Director of Planning & Community Development Osei Amo-Mensah explained that the
applicant had applied for an economic development and residential tax abatement agreement
under the 5 in 5 Housing Infill Development Program to build up to a total of ten separate single-
family dwellings. He said staff determined that the properties were within the program area and
that the proposed improvements met the criteria for the program.
Mayor Pro -Tem Savage asked if construction had already started. Mr. Amo-Mensah said
he did not think construction had started. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said if it had, the
applicant was not eligible for a tax abatement.
A Motion to approve this item was made by Mayor Pro -Tem Savage and seconded by
Council Member Ellis. Motion carried, 6 ayes —0 nays.
14. Discuss and act on approval to participate in the New National Opioids Settlement
regarding Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family; and authorize the City Manager to
execute and submit the Participation and Release Form.
City Attorney Stephanie Harris said items 14 and 15 were duplicates so no action was
needed on item 15.
Ms. Harris said the opioid crisis in the United States had generated massive amounts of
litigation, and the City previously elected to participate in litigation brought by the Texas Office
of the Attorney General. She explained this was a new settlement of national litigation. She
also said it City receives a part of the settlement, it was not known whether or not there would
be any restrictions placed on the use of the proceeds. Ms. Harris reported if there were too many
restrictions or requirements, the City could decline them at that time, but in order to even get the
chance the City needed to meet the deadline of September -) to submit the documentations.
A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Ellis and seconded by
Council Member Norment. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays.
15. Discuss and act on the following subdivision participation and release forms for the
following opioid settlements; and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary
documents: Purdue
16. Discuss and act on two appointments to fill the vacancies on the Building and Standards

Fitzgerald resigning and Millicent Kee choosing not to serve on this board. Ms. Ellis said staff
re -advertised and received two applications, one from Jesse Wallace, Jr. and one from Morgan
Cline.
A Motion to appoint the two applicants to the Building and Standards Commission was
made by Mayor Pro -Tem Savage and seconded by Council Member Putnam. Motion carried, 6

provide direction on the FY 2025-2026 Budget for the City of Paris.

their July 29 presentation. Ms. Beverly reviewed the police department software, the public
works waterline 271 extension, the sewer fund, strategic plan financial forecasting, the Toole
Revitalization Plan Update, removal of the bike lane match, the general fund, health insurance
increase for each employee, revenue and expenses in the general fund, revenue and expenses in
the water fund, revenue and expenses in the airport fund, which included a transfer of $93,700.00
from the general fund for the airport. Ms. Beverly said the proposed tax rate was .47239, taking
the de-minimis property tax rate. (for a detailed summary, please see Exhibit "A" attached)
Mayor Pankaj said the fire department needed a lot of attention, which included pay and
equipment. He expressed appreciation to Rose Beverly and Fire Chief Thomas McMonigle for
working on this. Council Member Putnam inquired if the health insurance was bid out last year.
Ms. Beverly said she was not here, but it was her understanding that it was bid and TML came
out far ahead. Mayor Pankaj inquired if Council wished to have a special budget workshop.
Mayor Pro -Tem Savaged favored the idea, if they needed it. It was a consensus to post budget
workshops for August 18 and 20 but to cancel them if they were not needed.
18. Consider and approve future events for City Council and/or City Staff pursuant to

The proposed FY25/26 tax rate for the City of Paris complies with Senate Bill 2 (S132), also known as the Texas
Property Tax Reform and Transparency Act of 2019, which limits how much cities can raise property taxes. While
the law helps control tax increases, it also restricts a city's ability to grow revenues to support essential services.
Therefore, it's recommended that the City responsibly use the allowed growth under S132 when necessary, to avoid
falling behind on critical services, a gap that may be hard to recover from later. Additionally, the FY25/26 budget
uses 97% of the estimated property tax revenue to balance the budget a realistic figure based on the City's historical
collection rate, rather than the full 100%, which would likely result in a shortfall. This conservative approach has
been used for several years.
The City of Paris operates primarily from three key funds: the General Fund (01), Airport Fund (03), and Water &
Sewer Fund (10). These are distinct from Special Purpose Funds, which will be discussed later. As of FY24/25, the
Sanitation & Landfill Fund (45) is no longer an operating fund due to the outsourcing of solid waste services.
Remaining related expenses have been moved to Department 44 of the General Fund. These operational funds are
mainly supported by taxes, fines, fees, and utility rates, making it essential to keep them balanced. Each year, staff
reviews historical data to refine the budget, improve efficiency, and maintain services while minimizing the property
tax rate.
The following table outlines the balanced budgets for each operating fund:

