The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval <br /> of this petition at the June 1,2017 meeting;the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject site is approximately 0.14 acres and is located at 4 and 12 Southland Drive. The subject site consists of two(2)single <br /> family residential structures and a detached garage. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-3 Single Family Residence District to 0-1 Office District which would allow for all <br /> those uses permitted in the 0-1 Office District. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the north,B-3 Planned Shopping Center District to the east and R-3 <br /> Single Family Residence District to the south and west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as <br /> Residential-Low Density. The permitted uses in the 0-1 Office District are compatible with the commercial and office uses in the <br /> area.Although the Comprehensive Plan shows the subject site as Residential-Low Density,the site is adjacent to US Business <br /> Route 51 as well as commercial and office uses.The 0-1 Office District can create a transition area between the commercial uses <br /> and the residential uses.The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent uses and zoning to the north and west with a mix of <br /> commercial and office uses present. <br /> US Business Route 51 is a well-traveled state route in the City. A zoning district more intensive than residential fronting this state <br /> route is appropriate for this site.The proposed 0-1 Office District is compatible with the other districts and uses along the route. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> The petition has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee;Planning,Engineering and Fire. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan Stickle at 424-2786 or at sstickle@decaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance Ordinance <br /> Supporting Documentation Backup Material <br /> https:Hdecatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=1185 7/20/2017 <br />
