The City Plan Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the <br /> February 1,2018 meeting;the relevant minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject site is a vacant lot of approximately 6,080 square feet located at 2152 East Prairie Street. This subject site is zoned <br /> R-3 Single Family Residence District. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping <br /> District. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the north,B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to the east and south, <br /> R-3 Single-Family Residence District to the south and west.The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area <br /> as Residential-Low Density. The proposed B-1 zoning would be compatible with adjacent zoning and uses to the north, east and <br /> south. <br /> The subject site is located within a mixed-use area and rezoning to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District should have no adverse <br /> effect on the general area or the City as a whole. <br /> If the property were to be developed for a commercial use in the future,a buffer yard with screening would be required along the <br /> west property line in order to protect the abutting residential use. Since the site is located on a corner lot,a 25-foot setback would <br /> also be required along the east and south property lines. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: No objectors spoke 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 Joselyn Stewart at 424-2782 or at <br /> j stewart@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=1429 2/15/2018 <br />
