Landscaping meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance is proposed for the frontage and <br /> parking as well as the required buffer yard along the north and east sides of the development. <br /> One (1) freestanding sign has been proposed for the development to be located at the southwest <br /> corner of the proposed development. The proposed sign will be 23 feet in height with an area of <br /> approximately 122 square feet of which 50 square feet will be an electronic message unit. <br /> The building material of the fa�ade for the proposed mixed use structure will consist of stone, <br /> brick and aluminum. <br /> The petitioner will be required to provide a one (1) lot subdivision plat to the City for review and <br /> approval and the formal site plan will not be approved until the plat has been approved by the <br /> City and recorded with Macon County. <br /> The City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance provides standards for reviewing applications for planned <br /> developments. The following is an analysis of the review standards: <br /> 1. Compatibility with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and general area. <br /> The proposed development is compatible with the character of the area to the west, south <br /> and southwest. <br /> 2. Effect on area. The proposed development will not significantly increase traffic to the <br /> area when changing from a single family residential use to a mixed use development <br /> based on staff review of the current traffic as well as projected traffic based on the <br /> proposed mixed use development. <br /> 3. Design and amenities. The proposed development is designed to meet the standards of <br /> landscaping as required by the Zoning Ordinance including alternative compliance. The <br /> fa�ade of the proposed mixed use structure will consist of stone, brick and aluminum. <br /> 4. Consistency with comprehensive plan. The proposed development is not consistent with <br /> the Comprehensive Plan as it currently calls for Residential Low-Density. The site is <br /> located along the Pershing Road corridor at a signaled intersection adjacent to <br /> considerable commercial development and where all other corners are developed with <br /> office, retail and restaurant uses. <br /> S. Traffic capaciry. According to Staff's review of the traffic, the intersections of West <br /> Pershing Road and North MacArthur Road currently have adequate capacity to <br /> accommodate the traffic generated by the mixed use development. <br /> 6. Adequacy of utilities. Proposed utilities and infrastructure will be adequate to serve the <br /> proposed land uses. <br /> 7. Integration. The proposed development will be developed in accordance with an overall <br /> design plan. <br />
