SUBJECT: Public bearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris, Texas
for a zoning map amendment in the Brownwood Addition from a Multiple -Family Dwelling
District No. 1 (MF -1) to a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2)
DATE: August 23, 2021
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
At its meeting held on August 2, 2021 the Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval to the City Council for this rezoning request.
This Ordinance amends the zoning map that was established in 1983 for a 25.03 acre tract of land from
Agricultural and Light Industrial to Multiple -Family District No. 1 (Ord. No. 83-006). The Brownwood
Addition was later developed in late 1999- early 2000's with single-family homes. In 2007 the City
approved a rezoning request by the previous owners of the Davenwick property changing the zoning
from Agriculture (A) to Multiple -Family District No. 2 (MF -2).
The following current year 2021 actions have now occurred on the City Planning Commission initiated
zoning map amendments for this area:
• P&Z discusses in work session on 6/16/21 & initiates city rezone case
• P&Z holds public hearing on 7/6/21 & recommends denial of rezoning case based upon testimony
received by land owners of Davenwick 3.6 acre parcel owners included with rezoning boundary to
SF -2
• Staff initiates 2nd round public hearing notices to rezone Brownwood Subdivision excluding the 3.6
acres
• Staff prepares Council recommendation to withdraw original application based upon P&Z action
• Brownwood neighborhood circulates petition to Council to approve original rezoning map
amendments
• Council holds public hearing on rezoning of both areas and approves recommendation to withdraw
• P&Z holds new hearing on rezoning just Brownwood Subdivision & recommends approval to
Council
ANALYSIS
The Brownwood Subdivision is zoned MF -1 and under the Future Land Use Map this area is guided for
Low Density Residential. The current land uses are all single-family homes. The land area to the North
and West is all guided for Low Density Residential. These large undeveloped surrounding areas are all
zoned SF -2 with the exception of 3.6 acre Davenwick Parcel which is zoned MF -2 and the Paris Elks
Lodge which is zoned Agricultural. The large undeveloped land areas to the East and South is also
guided for Low Density Residential and zoned Agricultural. If this 200+ acre area is planned for future
residential development, an area study and plan should be undertaken by the City.
PUBLIC INPUT
One public comment was received at the Commission's Hearing in favor of the rezoning change.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommended rezoning from MF-
S to SF -2.
