Mr. Napier stated we will include that with Article III Mobile Home Parks next month in June. The Planning and Zoning Commissioners were pleased with what the City Staff had provided for Article I Definitions. 8. Discuss and provide direction to staff on changing zoning from Commercial to General Retail on lots that front Lamar Ave. in the 3600 Block to the 4800 Block. Shawn Napier, City Engineer stated city staff has been tasked with bringing proposed zoning changes forward on Lamar Avenue outside the Loop. The primary change would be to change the zoning of the properties that front Lamar Avenue outside Loop 286 from the existing zoning to General Retail (GR). The existing zonings include Commercial (C), General Retail (GR), Agricultural (A), Planned Development (PD -a -b) and one duel -zoned Commercial (C) and Light Industrial (LI). Staff has reviewed the existing uses in this section of Lamar Avenue and only five existing uses would not be allowed in General Retail (GR) zoning. The five uses include a used car lot, two auto repairs, contractor's shop /storage yard and storage warehouse. These five uses would become non - conforming uses if the zoning is changed to General Retail (GR). Three billboards exists in this section that are currently non - conforming uses, if the zoning changed they would still be non - conforming uses. Staff would recommend doing a few of these at a time over several months starting with the vacant lots. The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the matter at hand and want to move forward with the first twenty -three (23) properties on the south side of the loop that the zoning change is required. Mike Folmar asked after we complete this zoning request for Lamar Avenue will we move on to another area in the City of Paris. Shawn Napier stated that is always an option in moving forward with our zoning map. 9.
