McCrady, City Manager <br /> Billy us <br /> T , Assistant Ci Manager <br /> Y n' g <br /> Suzan M. Stickle, Senior Planner <br /> Joselyn A. Stewart, Transportation Planner <br /> SUBJECT: Rezoning from M-1 Intense Commercial-Light Industrial District to B-2 <br /> Commercial District at One Bachrach Court <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning petition as <br /> submitted. The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the <br /> February 3, 2011 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: On October 1, 2009 the City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to approve a <br /> rezoning from M-1 Intense Commercial-Light Industrial District to B-2 Commercial District. <br /> The petition was held at the petitioners request and was never forwarded on to City Council. <br /> Since it had been over one (1) year's time the petition had to go back to Plan Commission before <br /> it could be forwarded to City Council. <br /> The subject site is located at One Bachrach Court and is currently developed as a 136,000 square <br /> foot warehouse/office building with a parking lot and retention pond on approximately 47 acres. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the five (5) lots from M-1 Intense Commercial-Light Industrial <br /> District to B-2 Commercial District in order to relocate their church which is currently located at <br /> the corner of Wood Street and Edward Street. A church is a permitted use in the B-2, <br /> Commercial District. St. Paul's ministry has grown and expanded over the last 146 years and the <br /> church is in need of a larger facility to hold their worship services. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission <br /> Meeting. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The rezoning petition has been reviewed by the City's <br /> Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the petition. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at <br /> 424-2782 or at jstewart@decaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br />
