DATE: December 11, 2023 BACKGROUND The applicant is requesting a zoning change from 2F to MF -1. The proposed use of the property is for a six -unit apartment complex. The subject property is a .32 acre tract that fronts an arterial roadway. The property is being re -guided from split Retail and Low Density Residential to High Density Residential in support of this zoning change. Therefore, this zoning action will be in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan. The developer has completed a pre -development meeting with city staff to address required parking and storm water. ANALYSIS • The land to the West consists of multiple zoning districts (General Retail, Commercial, and Two -Family) that are guided for Retail. • The land to the East is zoned Two -Family and Commercial, is guided for Retail, and consists of single-family homes, churches, and apartments. • The land to the North is zoned SF -2, is guided for Low Density Residential and has been developed with single-family homes. • The land to the South also has mixed zoning districts that are guided for Retail and consist of apartments, churches, single-family homes, and retail establishments. Given the nature of existing land uses in this area to include public facilities like roads, parks, pedestrian and cycling facilities; staff believes this area is well situated for additional multi -family development. It would serve as an equivalent use as the adjacent property. The majority of apartment buildings constructed in the City of Paris are located along Bonham St. and Lamar Ave. City water and sewer are available to the site. All improvements to the lot shall conform to the standards required by the City of Paris. Staff has received two input forms in support of the zoning change from property owners within 200 -ft of the subject property. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning change at its December 4, 2023 meeting. Motion carried, 4 ayes — 0 nays.
