� � Excerpts from the Decatur City Plan Commission June2, 2005 Cal. No. OS-23 Petition of TYSON AND BILLY ARCHITECTS, P.C., to amend the B-2 PUD Commercial District Planned Unit Development to include the Victorian Woods 5enior Living Facility at 3910 West Main Street. Ms. Suzan Stickle was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Ms. Stickle gave the recommendation of staff: The subject property contains approximately 30 acres and is currently vacant. The property is located across West Main Street from Scovill Golf Course and was annexed into the City of Decatur in July 1971. The final plat of subdivision dividing the property into fifteen lots was approved by the City Council in August 2004. North Pazkway Crossing Drive runs nortrrsouth through the subdivision connecting US Route 36 to West Main Street. The B-2 Planned Unit Development was approved by the City Council in May 2002. The PUD is part of a development agreement executed between the City of Decatur and Real Estate Investors of Decatur. The original PUD was to include various commercial, office and multi-family residential uses. Lots 13, 14 and 15 were to be used for neighborhood commercial, multi-family or office development. The petitioner proposes to amend the approved PUD in order to construct a 60 unit senior living facility. It will be a two story facility located on an approximate three (3) acre lot. The proposed facility will be located on lots 13 and 14 of Cardwell Crossing. The only access to this site will be from North Parkway Crossing Drive,there will be no access to this facility from West Main Street. The proposed 60 unit facility site plan 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. The proposed senior living facility meets the intent of ihe original PUD which was designed to allow for a more residential character and use to the south end of the tract. The facility also will blend well with the surrounding uses and the overall character along West Main Street. Based on the previous analysis, the proposed PUD amendment is consistent with the intent of the original PUD. Staff recommends approval of the petition as proposed.