$351,022.00
The Proposed FY25/26 Budget presents a balanced plan for all three operational funds. To achieve this, a portion of
the General Fund surplus available due to a healthy reserve has been allocated for essential one-time capital purchases.
The budget includes the use of reserve funds to cover all General Fund capital purchases and an increase of $50.00
per month City contribution for health insurance costs. It is important to emphasize that using surplus funds to support
operational (recurring) expenses must be approached with great caution. The City of Paris is a continuing entity with
ongoing, routine costs such as payroll, insurance, chemicals, and fuel that occur year after year. These types of
expenses must be supported by stable, recurring revenue sources that are consistently available on an annual basis.
Using finite surplus funds for recurring expenses is fiscally unsound. Because surplus funds are temporary and
nonrenewable, relying on them for ongoing services creates a funding gap when those funds run out, jeopardizing the
City's ability to maintain essential services.
The Airport Fund (Fund 03) has no reserve, so the General Fund will transfer $93,700.00 to subsidize it in FY25/26.
The Water and Sewer Fund (Fund 10) also lacks excess reserves for capital purchases; all expenses are supported by
2
recurring revenue raised in FY25/26. However, due to changes in debt payments, the FY25/26 budget reflects potential
improvement in this fund's reserve.
Financial Police and Budget Messae,Summary
Financial Policy and Mission:
The mission of the City of Paris is to serve with professionalism and integrity, promote a safe and prosperous
community for all citizens, and provide efficient and effective services for an excellent quality of life.
In alignment with this mission, the Proposed FY25/26 Budget was developed with careful consideration of priorities
that support these goals. While many initiatives are important, the budget highlights a select group of high -impact
priorities that significantly influenced overall financial and strategic operational planning.
1. STAFFING
Staffing: General Fund
City Manager: The Deputy and Assistant City Manager positions were eliminated and will be replaced with
a Government and HR Analyst, and a Business Development Specialist.
EMS: One of the existing positions in EMS will have a title change to: Deputy Chief of Training and
Logistics.
Library: The part-time library position will be eliminated in the FY25-26 budget.
Engineering: An Administrative Assistant position will be added.
Main Street: An Event and Historical Preservation Coordinator position will be added and will be funded
with HOT tax revenue.
FTE Net Change: FY 24/25, 250
FY 25/26, 252
Staffing: Water and Waste Water Fund
Water Production: One additional Operator position will be added in FY 25/26.
Waste Water: One additional Operator position will be added in FY25/26.
An additional "Master Electrician" will be added when phase 2 of the Waste Water Plant project is completed.
This is estimated to happen around March of 2026. The salary for this position will be split between
Department 82 and Department 86.
FTE Net Change: FY 24/25, 78
FY 25/26, 81
Staffing: Airport
One full-time Airport Service Technician will be added.
FTE Net Change: FY 24/25, 2
FY 25/26, 3
2. CAPITAL: General Fund
General Fund capital includes large, one-time purchases essential to maintaining core City operations.
Notably, this year's capital plan does not include any major infrastructure improvements. The City of Paris
is in urgent need of a comprehensive capital improvement plan to address deteriorating streets, sidewalks,
underground utilities, and stormwater infrastructure along with a realistic funding strategy. Due to ongoing
IRC
'QzL-Qf these
systems now requires immediate attention. It is also important to note that no capital funding was allocated
to Information Technology in the past two fiscal years. While IT may not require annual capital investments,
it is common for significant needs to arise periodically, and those needs must be planned for and addressed
to support City-wide operations.

