Section Three Continuer) Purpose I Please state the purpose of the proposed rezoning. To become the site of a free standing restaurant building with drive up facility for an existing Decatur restaurant. SECTION FOUR: JUSTIFICATION The pealioner submits to the City Plan Commission and City Council the followin facts(additional e s inay be attached): With the redevelopment of the Grand / Rte#48 corridor, there is good logic for xisting vacant land (idle for many years)to be developed with a positive local restaurant operation. A free standing building with drive-up will enhance the gross dollars of sales and attract other b siness operations to the area because of the in eased vehicular traffic. We anticipate our gross sales to increase by approximately 30aQM and therefore increase sales tax revenue to the City. Adjoining properties to the south, Colonial Place, U-tops, Famous Liquor and Walgreens, as well as the planned new County Market are all commercial enterprises as well as many of those on the east side of the Oakland & Route#48 corridor_ Also to the southwest is Acorn Phannacal, Therefore, there is little or no demand for the land in question ever becoming a site for new residences. Trend of the neighborhood clearly points to retail and commercial uses.
