless they enter on Pine
Bluff
The public hearing was declared open.
Scott Hearne states he has property across the street and wants to know how this site would
be converted into multi -family. Andrew advised the intent of the applicant was to create
dormitory type housing in the existing structure. Hearne states that he is opposed to that as
it would create too much traffic and there is not adequate parking.
Retha Frazier states she owns a half acre lot adjoining this property. She states she was told
that Price Street was not adequate for additional traffic when she wanted to build a shop on
her property. She is opposed to multi -family zoning which would increase traffic in this
area.
With no one else speaking the public hearing was declared closed.
Chairman Lindsey states the future land use is low density residential and being that the
applicant has withdrawn, we do not know what would go there. An apartment complex is
allowed with multi -family zoning and he does not agree with that use for this location.
A Motion was made by Sims Norment, seconded by Michael Mosher to accept the
applicants written withdrawal. Motion carried 5-0.
5. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris,
Texas for a map amendment from a Central Area District (CA) to a Commercial District
(C) between Pine Bluff, Graham, NW 3rd and NE 3rd Street.
Andrew Mack states the future land use of this area calls for Commercial development. In
analyzing this area, there is a different character from downtown. The current land uses are
primarily strip commercial development, office and religious institutional up to Cherry
Street. The land area to the West is zoned Two -Family Dwelling District; it's guided for
Low Density Residential; and consists primarily of single-family residences. The land
area to North is zoned Commercial; it's guided for Commercial Retail; and consists of
strip retail, service commercial, office uses and single family residences along lst & 2°d
Streets NE. The land area to the East is zoned Commercial; it's guided for Low Density
Residential; and consists of single family uses along Pine Bluff and 3rd Street NE. The
land area to the South is zoned Central Area District; which is guided for Central Area,
public and retail; and consists of commercial, public parking and the County Courthouse.
There has been positive input received in support of a land sale to upgrade to a
commercial property. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning.
The public hearing was declared open.
Susie Hussy Barnett, representing her mother Julia Hussey that owns property 203 & 235
Pine Bluff. She states they are in support of this zoning change.
Brandon Schaeffer, owns a food truck that is set up at 305 N Main. He is in support of the
zoning change which would allow the food truck operation to continue at this location.
He states this has been a good operation and they want to make it nice
Stacy Ladell, 1730 Majestic Dr, here representing Graham Street Church of Christ. They
want to understand what this zoning change means for the church. Andrew advised that
the church is permitted by right in either zoning so it would have zero impact to the
church.
Melissa Schaeffer, 903 Auto Sales at 305 N Main, she states the car lot has to have a
Specific Use Permit to operate auto sales. She states if the area is rezoned commercial it
would eliminate the need to renew the SUP every few years. She is in support of the
zoning change.
With no one else speaking the public hearing was declared closed.
A Motion was made by Austin Anthony, seconded by Michael Mosher to approve the
petition. Motion carried 5-0.
