Ms. Stickle gave the recommendation of staff: The Decatur City Council approved the rezoning of a portion of the Macon County Eye Center site to O-1 Office District in 1995. A Planned Unit Development was approved and established at this time. An amendment to the PUD was subsequently approved in 1997 allowing for the lot to the north to become part of the PUD in order to provide adequate space for a parking lot. A second amendment was approved by City Council in October of 2003 to allow for the construction of a 3,890 square foot addition to the current structure. This addition was never constructed. The petitioner has requested an amendment to the approved PUD to allow for the '� conshuction of a 4,400 square foot addition to the current structure. The expansion to the ' building will allow for more examination rooms to offer more patient space and services. '� This increase in size is necessary to meet the Illinois Department of Health standards.
