DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 16-24 <br /> June 10, 2016 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe and City Council <br /> FROM: Tim Gleason, City Manager <br /> Billy Tyus, Assistant City Manager <br /> Suzan Stickle, Senior Planner <br /> SUBJECT: Rezone 2721 North 22nd Street from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to B-2 <br /> Commercial District <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to B-2 <br /> Commercial District. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of this petition <br /> at the June 2, 2016 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: The subject site located at 2721 North 22°d Street is currently zoned B-1 <br /> Neighborhood Shopping District and consists of approximately 8,500 square feet. <br /> The site has a small two story commercial structure as well as a parking lot. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to B-2 Commercial <br /> District that would allow for all those uses permitted in the B-2 District. <br /> Rezoning the site from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to B-2 Commercial District should <br /> not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as the uses on the <br /> adjacent properties are compatible with the permitted uses of the B-2 Commercial District. <br /> The adjacent zoning includes B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to the south and west and M-2 <br /> Heavy Industrial District to the north and east. Though not immediately adjacent, there is also <br /> considerable B-2 zoning in the near west and south. The B-2 Commercial District is consistent <br /> with the intent of the Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan which shows this area as <br /> Retail. The proposed zoning and permitted uses are compatible with the adjacent uses and zoning <br /> districts. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The petition has been reviewed by the City's Technical <br /> Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan Stickle at 424-2786 <br /> or at sstickle@decaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br />