****2025 Tax Note Summary: To ease pressure on the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) portion of the
property tax rate for the FY 25/26 budget, and to address critical capital needs particularly within the Fire
Department, the City secured a tax note totaling $4,191,316.00 in July 2025. This strategic investment
supports high-priority public safety and infrastructure needs. The funding has been allocated as follows:
5
• $3,794,316.00 — Fire apparatus
• $215,000.00 — Police Department equipment and vehicles
• $122,000.00 — Tractor with side shredder for Community Development
3. Strategic Planning
The Paris City Council adopted a new Strategic Plan on January 9, 2023, which was updated in September
2023 for the FY23/24 Budget. Built around a Vision, Mission Statement, and long-term Goals, the plan is
intended to guide the City's budget decisions.
In May 2025, City leadership and staff began work on an updated and more comprehensive Strategic Plan.
This effort includes input from community members, stakeholders, staff, and the City Council. The plan is
currently in development and is on track for completion by the end of September. Once finalized, it will
help guide key priorities and activities in the FY25/26 Budget.
The updated Strategic Plan will remain centered on the City's mission:
"The mission of the City of Paris is to serve with professionalism and integrity, promote a safe and
prosperous community for all citizens, and provide efficient and effective services for an excellent
quality of life."
4. Projects: Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is the largest capital project the City of Paris has undertaken in
recent years and the costliest in the City's history. The project is being completed in two phases:
• Phase One is proposed to be completed in September 2025
• Phase Two is on track for completion by March of 2026
The City has issued $113,370,000 in debt to pay for the WWTP project. This major investment has had a
significant financial impact on the City. It is a key driver behind Paris having the second-highest sewer
rates in the state, and the project has contributed substantially to the City's bond indebtedness.
5. Employee Pay and Benefits
The greatest asset of the City of Paris is its employees. Local governments exist to provide essential
services, and these services have a direct impact on the community's quality of life. Taxpayers expect a
high level of performance, and meeting these expectations depends on having a skilled and dedicated
workforce. The quality, commitment, and effectiveness of our employees are therefore essential to
fulfilling the City's Financial Policy and delivering the high standard of service our residents deserve.
Background: In recent years, the City Council has made significant investments in employee pay and
benefits to strengthen retention, morale, and long-term financial sustainability. In FY21/22, a major
overhaul of the City's pay structure began with the adoption of a 71/o/14% TMRS contribution rate and
implementation of a pay plan aligning non -civil service and civil service positions with peer communities.
This included restructuring seniority scales in the Fire and Police Departments and implementing annual
2% COLAs to help offset inflation. The City also transitioned Fire personnel from the underfunded Paris
Firefighters' Pension to TMRS in FY22/23, issuing a pension bond that resulted in substantial long-term
savings. Additionally, the City increased its monthly health insurance contribution and, in FY23/24, shifted
from biennial to annual step increases, ensuring employees receive more consistent raises throughout their
careers. These actions reflect the City Council's continued commitment to supporting its workforce. The
FY 25/26 budget includes:
1) A 2% Cost of Living Adjustment for all full-time positions.
2) An increase in the City's monthly contribution to Health Insurance costs. In FY24/25, the city
contributed $650.00, and in FY 25/26 the city will contribute $700.00.
3) We are in the process of conducting a new pay study that will be completed by November of
2025.

6. Rising Costs — As has been the case over the past several years, rising costs for goods and services continue
to impact many areas of the budget. Numerous line items have increased simply due to inflation reflecting
higher prices for the same quantity of goods or services. While staff work diligently to find cost-saving
opportunities and secure competitive pricing, even maintaining current service levels increasingly requires
additional revenue to support ongoing operations.
7. Revenue: The City's two primary revenue sources, property tax and sales tax continue to shape the overall
budget. The proposed FY25/26 budget assumes adoption of the de minimis property tax rate, generating
approximately $485,000.00 in additional revenue (based on a 97% collection rate). However, due to a recent
softening in sales tax collections, projections for sales tax revenue have been adjusted downward compared
to last year. Interest earnings are also lower this year, and we are conservatively projecting similar
performance in the coming year. On a positive note, EMS revenues have remained strong and are projected
to increase again in FY25/26. Overall, total revenues including restricted HOT tax revenue are expected to
increase by approximately $1.4 million compared to the prior fiscal year.
Conclusion
The Proposed FY25/26 Budget is a clear reflection of the City's Financial Policy. Thanks to the diligent efforts of
City staff, the budget has been carefully reviewed to ensure that core services are fully funded, excess funds have
been identified and reallocated to support key service enhancements, and the priorities outlined in the Budget
Message have been addressed all while remaining mindful of the impact on taxpayers. We are proud to present this
Proposed FY25/26 Budget to the City Council, along with a strong recommendation to begin developing a long-
range financial plan. This plan should include the opportunity for a comprehensive overhaul of the existing pay
study, staff benchmarking, and strategic planning for capital improvements in streets, sidewalks, gutters,
underground infrastructure, and stormwater management.

