4. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Bailey Asay on behalf
of Thou Chan for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF2) to
a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF -1) in the City of Paris, Block 257-A, Lot
N PT 3, Lot 15 & 3A, located at 2340 E Cherry Street and 2331 Pine Bluff- LCAD 18177
and 18190.
Mack states this item is returning to the Commission from last month's agenda from the
tabled action. We have now included the very north portion of the property, which will be
correctly identified in the subsequent item on the agenda, which is the plat. The applicant
plans to construct a new 9-plex on the East Cherry Street frontage. The project is planned
to begin this year if approved. The residence fronting on Pine Bluff is not a part of the
rezoning. The rear portion of this lot is being removed and added to the new plat for the
parcel fronting on Cherry Street. Staff recommends approval of the change in zoning from
a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 to a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 1.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
declared closed.
A motion was made by Clifton Fendley and seconded by Austin Anthony to approve the
zoning change. Motion carried 6-0.
5. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Bailey Asay on behalf
of Distinguished Property & Investments, LLC for a change in zoning from a Commercial
District (C) to a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. 1 (MF 1) in the City of Paris, Block
250, Lot 32, located at 891 Clement Rd- LCAD 53721.
(Mack states items 5 and 6 on this agenda are dealing with the same property. Mack
requests action to be taken on item 6 first then move back to item S. Motion approved 6-0
to rearrange order of agenda.) The applicant is requesting the zoning change to construct
a 9 -unit apartment. The change in zoning will be consistent with the amended future land
use map. This will fit with the mix of uses in this immediate area and proper screening can
be provided to the existing single-family residences.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
declared closed.
A motion was made by Austin Anthony and seconded by Francine Neeley to approve the
zoning change. Motion carried 6-0.
6. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Bailey Asay on behalf
of Distinguished Property & Investments, LLC for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
from a Commercial (C) to High Density Residential (HDR) in the City of Paris, Block 250,
Lot 32, located at 891 Clement Rd- LCAD 53721.
Mack states that the applicant has requested a minor comprehensive plan amendment from
Commercial to High Density Residential for the construction of a new 9-plex at the
Northwest corner of Fitzhugh and Clement Road. The ability to provide for high-density
housing in this portion of the City is a reasonable accommodation to achieve the goal of
affordable housing opportunities in the community. Staff recommends approval of the
comprehensive plan amendment.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
declared closed.
A motion was made by Clifton Fendley and seconded by Tylesha Ross -Mosley to approve
the comprehensive plan amendment. Motion carried 6-0.
7. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Adam Bolton on behalf
of Austin Sugg for a change in zoning from a Commercial District (C) to a Two -Family
Dwelling District (2F) in the City of Paris, Block 170-C, Lot 12, located at 2296 SE 3rd
Street- LCAD 71599.
(Mack states items 7 and 8 are dealing with the same property and therefore requests
action to be taken on item 8 first then move back to item 7. Motion approved 6-0 to
rearrange order of agenda.) Mack states that Austin Sugg is requesting a zoning change
of the subject property in order to construct two duplexes on the lot. Staff is recommending
the zoning change and will initiate the changes for the May cycle of Planning & Zoning
cases.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Tylesha Ross -Mosley asked when would the remaining properties in this area be brought
forth for amending the comprehensive plan. Mack states this will be on the May agenda
after notification to the property owners.
A motion was made by Clifton Fendley and seconded by Austin Anthony to approve the
zoning change. Motion carried 6-0.
8. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Adam Bolton on behalf
of Austin Sugg for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Commercial (C) to Low
Density Residential (LDR) in the City of Paris, Block 170-C, Lot 12, located at 2296 SE
3rd Street- LCAD 71599.
Mack states that Austin Sugg has requested a minor Comprehensive Plan amendment from
Commercial to Low Density Residential for this single vacant lot. Staff has not initiated a
future land use map amendment for additional surrounding properties at this time. It is the
staff's opinion; this should be done to create a larger cohesive future land use area for
guiding development or redevelopment of this side of 3rd Street SE. This would be far
more consistent with the existing low-density residential character of the area, rather than
for incremental conflicts for commercial development interspersed within the residential
neighborhood. Staff is of the position that the Commission and City Council should be
prepared to make these changes to the City's adopted future land use map, along all or a
portion of this two -block area of 3rd SE between South Church and Loop 286. If the
Commission and City Council are amenable to making changes to the future land use map
guiding future residential development, then staff will initiate these changes. Staff
recommends approval of this request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from
Commercial to Low Density Residential, provided the city initiates a larger area change to
the future land use map based upon the current and future uses of this two -block area along
SE 3rd St.
