ECONOMIC AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM Memo No. OS-165 August 24, 2005 TO: Honorable May r Paul Osborne and City Council FROM: Steve Garm , ity Manager Dane C. Bra , ICP, Assistant City Manage�' Kathy J. Miller, AICP, Seniar Planner�,.��MY Suzan Stickle, Senior Planner�5 SUBJECT: Request to amend O-1 PUD Office District Planned Unit Development — 646 West Pershing Road SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the petition with the following condition: 1. The site will be developed in accordance with the plans submitted labeled Exhibit A. The City Plan Commission voted 10-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the August 4, 2005 hearing; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The petitioner has requested an amendment to the approved PUD to allow for the construction 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. 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 proposed amendment allowing for the expansion of the existing building is consistent with the intent of the original PUD. The building materials and colors used for the expansion will match the current building and therefore maintain the character of the current development and the surrounding area. The proposed addition has met all the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and has been approved by the Department of Economic and Urban Development and the Department of Engineering and Infrastructure. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were objectors to the petition at the Plan Commission meeting. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan Stickle at 424-2790 or at smstickle(c�decaturnet.or�. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None