5. Appoint a Chairman, Vice -Chairman and Secretary to the TIRZ Board of Directors.
City Attorney Stephanie Harris clarified that the Chairman of the Board must be officially appointed by
City Council; however, the Board may nominate an individual for the position, and that nomination will be
presented to Council for consideration.
Board Member Miles Mathieu nominated Cody Head to serve as Chairman. The nomination was seconded
by Maureen Hammond. The Board voted unanimously in favor of the nomination, pending approval by City
Council.
Ms. Hammond inquired whether the other officer positions were necessary. In response, City Attorney
Stephanie Harris explained that while a Secretary is not essential, it is advisable to appoint a Vice -Chair, as
that individual would assume the duties of the Chairman in their absence.
Chairman Head nominated Miles Mathieu to serve as Vice -Chairman. The nomination was seconded by
Maureen Hammond. The Board voted unanimously in favor of the nomination, appointing Miles Mathieu as
Vice -Chairman of the Board.
6. Approve Residential Tax Abatement Agreement with Invest Lamar, LLC under the 5 in 5 Housing Infill
Development, Program.
Page I of 3
Ms. Harris stated that on June 9th, 2025, City Council approved an agreement with Invest Lamar, LLC
which includes a residential tax abatement on 10 parcels within the 5 in 5 program area. One of those parcels,
LCAD #19930, located at 115 W. Neagle St., is within TIRZ Sub -Zone 5. As of 1/1/2025, the assessed taxable
value of the parcel was $2,250.00, and Invest Lamar, LLC plans to construct a single-family home with an
estimated investment of $220,000.00 thereon. Tax abatements granted on residences constructed under the 5
in 5 program are for 5 years at 100% per year. The Texas Tax Code requires that the TIRZ board approve any
tax abatement agreements on property in the Zone. Very little of the 5 in 5 program area overlaps with any of
the TIRZ Sub -Zones, but this particular agreement has the one parcel that is in both.
A Motion to approve the Residential Tax Abatement Agreement with Invest Lamar, LLC under the 5 in 5
Housing Infill Development Program was made by Ms. Norwood and seconded by Mr. Cecil. Motion carried
6 ayes — 0 nays.
7. Overview of Current TIRZ Account Balance and projected revenue.
Ms. Harris reported that the current TIRZ fund balance is $252,097.66. She noted that the bank
statement may reflect a balance of $272,097.66; however, she discovered that a $20,000.00 payment to
Forked Pine Consulting had been mistakenly charged to the General Operating Fund instead of the TIRZ
Fund. After making the appropriate correction, the accurate TIRZ balance is $252,097.66.
Ms. Harris further explained that she, Mr. Mathieu, and Mr. Hayter have been working with the Financial
Projection Tool and have identified an error in the spreadsheet. She advised that all financial discussions
and projections be paused until the data can be fully verified.
Mr. Mathieu recommended tabling Agenda Item 8 (Finance Plan) until he can speak with Mr. Denney
regarding the tool.
8. Discussion and approval of revised Finance Plan including discussion of timeline for annual review of
same and review of Forked Pine Consulting's Summary and Recommendation Report.
A Motion to table this item was made by Mr. Mathieu and seconded by Ms. Hammond. Motion carried 6
ayes — 0 nays.
9. Approve allocating $100,000.00 of TIRZ funds to support the 1st Street Renovation Project.
Following some discussion, a Motion to approve allocating $100,000.00 of TIRZ funds to support the 1 st
Street Renovation Project was made by Ms. Hammond and seconded by Mr. Mathieu. Motion carried 6 ayes
— 0 nays.
Mr. Hayter arrived at 4:22 P.M.
10. Discuss next steps for updating the TIRZ Project Plan.
Ms. Harris stated that City Manager Rose Beverly had been in contact with Mr. Chris Lambka of Chris
Lambka & Associates and invited anyone interested to attend a workshop he will be conducting in August
in Denison. She noted that Mr. Lambka has a history of assisting cities by breaking plans into smaller,
manageable steps, making them more achievable.
Mr. Hayter suggested the board consider pausing until it is decided which zones the funds should be
allocated to. Chairman Head stated that since the available funds are less than originally expected, it would
make more sense to focus on projects that would benefit all zones, even if they are in Zone 2, rather than
splitting the money into smaller portions.
Page 2 of 3
Ms. Norwood stated she has been on the board for 12 months and felt that the board had not thoroughly
discussed "the plan," suggesting a workshop dedicated solely to that topic. Mr. Mathieu noted that progress
has been made, even if it may not feel like it. Ms. Hammond questioned how the board could determine
what is best for the community without first knowing its needs.
Chairman Head asked whether the board is responsible for creating the plan or simply providing funding for
already established projects. Ms. Harris explained that the TIRZ board approves a plan which City Council
then adopts by ordinance. Ideally, the plan is developed through collaboration between staff and the board—
with or without a consultant—to determine what should be included before it goes to Council. Chairman
Head then asked whether the board should wait to speak with Mr. Lambka or proceed and later refine it with
consultant input. Ms. Hammond agreed that the process was confusing.
Ms. Norwood stated it would be helpful if the board were more aware of the City's plans to better
coordinate efforts. Ms. Harris affirmed that staff wants to collaborate with the board, not work against it,
and explained that Ms. Beverly's intent in speaking with the consultant was to gather information and
determine whether the consultant would be a good fit for Paris.
Mr. Hayter stated that the Toole Plan is the plan. Mr. Archer added that certain parts of the plan could
attract private investment if the City demonstrates a commitment to protecting that investment, and those are
the projects worth pursuing. Ms. Harris stated that the plan is a work in progress and should be evaluated
every 2-5 years.
Chairman Head stated that the board should hold a workshop to identify catalyst projects already listed in
the plan and determine which are feasible. Ms. Harris stated that a Notice of Possible Quorum would be
posted if the board wished to attend the Denison workshop to ensure compliance with the Open Meetings
Act. She asked whether the board preferred to hold its workshop during the next scheduled TIRZ meeting or
on a separate date. Chairman Head responded that the next meeting would be best.
Mr. Hayter asked who would prepare the agenda for the workshop, and Ms. Harris stated that staff would
prepare it based on topic suggestions or specific questions from the board.
Chairman Head left the meeting at 5:05 P.M.
Following further discussion, Vice -Chairman Mathieu moved on to the next item.
11. Discuss potential dates and goals of a Community Workshop.
This item was discussed in conjunction with item 10.
12. Request future agenda items.
Other than the workshop item, there were no future agenda items requested.
13. Adjournment.
There being no further business, a Motion to adjourn was made by Ms. Hammond and seconded by Ms.
Norwood. Motion carried, 6 ayes – 0 nays. Vice -Chairman Mathieu�lljourned the meeting at 5:16 P.M.

