' � �P`age 2 of 2 I� <br /> 2455 East Pershing Road � <br /> April 5, 2001 �, <br /> d. The access drive to the parking shall be 24 feet in width ar two 12 feet directional drives. ' <br /> 3. The subject property contains a 14,000 square foot lot. The property is improved with a <br /> single-family detached residence structure. The property is bounded by residential uses on the <br /> south, west and east sides. City water and sanitary sewer services are available to the site. <br /> Access is currently available from Pershing Road & also available from N. 25"' Street. <br /> 4. There have been several recent O-1 rezonings to the east (27`h and Pershing). The most recent <br /> rezoning was in July, 2000. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> 5. The petitioner has amended her petition to rezone one lot totaling .321 acres, to O-1, Office <br /> District. The petitioner has indicated that the lot will be used for Office use and will house an <br /> EEG lab (clinic to test brain waves). <br /> STAFF ANALYSIS <br /> 6. As mentioned in the last staff report, the property owner does not own the adjacent property <br /> which lies to the west of the subject property. The existence of the lot to the west divides the <br /> existing B-2 and proposed O-1 districts. Therefore, rezoning the subject property could still be <br /> construed as spot zoning. <br /> 7. The proposed rezoning is not compatible with the adjacent Low-Density Residential uses in the <br /> area, particularly the single-family lot to the west that separates the property from existing <br /> commercial zoning. <br /> 8. Although the proposed use may not negatively impact the neighboring properties, <br /> considerations must also be given to any other use that could be allowed if the property is <br /> rezoned to O-1. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> 9. Although staff continues to have concerns about this rezoning, it is consistent with earlier <br /> approvals on the same street. The O-1 District is less intrusive than the originally proposed <br /> B-1 and provides adequate screening for the surrounding residential uses. Therefore, staff does <br /> not object to the proposal. <br /> The above report constitutes the testimony and recommendation of the Planning Division, <br /> Economic and Urban Development Department, City of Decatur. <br /> Joselyn A.
