lIEMUF:ANDUM
TO: Chaiinian and Mernbers of the Planning and Zoning Commission
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Planning and Development Department
SUBJECT: Zoning Change Requests
DATE: April 27, 2010
The following zoning change request will be presented at the May 3, 2010, meeting of the
Planning and Zoning Cominission and the May 24, 2010, meeting of the City Council of the City
of Paris for consideration:
Chris Snodgrass is requesting that the property located on Lot 5, City Block 285, being
3140 Lamar Avenue, be rezoned from a Planned Development District (PD-a) Retail
shopping center to an Office District (O). The Comprehensive Plan recommends that this
property be zoned General Retail; therefore, the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map must be amended in order to approve this request. A separate hearing on revising the
Plan will precede this item on the agenda.
Additional]y, parking requirements must be taken into consideration at the time of
re-zoning. The Parking Ordinance requires on-site parking in an amount dependent upon
the total square footage of the structure devoted to the business enterprise (1 parking space
for every 300 square feet). Additionally, because this property is adjacent to a
residentially zoned area, if parking is to be located behind the building the parking must be
screened.
