Excerpts from Plan Commission Minutes of November 6, 2003 Cal. No. 03-48 Petition of CHERIE MANNS, to rezone the premises at 734 South Jackson Street from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to R-5 Two Family Residence District. Mrs. Joselyn Stewart was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mrs. Stewart presented the following recommendation of the staff: The subject property contains .15 acres and is currently undeveloped. Properties to the north, west, and east are all developed with single family residences. Property to the south is developed as a neighborhood barber shop/beauty supply shop. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as a High Density Residential area and it is proposed to be developed as such. The petitioner proposes to rezone one (1) lot totaling .15 acres, to R-5 Two Family Residence District. The petitioner has indicated she would like to use the property to construct a duplex unit. Access to the property would be along Jackson Street. Despite the fact that the area is zoned B-1, Neighborhood Shopping District, most of the structures surrounding this area are single family structures. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent uses in the area as well as the Decatur Urban Area Land Use Plan. Based on the above analysis, staff recommends approval of the petition as submitted. Representing the petitioner, John Gullium,was sworn in by Ms. Jesse. Mr. Gullium stated that he felt that the approved change would benefit the t�base and would fill a spot in the neighborhood. There were no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Smith/Wakeland) to forward Cal. No. 03-48 to the City Council with recommendation for approval as submitted by petitioner. Motion carried unanimously.