.Hemorandum Agenda Item No. 16
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro-Tem and City Council
City Manager, Rose Beverly
FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah, Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Paul
Stoll of Plan Z Developments LLC for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from
Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) on part of LCAD 18277 (5.97 acres).
Legal Description: City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, N Collegiate Dr & Pine
Mill Rd.
MTG. DATE: August 25, 2025
BACKGROUND:
On Monday, August 4, 2025, the City of Paris Planning & Zoning Commission held its regular
meeting and there was an extensive deliberation on the zoning change application, where the
Commission voted to recommend approval of the item above.
The applicant and owner Paul Stoll of Plan Z development is seeking an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan being Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) for Future Land Use Map
of the property. The lot is currently zoned a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2), in the
City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, being a portion of LCAD 18277, (5.97 acres) located at N.
Collegiate Drive and Pine Mill Road. The property is currently a vacant lot. Furthermore, on this
Agenda, are zoning change requests that apply to the same and adjoining properties by Paul Stoll
of Plan Z development.
Access and connection to utilities are available at this location. Commercial development in this
location will provide conformity and will serve the immediate and long-term needs of the vicinity.
However, an appropriate buffer must be provided to the southern portion of adjacent residential
zoning district to minimize incompatible uses between Residential and commercial use noise or
nuisance.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
There is an application for a zoning change at this site location from a One -Family Dwelling
District No. 2 (SF -2) to Commercial (C), hence the reason for the request of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) for the Future Land Use
Map. Whereas the Future Land Use Map for the area and property is guided by retail, the zoning
application request will result in a Commercial Zoning District (C) aligning and compatible with
the current zoning in surrounding areas as commercial. Nevertheless, it is hopeful that more of the
future land uses in this area will follow the Retail District (R). Invariably, an application for a
Comprehensive Plan amendment for future land use from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail
(R) is appropriate.
ANALYSIS
• The land to the North is currently zoned Planned Development (PD) with a request for a zoning
change to Commercial (C) (and is guided by Retail -(R) District).
• The land to the South is zoned Single Family Dwelling District (SF -2), which is guided by Low
Density Residential (LDR) and developed as Single -Family Residential Subdivision.
• The land to the East is vacant and zoned Commercial District (C) which is guided by Retail
District -(R).
• The land to the West is zoned Single Family Dwelling District (SF -2) which is guided by Low
Density Residential (LDR) and is currently developed as single-family dwellings.
BUDGET:
Ther mm
e are no significant budgetary implications due to this proposal.
The Planning Department has received thirty-one (31) input forms that are opposed to the
application from the surrounding property owners.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment at its August 4, 2025, meeting. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 1 nay.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation.
2. Deny the application.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R).

