The area in question was recently annexed into the Decatur city limits. <br /> Upon review of land use and zoning patterns for the general area, staff notes that prior to <br /> annexation to the city, the area from Richland Community College to Boyd Road for 1/2 mile east <br /> ofBrush College Road was zoned M-1 Light Industrial by the county and used mostly as farm <br /> land. Most of the area west of Brush College is zoned M-1 or M-2, with the exception of 500 <br /> feet from Larkdale which is zoned R-1. Areas to the south of the tract and west of Brush College <br /> Road that are within the city limits are zoned both M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 Heavy Industrial <br /> and developed as such. <br /> Upon review of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of 1990, staffnotes that the subject premises <br /> are earmarked for Light industrial and commercial development. Consequently, the proposed <br /> zone would be in keeping with the intent of the land use plan as noted. <br /> City of Decatur water and sanitary sewer utilities will be e�ended to the property. Access to the <br /> site will be from Hospitality Lane which will be dedicated city right of way. Internal design and <br /> review of the infrastructure serving this tract will occur prior to issuance of required building <br /> permits. Further, proposals for development would be subject to applicable provisions of the <br /> subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance. <br /> In view of this data, staff recommends approval of the petition as presented. <br />
