The Macon <br /> County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Residential-Low Density, <br /> Institutional and Retail. The proposed B-2 zoning would be compatible and consistent with the <br /> surrounding zoning and uses. <br /> The subject site is located within a mixed-use area, and the proposed rezoning from R-3 Single- <br /> Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District is not expected to have an adverse effect <br /> on the surrounding area or the City as a whole. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. <br />
