. � <br /> Cal. No. 99-47 Petition of CECIL A. COLLINS, JR., Director of Community <br /> Development, to rezone the premises at 1122-1166 East Marietta Street <br />, and the property generally located south and east of the intersection of <br /> Illinois and Marietta Street from R-3 Single Family Residence District to <br /> B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. <br /> Mr. Forgey presented the recommendation of sta,ff: <br /> The subject property includes a portion of the Boys' and Girls' Club. The site is currently zoned <br /> B-1 in part and R-3 in part. The purpose of this City-initiated rezoning is to assure that the whole <br /> property will have the same zoning classification. E�sting zoning in the vicinity is mixed—there is <br /> residential zoning to the east (R-6), north(R-6), and west (R-3), respectively; and there is M-1, <br /> Industrial, to the south. This is a residential neighborhood, close to a park and a school. The <br /> e�sting B-1 zoning on the developed part of the parcel constitutes a commercial spot zone. Staff <br /> proposes to make the entire parcel B-1 to eliminate the e�sting discrepancy. <br /> Staff recommends approval of this application as written. <br /> Mr. John questioned why the petition stated the rezoning to be from R-3 and B-1 to O-1. Mr. <br /> Forgey stated that staff originally proposed an O-1 zoning as that is consistent with the present <br /> use of the property. The Director of Community Development advised that the B-1 zoning was <br /> consistent with the surrounding uses. It was noted that the petition includes both the Decatur <br /> Macon County Opportunities Corporation and the Boys and Girls Club. <br /> There were no objectors present. <br /> It was moved and seconded (John/Jacobs)to forward Cal. No. 99-47 to City Council with <br /> recommendation for approval of B-1 zoning. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
