("Board") on 10/6/2026 by a vote of ayes,, nays and. abstaining.
On this date, the Board found that the requests meet the conditions set forth in the City of Paris
Area Regulations Ordinance, Sections 9-3 01 (1) and 9-102(l).
Appeal: Any interested person wishing to appeal this Board decision is required to file a petition

of the date this decision is filed in the Board's office consistent with section 211.11 of the Texas
Local Government Code.
The Board of Adjustment hereby approves the variances request based upon the following
findings.
1. The proposed lot 10 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 size of 6,000 and depth of 100 to lot size 5,749sqft
and a depth of 82 feet, thereby creating a variance of lot size of 260sqft and depth of 18
feet, respectively. Although the requested variances will create smaller lot sizes and depth
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 areas and depth within the vicinity also do not
meet the minimum lot requirements. The proposed lots meet all the other zoning
requirements.
3. Consistently, apart from the Zoning Ordinance 1710 Section 9-102. (1) and Section 9-301
(1) that refers to lot area size and depth, the proposed lot meets the minimum required
width, front, rear and side yards setback per the code. The request, if approved, will be in
harrnony with the general purposes and intent of area regulations for residential buildings
and lot regulations in Two-Farrifly Dwelling -(2F) District contained in and will protect the
character of the immediate vicinity of the area.
