SUBJECT: Continued Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of
Donald Wilson on behalf of Sunrise Ministries Intl Church for a Specific Use
Permit (SUP) for a Self-Storage/Mini-Warehouse in the City of Paris, Block 249,

BACKGROUND
On 6/6/22 the P&Z approved this item after continuing the hearing from its previous May meeting.
The applicant requested in connection with the rezoning change from NS to C, an SUP to permit the
remodeling of a closed nursing home into a storage rental facility. The SUP is a requirement for the
commercial storage facility remodeling permit to be approved. The updated attached plan for the project
now shows the needed details for the site plan with the minimum required stripped parking spaces and fire
lane shown. The line drawing depiction of the existing site improvements for the property is what is
planned. The existing front entrance door will remain as is and the only remodeling to the facility will be
the interior spaces. This will include the creation of a small office space for the on-site manager. The
remodel plans were discussed with the Building Official. An existing fire suppression system is within the
facility and it will be repaired and brought up to code. The current building contains just under 40,000 s.f.
of floor area. The parking lot is in substantial deteriorated condition, but the lot will be repaired, seal coated
and stripped with 1 handicapped parking space provided. The two driveway access points existing will
remain and be stripped for fire lane to the site from Clarksville. Water and sewer services exist to the
building and will be updated with the remodel. Full remodel plans will be presented for the building permit
following approval of the SUP.
