Summary
The Paris City Council approved a broad consent agenda, a zoning change for Ramsar Baptist Church, a solid waste collection permit for Countryside Disposal LLC, and an amendment to the traffic-control map adding a four‑way stop at Church and Sherman streets; an incentive package for Jay Skinner Bakery was approved after an executive session.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Paris City Council approved a series of routine items with minimal public debate.
The council accepted a lengthy consent agenda, then approved a zoning change that would allow a portion of property owned by Ramsar Baptist Church to convert from single‑family to general retail to enable future development. Planning and zoning had recommended approval by a 5–0 vote and staff said the change is consistent with the city’s future land‑use plan.
The council also approved an ordinance to grant a solid waste collection permit to Nelson and Tana Stowell, doing business as Countryside Disposal LLC, allowing that business to expand into the city. The council amended the traffic control map to install a four‑way stop at Church Street and Sherman Street after unanimous recommendation from the traffic commission.
Following an executive session, council approved an incentive package recommended by the Paris Economic Development Corporation for Jay Skinner Bakery and instructed the city attorney to prepare a performance agreement for PEDC board approval. No further details were transcribed in the public session about the incentive terms.
All of the above measures were recorded as approved during the meeting.
