The highest and best use of this site is commercial. <br /> The adjacent zoning includes R-1 Single Family Residence District to the south and west and Macon County to the north and the <br /> Village of Long Creek to the east. The adjacent uses include single family residence to the north,commercial to the east and <br /> undeveloped/open space areas to the south and west. Although the Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this <br /> area as open space,the potential for continuation as open space/park is low as the Park District is no longer the owner of the <br /> property. A commercial use at this site located at this signalized intersection is an appropriate use for this property. The proposed <br /> zoning and permitted uses are compatible with adjacent uses. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: 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 Review Committee;Planning, <br /> Engineering and Fire. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan Stickle at 424-2786 or at sstickle@decaturil.gov. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance (�r�1 i nanrr <br /> supportingdocuments Ilarl.uE� Ntatrrial <br /> Minutes I;arl:u�� �latrrial <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=829 9/19/2016 <br />
