Page 2 of 2 <br /> 901 North Main Street <br /> December 3,2009 <br /> locations for the garage include west of the proposed economy shop, west of the west parking lot <br /> and just south of the two parking lots located on West King Street. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 1. The petitioner wants to improve their campus as well as this particular area of the community by <br /> providing a safe and secure site that will attract people to participate in church ministries and <br /> events. <br /> 2. Staff believes that the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area and will <br /> have a positive impact on the neighborhood. The church has been at this location for a number of <br /> years and it has not appeared to have had an adverse effect on the neighborhood. The plan is <br /> consistent with the comprehensive plan for commercial development. The existing streets are <br /> adequate to carry the anticipated traffic of the development. The proposed utilities are adequate to <br /> serve the development. <br /> 3. The PD Planned Development has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; <br /> Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the proposed rezoning. <br /> 4. The Zoning Ordinance allows the site to be rezoned without a site plan but no development may <br /> occur until a plan has been approved by the City Council. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 1. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to PD Planned Development District with the <br /> following condition: <br /> a. Landscaping: Ten (10) evergreen shrubs will be required to be planted around the base of <br /> the sign. The trees shall be two (2) feet in height at the time of planting. <br /> b. A sign permit will be required before the sign can be erected. <br /> c. Site, landscaping and lighting plans shall be submitted to the Plan Commission for public <br /> hearing and approved by the City Council prior to any development. <br /> PLAN COMMISSION ACTION <br /> 1. Section XIX. requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing to review a Planned <br /> Development District, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for <br /> final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 09-53 to the City Council with a <br /> recommendation for approval is suggested. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning and Economic <br /> Development Division, Economic and Urban Development Department, City of Decatur. <br /> Joselyn A.
