McElroy and City Council <br /> FROM: Gregg Zientara,Interim City Manager <br /> Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager <br /> Suzan M. Stickle, Senior Planner <br /> SUBJECT: Rezone 150 West Pershing Road from R-1 Single Family Residence District to B- <br /> 2 Commercial District <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to B-2 <br /> Commercial District. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this <br /> petition at the January 8,2015 meeting;the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: This rezoning request is for a .51 acre portion of the southwest corner of the <br /> site located at 150 West Pershing Road that is currently paved to allow for the display of <br /> automobiles for sale. The site has been utilized as a sales lot for a number of years and there is <br /> also a Decatur Sanitary Sewer Pump Station located in the area. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-1 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial <br /> District to allow for the continued use of this portion of the site as a parking/sales lot, to be <br /> consistent with the rest of the property to the east and to allow for all permitted uses in the B-2 <br /> Commercial District. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the south and east and R-1 Single <br /> Family Residence District to the north and west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive <br /> Plan shows this area as Retail. The proposed land use and zoning is compatible with adjacent <br /> uses to the south and east. The creek to the north and west creates a natural buffer between the <br /> commercial and residential properties. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission <br /> Meeting. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The petition has been reviewed by the City's Technical <br /> Review Committee; Planning,Engineering and Fire. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan M. Stickle at 424- <br /> 2786 or at smstickle@decaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGETITIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br />
