STAFF REPORT <br /> Decatur City Plan Commission <br /> Hearing Date March 7, 2024 <br /> Case No. 24-04 <br /> Property Location 4210 East Lakewood Avenue <br /> Request Rezoning from R-1 Single-Family District to R-3 Single-Family <br /> Residence District <br /> Petitioner Timothy and Christy Wilderman <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The subject site contains a detached garage on an approximately 0.42-acre site. The subject site <br /> is currently zoned R-1 Single-Family Residence District. <br /> Surrounding Land Use and Zoning <br /> Direction Existing Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan <br /> Subject Property Garage R-1 Residential—Low Density <br /> North Railroad County Transportation/Utility <br /> South Single-Family Residence District R-3 Residential—Low Density <br /> East Single-Family Residence District R-3 Residential—Low Density <br /> West Single-Family Residence District R-3 Residential—Low Density <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The petitioner owns both 4210 and 4230 East Lakewood Avenue (which are adjacent to one <br /> another) and would like to combine the two lots by doing a Zoning Lot but the lots must be in the <br /> same zoning district. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> The surrounding zoning districts include County Zoning to the north and R-3 Single-Family <br /> Residence District to the east, south, and west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive <br /> Plan shows this area as Residential-Low Density and Transportation/Utility. The proposed R-3 <br /> zoning would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding zoning and uses. <br /> The subject site is located within a Residential-Low Density area and rezoning to R-3 Single- <br /> Family Residence District should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City as a <br /> whole. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. <br />
