The rezoning will also consolidate the property that is currently <br /> encompassed by multiple zoning districts (B-1, Neighborhood Shopping District and R-3 Single <br /> Family Residence District) into one (1) district(B-2 Commercial District). <br /> The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the soutk R-3 Single Family <br /> Residence District to the north and east and B-1 Neighborhood Shoppin District to the west. <br /> The permitted land uses in the B-2 Commercial District are compatible wi$ adjacent uses to the <br /> south and east. <br /> The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as retail. This property is <br /> adjacent to South 22"d Street which is a state route and a major thoroughf e m the City and not <br /> conducive to residential development.