Adam Bolton, 1450 Boardwalk, is the applicant applying on behalf of Austin Sugg. Bolton
states they are proposing a 2F usage for this property and acknowledge the future land use
as it is today, however, there is a utility easement that services the sewer line running down
to Chisum. This easement would make it difficult to achieve commercial usage. They are
prepared to submit for a building permit and start residential construction as soon as
possible.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
declared closed.
A motion was made by Chad Lindsey and seconded by Sims Norment to approve the
comprehensive plan amendment. Motion carried 6-0.
9. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Morad Elwir on behalf
of Sarah Faber and Jerry Jackson for a Specific Use Permit (SUP) for a Fuel Station in the
City of Paris, Block 41-A, Lots 1-3 and 5-8, Commercial District, located in the 300 Block
of N Main St, LCAD 14017, 14016, 14015, 14022, and 14021.
Mack states the applicants have requested approval of an SUP to permit the redevelopment
of the subject property with a gas and convenience station at the Northeast corner of Main
Street North. and Graham Street. The project includes the assembly of several parcels into
a newly platted lot to facilitate this development. The City Council may, in the interest of
the public welfare and to assure compliance with the zoning ordinance, establish conditions
of operation, location, arrangement and construction of any use for which a permit is
authorized. Staff has worked carefully with the project development team regarding the
site layout and design of the improvements to assure conformity with the regulations. City
Staff has also coordinated with TXDOT in providing direct input as to the design and layout
of the proposed driveway approaches to Main Street to achieve the safest possible access
design for the approaches. Direct access will also be provided to the site from Graham and
1 st Street NW consistent with the current site approaches prior to this redevelopment. Staff
recommends approval of the SUP to permit a gas and convenience station, subject to the
following conditions:
1. Approval of the site civil construction improvements by the City Engineer prior
to issuance of a building permit.
2. Approval of new driveway access permits by the City and TX DOT prior to
commencing any new site development construction.
The public hearing was declared open.
The following citizens spoke in opposition of the petition citing concerns of increased
traffic, car wrecks, crime and alcohol sales:
Charles Mackey, 2115 SE 401h Street, member of Graham Street Church of Christ
Stacy Ladell, 1730 Majestic Dr, member of Graham Street Church of Christ
Van Wilson, 2865 Cypress Dr, member of Graham Street Church of Staff
Mack shared the site plan to show where the driveway access will be located on the Main
Street side as well as the NW 1St Street side. Mack advised any alcohol licensing comes
under a separate provision of City and State code and this is not the purview of this body
to determine whether or not alcohol licenses are issued. That is a separate permit and
process.
Chad Lindsey asked staff if there is any concern about traffic flow in which Mack advised
that this is a safe design for traffic flow with concurrence from TXDOT.
The public hearing was declared closed.
A motion was made by Sims Norment and seconded by Austin Anthony to approve the
Specific Use Permit for a Fuel Station with noted conditions. Motion carried 5-1 with
Tylesha Ross-Mosely in opposition.
10. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of the City of Paris to
amend the Master Thoroughfare Plan by removing the planned extension of a collector
street for Pine Mill Road West of Collegiate Drive.
Mack advised that staff has reviewed the proposed collector street segment of the Master
Thoroughfare Plan in relation to a new proposed subdivision development planned along
the east side of the intersection of Highland Road and 25th Street NE. The proposed
collector street negatively impacts a planned development of this site. Furthermore, the
larger area between 25th and Main Street does not afford a good and reasonably straight
connection between the two major roadways without severe jogging at multiple
intersections, or costly acquisition of private property and demolition of several houses.
Mack states the best roadway planning decision is to amend the plan by removing this
planned Collector Street. Staff recommends approval of the Minor Amendment to the
Master Thoroughfare Plan by removing the planned extension of a collector street for Pine
Mill Road West of Collegiate Drive designated as proposed future collector roadway #C-
9.
The public hearing was declared open. With no one speaking, the public hearing was
