DECISION OF THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS
RE: 373 NW 511' St- Variance Request
Christopher Martinez
1025 Kings Row
McKinney, TX 75069
ACTION REQUESTED: 67" Variance to lot width
The above -referenced request was approved by the City of Paris Zoning Board of Adjustment
("Board") on 6/4/2024 by a vote of Li r...... ayes, _0__, nays and Q ...... mm_ abstaining.
On this date, the Board found that the request met the conditions set forth in the City of Paris Area
Regulations Ordinance, Section 9-201(1).
Appeal: Any interested person wishing to appeal this Board decision is required to file a petition
for Writ of Certiorari in a district court, county court or county court at law within ten (10) days
of the date this decision is filed in the Board's office consistent with section 211.011 of the Texas
Local Government Code.
The Board of Adjustment hereby approves the variance request based upon the following
conditions and findings of fact.
Conditions
1. All structure setbacks shall be met.
Findiw
1. The request for variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of site
improvement regulations contained in the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Exhibit 9B and the
Subdivision Ordinance 1315 Exhibit 9A; and will protect the character of the immediate
vicinity of the area.
2. The approval of the variance for lot width will allow the plat approval condition to be met for
this property allowing the new residence to be constructed.
3. There are special and unique condition(s) of restricted area, shape, topography, or physical
features that exist on the subject parcel of land, which are not applicable to other parcels of
land in the 2F Zoning District, and which cause unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary
hardship to the use of the property with site improvements permitted by the ordinance with the
provision sought here to be varied. The residential lot was previously created, consistent with
the adjoining residential lots, but was not officially platted.
--O"TIE X A S
4. The hardship sought to be avoided is not the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self-
imposed or self-created), and (b) the applicant has not stated that there is an economic or
financial hardship for the residential lot to be split off from the commercial property in
compliance with ordinance requirements. This alone, is not justification for approval of the
variance, but rather it is based upon existing site improvements which seek no change or
modification in the request for new construction.
5. The provision of the ordinance regulation that are sought to be varied, deprive the applicant of
reasonable rights to use the property that are commonly enjoyed by other older residential
properties in the 2F Residential Zoning District which are required to comply with these same
ordinance provisions. Additionally, the lot width is within 80.88% of the minimum lot width
requirements and would already be buildable as a platted lot without a variance.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 6/4/2024.
