The Paris City Council opened a public hearing Nov. 12 on a rezoning petition from RT Fitness LLC for property at 950 East Austin (LCAD 113342) and continued the hearing to the Dec. 9 council meeting.
Staff described the request as a change from Office (O) zoning to General Retail (GR) to accommodate a fitness facility; the applicant had requested and received a variance from the Board of Adjustment. The proposal includes a two-story addition of about 36,100 square feet to the rear of the building facing Woodland. Planning and Zoning had previously tabled the application to its December meeting.
The council opened the public hearing and continued it to Dec. 9; staff advised no motion was required to continue the hearing. No final rezoning decision or vote occurred at the Nov. 12 meeting.
The continued hearing gives the applicant and the planning commission time to address outstanding matters before council takes final action.
