Memorandum Item No. 22
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 City of Paris for
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to
Medium Density Residential (MDR) in the Springlake Addition, Blocks 1-6, from
East Price Street to Cherry Street, between NE 28th Street and NE 30th Street,
containing approximately 14.1 acres.
MTG. DATE: September 25, 2023
BACKGROUND
report. The 6 block area originally
included with the proposal has been
reduced to 5 '/Z blocks. The 15 acre
neighborhood area was also reduced
to 11.1 acres. Consistent with this
change, the ordinance has also been
revised to specify this area as the
exhibit to the FLUM Ordinance
Amendment.
Additional Background
Several months prior, the P&Z and
City Council approved a Future
Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment
for Mr. James Martinez at the corner
of East Price and 28a' Street NE.
Following direction given by the
P&Z, since that time we have
reviewed the possibility for further
Page 1 of 2
amendments to the FLUM for the larger surrounding area. At its meeting held on August 7Ih,
the P&Z approved a recommendation amending the FLUM to provide for a medium density
residential land use designation for a 6 block area, now reduced to 5 1/2 blocks. This will still
enable individual property owners, should they desire, to approach the City for rezoning of
their properties in the future.
This is strictly a FLUM amendment, actual rezoning of properties in the study area was never
planned with this action. This change would simply allow individual property owners to request
incremental changes in the future where and when duplex or townhome development may be
appropriate. The FLUM changes would also serve to encourage redevelopment for the area on a
case-by-case basis without code issue based upon market conditions.
ANALYSIS
The previous 6 block study area consisted of a total of 15 acres. The land use analysis at that time
consisted of:
- 25 Single -Family Homes, 13.86 acres (revised total 8.96)
- 2 duplexes, .5 acres; (plus 1 for future construction --3; .72 ac)
- 3 vacant lots, .64 acres (1 of the vacant lots are now under construction for a SF home).
The 4.9 acre reduction mostly consists of single family homes fronting on the West side of 30th
Street NE. This resulted in an approximate reduction of the acreage in the FLUM amendment
from 13.86 to a new net total of 8.96 acres.
The area newly revised FLUM area consists of a mixture of quality single-family and two-family
residences, as well as a number of the structures that are in a condemned status, or vacant and in a
dilapidated condition. The remaining vacant lots are also substantial in size and could easily
accommodate duplexes or townhomes, except for the large lot residential uses with bigger yards
which might otherwise accommodate an additional dwelling(s).
In conclusion, the P&Z and Staff maintain that the analysis of the existing conditions of this
neighborhood, the proximity to the surrounding shopping areas, and the previous action to rezone
a single lot for construction of a duplex; supports the minor change to the Land Use Plan for this
larger area as recommended with this study.
RECOMMENDATION
P&Z and the Staff recommends approval of a Minor Comprehensive Plan Amendment amending
the FLUM from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR)
containing approximately 14.1 acres.
