CONINIUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br />' NO. 99-3 8 <br /> February 23, 1999 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members <br /> FROM: 7ames L. Willia r., City Manager <br /> Cecil A. Collins, ., Director of Community Developmen����� <br /> Kathy J. Miller, Planner�(a(y�J <br /> U�� <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning Tract west of North Brush College Road and east of SBI <br /> Route 48 <br /> The subject petition requests that a 69.93 acre tract of land generally located west of North Brush <br /> College Road and east of SBI Route 48 be rezoned from R-1 Single Family Residence District to <br /> M-1 Light Industrial District. The area in question was annexed into the Decatur city limits on <br /> November 16, 1998 (Ordinance No. 98-68). <br /> Upon review of land use and zoning patterns for the general area, staff notes that prior to <br /> annexation to the city, most of the area west of North Brush College Road was zoned M-1 or <br /> M-2, (with the exception of 500 feet from Larkdale which is zoned R-1) by the county and used <br /> mostly as farm land. The area from Richland Community College to Boyd Road for 1/2 mile east <br /> of Brush College Road was zoned M-1 Light Industrial District before a portion was annexed into <br /> the city limits. The Dodge City Plaza Subdivision was zoned M-1 on January 19, 1999. Areas to <br /> the south of the tract and west of Brush College Road that are within the city limits are zoned <br /> both M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 Heavy Industrial and developed as such. <br /> Upon review of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of 1990, staff notes that the subject premises <br /> are earmarked for light industrial development. Consequently, the proposed zone would be in <br /> keeping with the intent of the land use plan as noted. <br /> City of Decatur water and sanitary sewer utilities will be extended to the property. Access to the <br /> site will be from Brush College Road. Internal design and review of the infrastructure serving this <br /> tract will occur prior to issuance of required building permits. Further, proposals for development <br /> will be subject to applicable provisions of the subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinances. <br /> In view of this data, staff recommends approval of the petition as presented. <br />
