Home Browse Search

A garage was to be constructed to house their church vans, outdoor maintenance equipment as well as general storage, most of which are currently housed offsite. Possible locations for the garage included west of the proposed economy shop, west of the west parking lot and just south of the two parking lots located on West King Street. On May 6, 2010 the City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to approve the PD Planned Development District Amendment. The petition was approved by City Council by a 6-0 vote on May 17, 2010. At this time the petitioner proposed to amend their PD Planned Development District in order to replace their existing lighting with new light fixtures in the parking lot. The Zoning Ordinance allowed the site to be rezoned to PD without a site plan but no development could occur until a plan had been approved by the City Council. The petitioner proposes to amend their PD Planned Development District at this point to allow for the construction of a garage, additional signage and to approve an actual PD plan. The proposed garage will be 32 feet by 48 feet(32' x 48') and will be 50 feet from the south property line and 12 feet from the west property line. The signage being proposed is as follows: a. Direction Sign Panel 1: Double sided non-illuminated directional sign. The sign will be 28 inches by 36 inches. The overall height shall not exceed three (3) feet. b. Direction Sign Panel 2: Single sided non-illuminated directional sign. The sign will be 36 inches by 48 inches. The overall height shall not exceed four(4) feet. c. Direction Sign Panel 3: Double sided non-illuminated directional sign. The sign will be 28 inches by 36 inches. The overall height shall not exceed three (3) feet. d. Sign Panel 4: Single sided non-illuminated directional sign. The sign will be 36 inches by 48 inches. The overall height shall not exceed four(4) feet. e. Sign Panel 5: Double sided non-illuminated directional sign. The sign will be 36 inches by 48 inches. The overall height shall not exceed four(4) feet. f. Signage is also proposed on the wall of the annex building. The wall signage will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the wall on which it is displayed. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The PD Amendment has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the PD Amendment. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at 424-2782 or at jstewartgdecaturil.gov. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None.
