ACTION REQUESTED: 10.28' variance to minimum 60' lot width requirement.
The above -referenced request was approved by the City of Paris Zoning Board of Adjustment
("Board") on 10/6/2026 by a vote of ayes, nays and absta.ining.
On this date, the Board found that the request met the conditions set forth in the City of Paris Area
Regulations Ordinance, Section -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 findings.
1. The proposed lot I in question is under Preliminary and Final plat application process for
City Council approval on Monday, October 26, 2026.
2. The request is to reduce the required lot width of 60 feet to 49.72 feet, thereby creating a
variance of lot width of 10.28 feet, accordingly. Although the requested variance will create
smaller lot width than what is required in 2F zoning district, all other requirements can be
met. The applicant can meet the maximum percentage of lot coverage area which may be
covered by building structure of 35%. Moreover, some other lot width within the vicinity
also do not meet the minimum lot requirements. The proposed lots meet all the other zoning
requirements.
3. Subsequently, apart from the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Section 9-201. (1) that refers to lot
width, the proposed lot meets the minimum required length, front rear and side yards setback
per the code. The request, if approved, will be in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of area regulations for residential buildings and lot regulations in Two -Family
Dwelling -(2F) District contained in and will protect the character of the immediate vicinity
of the area.
4. There are no special or unique condition(s) of restricted area, that exists on the subject
parcel of land that causes unusual and practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship in
