� Page 5 of 5 <br /> � Neaz North Rezoning and Planned Unit Development <br /> January 3, 2002 <br /> considerations. The PUD is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood; it will have a <br /> positive effect on the immediate area; the amenities and level of design will merit the <br /> exceptions to the Zoning Ordinance standards; the PUD conforms to the intent of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance and Decatur Urban Area Land Use Plan; the existing and proposed streets are <br /> adequate to handle the anticipated traffic; and the existing and proposed utilities are adequate <br /> for the proposed development. These standards will be applied in greater detail when the <br /> final plan is submitted as an amendment to the PUD. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 22. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning from R-5, B-1, B-2 and M-1 to R-6. This will <br /> make the zoning of the entire Near North area consistent and allow for a PUD consisting of <br /> mixed uses. <br />' 23. Staff further recommends approval of the PUD, subject to approval of the PUD Development <br /> Guidelines. This approval will allow for the zoning to be in place in time for the tax credit <br /> application, but still allows for further amendment to adopt a final plan before construction <br />' begins. <br /> PLAN COMMISSION ACTION <br /> 24. Under the Zoning Ordinance, the Plan Commission is required to hold a public hearing and <br />' "make a report"to the City Council regarding a rezoning petition. With regard to a Special <br /> Use Permit for a Planned unit development, a petition must be sent to the Plan Commission <br /> for"review and recommendation." Therefore, a separate motion to take each of the <br /> following actions is in order: <br /> a. Recommend approval of the rezoning from R-5,B-1, B-2 and M-1 to R-6; and <br /> b. Recommend approval of the Special Use Permit granting a Planned Unit Development <br /> for the Near North Neighborhood, subject to the New Near North Neighborhood PUD <br /> Development Guidelines. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning Division, <br /> Economic and Urban Development Department, City of Decatur. <br /> Steven J.
