Partnership Representative Edward Flynn LAND USE AND ZONING Direction Existing Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan Subject Property Undeveloped B-3 Retail North School R-1 Schools South School R-1 Open Space East Office B-3 Retail West Single Family Residential R-1 Residential-Low Density BACKGROUND 1. The subject site is approximately 1.33 acres and is located at 960 East Mound Road and is currently undeveloped. 2. The subject site was rezoned to B-3 Planned Shopping Center District in 1982 and was to serve as part of the commercial area for a greater development that was to include a residential subdivision. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The petitioner proposes to rezone from B-3 Planned Shopping Center District to 0-1 Office District which would allow for all those uses permitted in the 0-1 Office District. STAFF ANALYSIS 1. The surrounding zoning includes R-1 Single Family Residence District to the north,south and west and B-3 Planned Shopping Center District to the east. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Retail. The permitted uses in the 0-1 Office District are compatible with Retail as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent zoning and uses in all directions. 2. Rezoning the subject site to 0-1 Office District will make it more easily developed and create a district that is a little more compatible with the surrounding uses. 3. The proposed rezoning of the subject site should have no adverse effect on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole.
