Excerpts of Decatur City Plan Commission Meeting May 5, 2005 Cal.No. OS-21 Petition of 1�RARANATHA ASSEMBLY OF GOD, to rezone the premises at 555 West Imboden Drive from R-1 Single Family Residence District to PD Planned Development District. Mr. Greg Crowe gave the following recommendation of staff: The subject site is vacant and currently zoned R 1, Single Family Residence District. The property is located to the south and east of Maranatha Assembly of God. The Golf Course under construction will surround the property to the south and east. The petitioner is requesting rezoning the property to PD Planned Development to allow for the construction of a single and multi-family independent living facility. A 96 unit Independent Living Center will be located in the center of the property with 17 duplex units and 4 single units surrounding the center. The surrounding zoning includes R-1 Single Family Residence, M 1 Light Industrial and Single Family Residence located in the County. The requested action is generally consistent with the intended land use for the site in the comprehensive plan, will complement the surrounding uses and will not diminish property values or create hardships for the neighbors. Final site, landscaping and lighting plans for the development will be reviewed and approved by the Department of Economic and Urban Development and the Department of Engineering and Infrastructure prior to building permits being issued. A subdivision plat separating the site from the Maranatha Assembly of God site will also need to be approved by both departments prior to l�uilding permits being issued. The Technical Review Committee reviewed the application for the project and determined that the utilities and pazking provided and the existing traffic capacity in the surrounding area are adequate for the proposed uses within the development. In review of Planned Development petitions, the Plan Commission is to review the application along with the site plan and base their recommendativn upon the consistency of the application with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance and the subdivision ordinance if appropriate. Staff recommends a motion to forward Calendar Number OS-21 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. Mr. John Fath, representative for the petitioner, was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mr. Fath questioned whether the commission had any questions as to the rezoning for the construction of an extended living care facility.
