Page 2 of 2 <br /> 2504-26a4 Blocks of South Business Route S 1 and 900 Block of West Grove Road <br /> October 6,2016 <br /> STAFF ANALYSTS <br /> l. Rezoning the sites from B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District, R-6 Muitiple Dwelling District and <br /> R-5 Two Family Residence District to B-2 Commercial District should not create any adverse <br /> effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority of the adjacent area is zoned <br /> B-2 Commezcial District and has been zoned as such for more than 3U years. <br /> 2. The adjacent zoning includes R-5 Two Faxnily Residence District and R-6 Multiple Dwelling <br /> District to the north and east. B-2 Commercial District to the soutk�and west. The Macon Couxity <br /> and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows th�is area as Residential-Low Density,however, Staffis of <br /> the opinion that rezoning these portions of the larger,approximately 23.8 acre,parcel is consistent <br /> with a decision by the City Council to rezane the property to B-2 Com�mercial District more than <br /> 30 years ago. The uses permitted in the B-2 Commercial District are compatible with being Iocated <br /> at the cornex of large intersection being Sauth Business Ronte 51 and West Grove Road. The <br /> existing districts to the south and r�est are compatible with the B-2 Commercial District. <br /> STAFF RECOMMENDATI4N <br /> 1.
