The City Plan Commission voted <br /> 7-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the June 1,2017 meeting;the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject site is approximately 1.14 acres and is located at 3550 North 27th Street. The subject site has an approximated 5,000 <br /> square foot industrial structure. <br /> The subject site was annexed to the City of Decatur in March of 1975 and was automatically zoned R-I Single Family Residence <br /> District as required by State Statute and the Zoning Ordinance.The property was not rezoned at that time.The property has <br /> operated with industrial and commercial uses prior to and since its annexation into the City. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-I Single Family Residence District to M-I Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District <br /> which would allow for all those uses permitted in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes M-I Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to the north and west and R-3 Single Family <br /> Residence District to the east and B-I Neighborhood Shopping District to the south and east.There are railroad tracks immediately <br /> adjacent to the south and east of the property and these railroad tracks run alongside Illinois Route 48.The Macon County and <br /> Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Employment. The permitted uses in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial <br /> District are compatible with employment as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent <br /> zoning and uses to the north and west as well as with the commercial to the south and east.The subject site is separated from the <br /> residential area to the east by the railroad tracks and Illinois Route 48. <br /> The subject site is located within an industrial area and has operated as such for a number of decades and rezoning to M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City as a whole. <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 ssticklegdecaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance CON er Nlemo <br /> Supporting Documentation ('ON er klemo <br /> https:Hdecatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=1207 7/14/2017 <br />
