STAFF REPORT <br /> Decatur City Plan Commission <br /> COMMON NAME: 480 North Brush College Road <br /> GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> Hearing Date May 5, 2011 <br /> Calendar No. 11-10 <br /> Property Location 480 North Brush College Road <br /> Requested Action Rezone from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial <br /> District <br /> Petitioner Beverly A. Chappell <br /> LAND USE AND ZONING <br /> Direction Existing Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan <br /> Subject Property Commercial R-3 Commercial <br /> North Commercial B-2 Commercial <br /> South Single Family Residence R-3 Low Density Residential <br /> East Undeveloped R-3 Commercial <br /> West Commercial B-2, R-3 I Commercial <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> 1. The subject site is located at 480 North Brush College Road and is currently developed as a <br /> commercial business. Currently, a resale shop is operating out of the commercial building. Prior <br /> to the resale shop, the building was occupied by Plaza Printing, Bibb Ribs, Junction Custard and <br /> Nicks Greek Cafe. <br /> 2.

The bottom portion of the tract of land (where the <br /> parking lot lies) which consists of Lots 49, 50, and 51 of Lake Park Place Addition were not <br /> rezoned at that time and therefore remained R-3 Single Family Residence District. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 1. The petitioner proposes to rezone the western 75 feet of the three most southern lots from R-3 <br /> Single Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District in order for the zoning to match up <br /> with the commercial zoning of the building. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 1. The surrounding zoning includes B-2 Commercial District to the north, R-3 Single Family <br /> Residence District and B-2 Commercial District to the west and R-3 Single Family Residence <br /> District to the south and east.
