DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEMORANDUM No. 15-28 August 12, 2015 TO: Honorable Mayor Julie Moore-Wolfe and City Council FROM: Tim Gleason, City Manager Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager Suzan M. Stickle, Senior Planner Joselyn A. Stewart, Transportation Planner SUBJECT: Rezone from R-3 Single Family Residence District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District in the 4100 Block of Nottingham Drive SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the July 9, 2015 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The subject site is located in the 4100 Block of Nottingham Drive and is currently zoned R-3 Single Family Residence District and consists of approximately 22.7 acres. The petitioner proposes to rezone from R-3 Single Family Residence District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to allow for all those uses permitted in the R-6 Multiple Dwelling District. Rezoning the site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to R-6 Multiple Dwelling District should not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole. The surrounding zoning includes County to the north, County and R-1 Single Family Residence District to the east, R-3 Single Family Residence District to the west and R-1 Single Family Residence District to the south. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as a mixture of uses including Open Space, Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential, Institutional, Schools — Public & Private and Residential — Low Density. The permitted uses in the R-6 District are compatible with both the existing adjacent uses and zoning districts. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at 424-2782 or at jstewarte decaturil.gov. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None.
