Ms. Suzy Stickle was sworn in by Mrs. Janet Poland. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site located at 150 West Pershing Road and approximately 0.51 acres is currently paved to allow for the display of automobiles for sale. The site has been utilized as a sales lot for a number of years. There is also a Decatur Sanitary Sewer Pump Station located in the Southwest portion of the site. The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-1 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District to allow for the continued use of the site for parking/sales lot, to be consistent with the rest of the property to the east and to allow for all permitted uses in the B-2 Commercial District. The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the south and east and R-1 Single Family Residence District to the north and west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Retail. The proposed land use and zoning is compatible with adjacent uses to the south and east. The creek to the north and west creates a natural buffer between the commercial and residential properties. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 15-01 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr.Phil Cochran,representative,was sworn in by Mrs.Poland.
