BACKGROUND: The 14.5 acre subject site is located at 150 South Wycklesoad and is currently zoned M-3 Limited Industrial District. This site was annexed to the City of De atur in April of 1977. The site was rezoned from R-1 Single Family Residence District to M-3 Limited Industrial District in May of 1977 which allowed for the existing facility, including busi less headquarters, a manufacturing plant and distribution center to be constructed. The petitioner proposes to rezone from M-3 Limited Industrial District to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District which would allow for any industrial uses that are permitted in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. There is currently an appreciable amount of industrial and commercial development in the area in addition to the established residential so the proposed rezoning would be in li e with what currently exists both in terms of surrounding uses and zoning classifications. There is an outlet for Advanced Disposal, auto repair facilities and other light industrial uses in the area adjacent to some residential. The surrounding zoning includes M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to the north and R-1 Single Family Residence District to the east. The zoning to the west andouth is in the County and includes both light industrial and residential land uses. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this site as employment. The Comprehensive Plan shows retail to the north and west and residential-low density to the south, east and west. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Co mission Meeting.
