TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council

FROM: Duke McGee, Building Official, Assistant Director Community Development
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing and take action regarding the petition of Faviola C.
Dimas for a zoning change from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to
a One -Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) in the Westview Addition, Block
A, Lots 7R and 8R, LCAD 20605 and 130518, located at 1824-1834 W Houston.
MTG. DATE: February 26, 2024
BACKGROUND
Faviola C. Dimas is requesting a zoning change from SF -2 to SF -3. The applicant desires to
construct single-family residents on these lots. As the zoning for these properties is SF -2, the
proposed lots would not meet minimum width requirements (60ft).Therefore, a zoning change
to SF -3 and/ or a variance addressing the lot width is required before a building site can be
approved.
ANALYSIS
The land to the East is zoned SF -3 and guided for Low Density Residential.
The land to the West, North and South is zoned SF -2 and guided for Low Density Residential.
A zoning change to SF -3 would address the lot width and allow for the lots to be developed.
Any remaining none conformity in width could be addressed administratively. The lots are
currently being replatted and this zoning change is a condition of that process. All
improvements to the lot shall conform to the standards required by the City of Paris.
INPUTS
Staff has not received any input forms in support of or against the zoning change from property
owners within 200 -ft of the subject property.
P & Z RECOMMENDATION
P&Z Voted 4-0 to approve the zoning change from One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2)
to One -Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) District.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the zoning change from One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -
2) to One -Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) District.
