Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of May 5, 2016: Cal. No. 16-11 Petition of JIM HOBACK FBO EQUIPMENT LEASING COMPANY, to rezone property located at 2005 EAST OLIVE STREET from M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to M-2 Heavy Industrial District. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: The subject site located at 2005 East Olive Street is currently zoned both M-2 Heavy Industrial District and M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District and consists of approximately 0.7 acres. The southern 1/3 of this site is zoned M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District with the northern 2/3 being zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial District. The petitioner proposes to rezone the southern 1/3 of the site from M-1 Intense CommerciaULight Industrial District to M-2 Heavy Industrial District to allow for all those uses permitted in the M-2 Heavy Industrial District. Rezoning the southern 1/3 of the site from M-1 Intense Commercial-Light Industrial District to M-2 Heavy Industrial District should not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority of the site is already zoned M-2 Heavy Industrial District. The adjacent zoning includes M-2 Heavy Industrial District to the north, M-1 Intense Commercial-Light Industrial District to the south and east, and R-5 Two Family Residence District to the west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Employment which is consistent with the M-2 Zoning District. The existing uses to the north, south, and east are compatible with the permitted uses in the M-2 Heavy Industrial District. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 16-11 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Jim Hoback, representative, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mr. Hoback said three-fourths of the property is zoned M-2 and the rest is M-1. They are asking to rezone the entire property to M-2. There were no questions and no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Frantz/Smith) to forward Calendar No. 16-11 to the City Council with a recommendation for approvaL Motion carried unanimously.
