The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to PD Planned Development District in order to construct a commercial center for multiple uses including offices, retail, medical office, and a restaurant with drive-thru facility. The petitioner proposes to construct two commercial buildings, 12,577 square feet (east building) and 4,800 square feet (west building with a drive-thru facility) respectively. The overall area is proposed to be subdivided into two (2) lots. The petitioner will be required to submit a subdivision plat to the City for review and approval and the final site plan will not be approved until the plat has been approved by the City and recorded with Macon County.
