Book: 45090Ir"ai 3'51-41 Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of September 7,2017: Cal. No. 17-34 Petition of TOM OLMSTED, to rezone property located at 102, 110, and 118 NORTH EDWARD STREET from 0-1 Office District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site is approximately 0.17 acres and is located at 102, 110 and 118 North Edward Street and is currently used for multi-family residential. The petitioner proposes to rezone from 0-1 Office District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District with the intent to create a one (1) lot subdivision to allow for the installation of a fence, driveway and courtyard. Rezoning the subject site from 0-1 Office District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District would allow for all those uses permitted in the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. The surrounding zoning includes 0-1 Office District to the north and east and R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to the west and B-2 Commercial District to the south. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential. The permitted uses in the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District are compatible with Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent zoning and uses in all directions. The proposed rezoning of the subject site should have no adverse effect on the adjacent properties 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 17-34 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Newton asked if the rezoning was required to put up a fence and a driveway. Ms. Stickle stated the fence has different requirements in the O-1 Office District and the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. There are three (3) individual lots and the petitioner is proposing to combine them as one (1) lot. Mr. Tom Olmsted, petitioner, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mr. Olmsted stated there is not appropriate parking in the area and he would like to put in a driveway, fence and courtyard. There were no questions and no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Myatt/Jeffery)to forward Calendar No. 17-34 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval as presented by staff. Motion carried unanimously.
