Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of Apri125, 2016: <br /> Cal. No. 16-OS Petition of DAVID BINDER, to rezone property <br /> located at 2882 NORTH DINNEEN STREET from <br /> M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District. <br /> Ms. Suzy Stickle was sworn in by Mrs. Janet Poland. <br /> Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: <br /> The subject site located at 2882 North Dinneen Street is currently zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial <br /> District and consists of approximately 8.2 acres. <br /> The site has a large commercial structure as well as accessory structures and parking that serves <br /> the commercial structure. The subject site was the former location of the AIW Hall. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light Industrial District which would allow for all those uses permitted in the M-1 <br /> District. <br /> Rezoning the site from M-2 Heavy Industrial District to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light <br /> Industrial District would decrease the intensity of the uses permitted on the site and not create <br /> any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole. <br /> The surrounding zoning includes M-2 Heavy Industrial District in all directions however there is <br /> considerable M-1 zoning along Pershing Road just north of the site. The Macon County and <br /> Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Employment. The existing use of the property is <br /> a permitted use in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. The existing use is <br /> compatible with adjacent uses to the north. <br /> Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. <br /> Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a <br /> public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City <br /> Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 16-OS to the City Council <br /> with a recommendation for approval is suggested. <br /> Mr. David Binder, petitioner, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Mr. Binder stated he acquired this property and is requesting to rezone from M-2 to M-1 to <br /> continue commercial business at the location. <br /> There were no questions and no objectors present. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Myatt/Sotirof� to forward Calendar No. 16-OS to the City Council <br /> with a recommendation for approval. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
