Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of October 6, 2016: <br /> Cal. No. 16=41 <br /> Petition of Iroquois, LLC, to rezone property <br /> located in the 2500-2600 Blocks of South <br /> Business Route 51 and the 900 Block of <br /> West Grove Road from B-1 Neighborhood <br /> Shopping District, R-6 Multiple Dwelling <br /> District, R-1 Two Family Residence District <br /> to B-2 Commercial District <br />' Mr. Billy Tyus was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> The subject sites located in the 2500-2600 Blocks of South Business Route 51 and the <br /> 900 Block of West Grove Road are currentl zoned B-1 Nei hborhood Sho in District, <br /> Y g pp g <br /> R-6 Multiple Dwelling District and R-5 Two Family Residence District, in total, the sites <br /> consist of approximately 5 acres. <br /> These subject sites are smaller portions of a much larger parcel located at the Northeast <br /> corner of South Business Route 51 and West Grove Road. The majority of the <br /> approximately 23.8 acres is currently zoned B-2 Commercial District. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject sites from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping <br /> District, R-6 Multiple Dwelling District and R-5 Two Family Residence District to B-2 <br /> Commercial District that would allow for all those uses permitted in the B-2 Commercial <br /> District and allow for the entire parcel to be located in the same zoning district. <br /> Rezoning the sites from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District, R-6 Multiple Dwelling <br /> District and R-5 Two Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District should not <br /> create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority <br /> of the adjacent area is zoned B-2 Commercial District and has been zoned as such for <br /> more than 30 years. <br /> The adjacent zoning includes R-5 Two Family Residence District and R-6 Multiple <br /> Dwelling District to the north and east. B-2 Commercial District to the south and west. <br /> The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Residential-Low <br /> Density, however, Staff is of the opinion that rezoning these portions of the larger, <br /> approximately 23.8 acre, parcel is consistent with a decision by the City Council to <br /> rezone the property to B-2 Commercial District more than 30 years ago. The uses <br /> permitted in the B-2 Commercial District are compatible with being located at the corner <br /> of large intersection being South Business Route 51 and West Grove Road. The existing <br /> districts to the south and west are compatible with the B-2 Commercial District. <br /> Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to <br /> hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and <br />
