01-001_@ 58: WA Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of August 3, 2017: Cal, No. 17-28 Petition of 22ND STREET DISCOUNT LIQUOR AND BULLOCK GARAGE,to rezone property located at 1325, 1375, 1395 NORTH 22nd STREET and 1370 and 1395 NORTH 21" STREET from B-2 Commercial District to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site is approximately 1.1 acres and is located in the 1300 Blocks of North 22nd Street and North 21st Street. The subject site has structures located on a majority of the lots. The subject site is zoned B-2 Commercial District. The southern portion of one of the structures located on the subject site is zoned M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. The petitioner proposes to rezone from B-2 Commercial District to M-I Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District which would allow for all those uses permitted in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. The surrounding zoning includes M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to the south and west and M-2 Heavy Industrial District to the east as well as B-2 Commercial District to north and east. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Heavy Commercial. The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent zoning and uses in all directions. The subject site is located within an industrial area and rezoning to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City as a whole. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 17-28 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Jonas Ozier, representative, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mr. Ozier stated it was discovered the property was zoned B-2 and also M-1. In order for any future development to happen the zoning needs to be consistent throughout the property. There were no questions and no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Peck/Frantz) to forward Calendar No. 17-28 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. Motion carried unanimously.
