The City Plan Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the July 6, 2006 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: 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 Taylorville 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.
