' <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject sites located in the 2500-2600 Blocks of South Business Route 51 and the 900 Block of West Grove Road are <br /> currently zoned B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District,R-6 Multiple Dwelling District and R-5 Two Family Residence District. <br /> In total, the sites consist of approximately 5 acres and 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 approximately 23.8 acres is currently zoned B-2 <br /> Commercial District. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject sites from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District, R-6 Multiple Dwelling District <br /> and R-5 Two Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District that would allow for all those uses permitted in the B-2 <br /> Commercial District and allow for the entire parcel to be located in the same zoning district. Rezoning the sites from B-1 <br /> Neighborhood Shopping District, R-6 Multiple Dwelling District and R-5 Two Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial <br /> District should not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority of the adjacent area <br /> is zoned B-2 Commercial District and has been zoned as such for more than 30 years. <br /> The adjacent zoning includes R-5 Two Family Residence District and R-6 Multiple Dwelling District to the north and east and <br /> B-2 Commercial District to the south and west. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as <br /> Residential-Low Density, however, Staff is of the opinion that rezoning these portions of the larger,approximately 23.8 acre, <br /> parcel is consistent with a decision by the City Council to rezone the property to B-2 Commercial District more than 30 years <br /> ago. The uses permitted in the B-2 Commercial District are compatible with being located at the corner of large intersection <br /> being South Business Route 51 and West Grove Road. The existing districts to the south and west are compatible with the B-2 <br /> Commercial District. <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: Please contact Suzy Stickle at 217-424-2786 or sstickle@decaturil.gov for more information. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance ()r�liiiance <br /> Supporting Documentation 13ackup l�latcrial <br /> Minutes l3ackuE� l�latcrial <br /> https://decatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=870 10/17/2016 <br />
