The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows <br /> this area as Residential-Low Density and Retail. The proposed B-2 zoning would be compatible <br /> and consistent with the surrounding zoning and uses. <br /> The subject site is located within a mixed-use area and rezoning to B-2 Commercial District <br /> should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City as a whole. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. <br />
