The City Plan Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the January 3, 2003 hearing; the minutes of the meeting are attached BACKGROUND: The subject site contains 10.003 acres and is currently undeveloped. The subject petitioners are requesting that the property be rezoned to R-3, Single Family Residence District to allow for the development of a residential subdivision. The area in question is currently being annexed into the City of Decatur. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the adjacent Low-Density Residential uses in the area, particularly the single-family lots to the north and west that surround the area on two sides. Areas to the south and east are in the County but are also developed as single family residences. The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as a Low Density Residential area and it is proposed to be developed as such. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There are no known objectors to this petition.
