� <br /> . Page 2 of 2 II <br /> � Macon County Animal Shelter '� <br /> April 5, 2001 ' <br /> 5. The petitioner also proposes to improve Carolyn Avenue to city standard far a rural <br /> cross-section street to access the new facility. These improvements would allow for safe <br /> passage of fire and rescue equipment to the site. <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 6. The petitioner may seek a Special Use Permit under Section XXI.A.l.i of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance, "any public or government building or structure." ' <br /> 7. The proposed new use is consistent with the goals of Macon County and of the City of <br /> Decatur to improve the housing conditions for stray animals. The new shelter would meet a <br /> distinct need of the community. <br /> 8. From a land use perspective, the petitioner's proposed use is not inconsistent with <br /> institutional land uses within the vicinity. The site is severely limited for development by <br /> floodplain coverage and the adjacent prison site. As well, the petitioner has adequate area to <br /> expand the center without disrupting residential uses adjacent to the property. <br /> 9. The petitioner has made every attempt to locate the proposed structure in such a way as to not <br /> interfere with or disturb the use of residential property located to the east. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 10.