Memorandum Agenda Item No. 17
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem and City Council
City Manager, Rose Beverly
FROM: Osei Amo-Mensah, Director Planning and Community Development
SUBJECT: Conduct a public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Paul
Stoll of Plan Z Developments LLC for a Zoning Change from a One -Family
Dwelling No. 2 (SF2) to Commercial (C) on part of LCAD 18277 (5.97 acres).
Legal Description: City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, N Collegiate Dr & Pine
Mill Rd.
MTG. DATE: August 25, 2025
BACKGROUND:
On Monday, August 4, 2025, the City of Paris Planning & Zoning Commission held its regular
meeting and there was an extensive deliberation on the zoning change petition, where the
Commission voted to recommend approval of the item above.
The applicant and owner Paul Stoll of Plan Z Developments is seeking a Zoning Change from a
One -Family Dwelling No. 2 (SF2) to Commercial (C). The lot is currently vacant and zoned a
One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2), in the City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, being a
portion of LCAD 18277, (5.97 acres) located at N. Collegiate Drive and Pine Mill Road.
Furthermore, on this Agenda (Items 4) there is an application to also amend the Future Land Use
Map from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Retail (R) of the said property.
Access and connection to utilities are available at this location. Commercial development in this
location will provide conformity and will serve the immediate and long-term needs of the vicinity.
However, an appropriate buffer must be provided to the south and west portions of adjacent
residential zoning districts to minimize incompatible uses between residential and commercial
uses, probably due to noise or nuisance.
STATUS OF ISSUE:
Whereas a specific land use type is not determined yet, applicant's interest is to rezone the property
to commercial use. The request for zoning change at this site location from Single Family Dwelling
(SF -2) to Commercial (C) will be compatible with the current zoning in surrounding areas.
Invariably, the Future Land Use Map indicates that the property and surrounding areas are guided
by Retal (R), however the current zoning and surrounding areas are largely zoned commercial. It
is therefore appropriate to rezone the property to commercial now. Nevertheless, it is hopeful that
more of the future land uses in this area will follow the Retail District (R) per the Future Land Use
Map. This condition allows for the zoning change and compatible with the existing surroundings.
All improvements and construction shall conform to the standards required by the City of Paris.
ANALYSIS
• The land to the North is currently zoned Planned Development (PD) with a request for a zoning
change to Commercial (C) (and is guided by Retail -(R) District).
• The land to the South is zoned Single Family Dwelling District (SF -2), which is guided by Low
Density Residential (LDR) and developed as Single -Family Residential Subdivision.
• The land to the East is vacant and zoned Commercial District (C) which is guided by Retail
District -(R).
• The land to the West is zoned Single Family Dwelling District (SF -2) which is guided by Low
Density Residential (LDR) and currently developed as single-family dwellings.
The Planning Department has received thirty-one (3 1) input forms that are opposed to the zoning
change application from the surrounding property owners.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval of the zoning change at its August
4, 2025, meeting. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation.
2. Deny the application.

Recommend approval of the zoning change from a One -Family Dwelling No. 2 (SF2) to
Commercial (C).

current zone for this property, that is Planned Development (PD), will not be appropriate for the
intended uses, hence the request for a zoning change from Planned Development (PD) to
Commercial (C). The request for zoning change at this site from Planned Development (PD) to
Commercial (C) will be compatible with the current zoning in surrounding areas which is
g
,�:ommercial, Invariablv. the Future Land Use Maw, indicates that the property and surroundin
?reas are guided by Retail (R), however the current zoning and surrounding areas are zoned
commercial. It is therefore appropriate to rezone the property to commercial now. Nevertheless,
it is hopeful that more of the future land uses in this area will follow the Retail District (R) per ths
Future Land Use Map. This condition allows for the zoning change to be compatible with tht.�o
existing and surrounding areas. All improvements and construction shall conform to the standar&
required by the City of Paris.
