Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of October 6,2005 Cal. No. OS-56 Petition of BLACKSTONE GROUP,to amend the B-3 Planned Shopping Center at 255 West Mound Road to modify the placement of the Building and to allow a drive-through facility. Mr. Crowe presented the recommendation of staff: The subject property is 18.10 acres and is currently improved with a Target retail store on the west side of the site and future development area on the east side. In April of 2003,the Decatur City Council rezoned the site on Mound Road and US Business S 1 to B-3 Planned Shopping Center District to facilitate the development of Mound Center. The approved development included a 125,400 square foot Target store and 47,500 square feet of additional space for future retail and restaurant stores. The original plan needs to be amended for the building on Lot three(3). The location of that building needs to be changed from the east side of the lot to the west side of the lot. The plan also needs to be amended to allow for a drive through facility on Lot three(3). All development requirements including parking, signage, landscaping and lighting for Lot three (3) will adhere to the requirements of the original plan and Zoning Ordinance. The original plan allows for a ten(10)foot tall monument-style sign limited to forty (40) square feet in area for Lot three(3). The amendments will allow for development of the site that furthers the City's goal of developing the Mound Center site with quality retail sites enhancing the sales tax base. The proposed development is consistent with the goals of the original planned development, ' Comprehensive Plan and Urban Corridors Plan. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the amendment to the B-3 Planned Shopping Center with the following condition: Final site and landscaping plans for Lot three (3) shall be reviewed by the Economic and , Urban Development Department and the Department of Engineering and Infrastructure prior to construction. Mr. Nordholm asked if the sign will be located near the proposed building. Mr. Crowe stated that the freestanding sign will be located fronting Mound Road in the middle of Lot three(3).
