Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of March 5,2015: <br /> Cal. No. 15-10 Petition of JUDD BOURNE, to rezone property <br /> located at 550 NORTH VAN DYKE STREET from <br /> M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District. <br /> The subject site located at 550 North Van Dyke Street is currently zoned -2 Heavy Industrial <br /> District and consists of approximately 1.69 acres. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District to allow for all those uses permitted'I in the M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District. <br /> Rezoning the site from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 lntens� Commercial-Light <br /> Industrial District would decrease the intensity of the uses permitted on the site and not create <br /> any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes M-2 Heavy Industrial to the north an east, M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial-Light Industrial District to the south and B-2 Commercial District to the west. The <br /> Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Employment. The existing <br /> uses of the property are permitted uses in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. <br /> The existing uses are compatible with both the adjacent uses and zoning dist icts. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. <br /> A motion to forward Calendar Number 15-10 to the City Council with a recommendation for <br /> approval is suggested. <br /> Ms. Diana Stone, representative, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Ms. Stone said that Mr. Judd Bourne wanted to change the rezoning so that they can have retail <br /> outlets to promote more business in Decatur. <br /> Chairman Livingston asked if there would be a lot of renovations. Ms. Stone said that <br /> renovations have been made and Mr. Bourne is ready to rent out to businesses. <br /> Mr. Frantz asked if any historical efforts had been put in to maintain the t uilding. Ms. Stone <br /> said she was not aware of any. Ms. Stickle said she was not aware of any historical efforts that <br /> had been made. <br /> There were no objectors present. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Sotiroff/Newton) to forward Calendar No 15-10 to the City <br /> Council with a recommendation for approval. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
