TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council
Interim City Manager, Rob Vine
FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah, Director of Planning & Community Development
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of
Steven Smith for a zoning change from an Agricultural District (A) to a
Multiple -Family Dwelling District No.2 (MF2) in the A208 E Crow Survey, Part
of Tract 28, LCAD 51027, located in the 4300 Block of Pine Mill Rd.
DATE: July 22, 2024
BACKGROUND: Steven Smith is requesting a zoning change from A to MF -4. The subject
property is a 6.38 -acre tract on the south side of Pine Mill RD between 42nd & 46`h streets. The
property is being re -guided from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential in support
of this zoning change (Agenda Item 4). Therefore, this zoning action will be in accordance with the
city's comprehensive plan.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
• The land to the West (to 42"d St) is zoned MF -2, is guided for Medium Density Residential
and is currently developed with duplexes and quads.
• The land to the East (to 461" St) is zoned Agriculture, is guided for Medium Density
Residential and is partially developed with some single-family homes.
• The land to the North and across the street is zoned SF -2, is guided for Low Density
Residential and is currently developed with single-family homes.
• The land directly to the South is zoned Agriculture, is guided for Low Density Residential
and is partially developed with some single-family homes.
Given the location of this area with current existing neighborhood development; staff believe this
area is well situated for the continuation of muti-family development. This would allow for
neighborhood conformity of this block. All improvements to the lot shall conform to the standards
required by the City of Paris.
Staff have not received any input forms in support of or against 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 July 15,
2024, meeting. Motion carried, 5 ayes — 0 nays

BUDGET: There are no significant budgetary implications due to this zoning Change.

(MF -4) District.
