DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEMORANDUM No. 11-22 May 11, 2011 TO: Honorable Mayor Michael T. McElroy and City Council FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, City Manager Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager Suzan M. Stickle, Senior Planner Joselyn A. Stewart, Transportation Planner SUBJECT: Rezoning from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District at 480 North Brush College Road SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial. The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the May 5, 2011 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The subject site is located at 480 North Brush College Road and is currently developed as a commercial business. Currently, a resale shop is operating out of the commercial building. Prior to the resale shop, the building was occupied by Plaza Printing, Bibb Ribs, Junction Custard and Nicks Greek Cafe. Our zoning maps showed this entire property including the commercial building as R-3, Single Family Residence District. Upon questions by the petitioner as to the zoning of the entire property, staff researched and discovered the portion of the property with the commercial building is actually zoned B-2 Commercial District as it is located on the Western portions of Lots 47 and 48 of Lake Park Place Addition. These lots were rezoned in 1964 in a group tract rezoning stemming from forced annexations. The bottom portion of the tract of land (where the parking lot lies) which consists of Lots 49, 50, and 51 of Lake Park Place Addition were not rezoned at that time and therefore remained R-3 Single Family Residence District. The petitioner proposes to rezone the western 75 feet of the three most southern lots from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District in order for the zoning to match up with the commercial zoning of the building. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The rezoning has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the rezoning. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at 424-2782 or at jstewartgdecaturil.gov. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None.
