The subject site is approximately 3.8 acres and is located in the 3100 Block of East Mound Road. <br /> The site is currently zoned R-6 Multiple Dwelling District and undeveloped, <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 1. The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to B-2 Commercial <br /> District to allow for all those uses permitted in the B-2 Commercial District. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 1. The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the north and west, R-1 Single <br /> Family Residence District to the east and 0-1 Office District to the south and west. The Macon <br /> County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Residentiall-Low Density. The <br /> permitted land uses in the B-2 District are compatible with the land uses to the east and west. The <br /> proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent zoning districts to the north, south and west. <br /> 2. Although the Comprehensive Plan shows this area as residential, staff believes there is low <br /> potential for development of this site for residential given its proximity to the Railroad and <br /> intersection of East Mound Road and IL Route 48. A commercial use in Iclose proximity to an <br /> intersection with a state route and a railroad would be an appropriate use for,this site. <br /> 3. If the property is rezoned to B-2 Commercial District and developmentl occurs, the adjacent <br /> properties will have a buffer yard between the residential properties an the development in <br /> accordance with the regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. <br /> i <br /> i <br />
