Excerpts from Decatur City Plan Commission July 6, 2006. Cal.No. 06-43 Petition of BOLD MACHINE WORKS to rezone 1909 South Taylorville Road from R 1, Single Family Residence District to M-1, Heavy Commercial/Light Industrial District. Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mrs. Stewart presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site is located at 1909 South Taylorville Road and contains approximately 0.560 acres. The site was recently annexed into the city limits on May 15, 2006. There are currently two manufacturing businesses located at the site. Malloy Barcol Overdoors of Decatur is located on the north side of the building and Wright Products is on the south side. The petitioner proposes to rezone 1909 South TayloYville Road from R 1, Single Family Residence District to M-1, Intense Commercial-Light Industrial District so that they can be in compliance with the zoning ordinance. When property is annexed to the city it automatically comes in as R-1; in order for the businesses to be allowed to continue in operation the property must be rezoned. Areas to the north, south and west are located in the County. The area to the east is zoned M-1, Intense Commercial - Light Industrial District. The Decatur Urban Area Land Use Plan shows this area as Light Industrial and Commercial. The existing use is compatible with adjacent uses to the east as well as the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Section 29 requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 06-43 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. John requested staff start providing the Commissioners with information from the County concerning land that would surround the property in question.
