COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> NO. 95-181 <br /> July 26, 1995 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Terry M. Howley and City Council Members <br /> FROM: 7ames C. Bacon, Jr., City Manager � <br /> William B. Turner, Acting Director of Community Development <br /> ����obert A. McQueen, Planner <br /> SUB7ECT: Ordinance Rezoning 2228 East Prairie Street <br /> The subject petition requests rezoning of premises commonly known as 2228 East Prairie Street <br /> from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. Presently <br /> platted as two separate lots, the area in question is developed with a parking lot which previously <br /> served a restaurant. The e�sting parking lot was developed some years ago after review and <br /> approval of the same by the Decatur Zoning Board of Appeals. The purpose of the proposed <br /> zone is to enable construction of a new convenience store and service station operation. <br /> Upon review of nearby zoning patterns, staff noted that adjoining property to the east and north is <br /> zoned B-2 Commercial; this zone was established in 1985 to enable serving liquor at a previous <br /> restaurant facility. Prior to said B-2 zone, this adjoining area was zoned B-1. <br /> Staff is of the opinion that the proposed zone is in keeping with land use and zoning patterns in <br /> the general area of the intersection of North 22nd Street and Route 36. Further, we note that the <br /> Comprehensive Land Use Plan ca11s for commercial development of the entire area bounded by <br /> North 22nd Street, Prairie Street, and Route 36. <br /> In view of the above data, staff recommends approval of the petition as presented. <br />
