18 - Withdrawal of request from SF-3 to 2F - Block 281 Lot 6 - 1610 N.E. 15th StreetItem No. 18
Memorandum
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Mitch Milam,
Texas Land Direct, LLC for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling
District No. 3 (SF -3) to a Two -Family Dwelling District (2F) in the City of
Paris, Block 281, Lot 6, LCAD 18409, located at 1610 NE 15th Street.
MTG. DATE: December 12, 2022
BACKGROUND
The applicant requested a rezoning change from SF -3 to 217, which would permit the future construction
of new duplexes. In initial discussion with the applicant, there was interest expressed for entering the
5 In 5 Infill Housing Program and to potentially include the land to the South which is eligible for tax
foreclosure. After further discussion with the applicant, Mr. Milam concluded that his rezoning request
to 2F was incorrect to meet the future marketing plans for the sale and development of the property.
He has no plans at this time to develop the property. As a result, he has submitted the attached request
for tabling action on this application in order to re -submit the request for MF -1. This will need to be re -
advertised with new notices mailed out to the neighborhood.
The P&Z opened the Public Hearing and received comments from Shirley Thomas the landowner of
an undeveloped lot to the West. She did not express objection to the change, but was in attendance to
hear the discussion on the request. The P&Z then approved a motion to continue the hearing to their
January 3, 2023 meeting. The Council will not need to do this since the application rezoning to 2F has
become a moot point given the applicant has now requested to revise the request to MF -1 thereby
withdrawing the request for 2F. City Council will conduct the public hearing on this new application
at its January 23, 2023 meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council pass over this item.

Subject: Table of zoning change plan
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the call today. Please table the zoning change I submitted for LCAD 18409 -1610 NE 15th Street.
As discussed, we need to amend the application to change the zoning from 2F to MF -1.
As I understand it, there will be an additional notification cost associated with this change, which is acceptable.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed from here. If you would like, I can come out and have an in-person
meeting and we can discuss the various options.
Thanks,
Mitch Milam
