Wilkerson LAND USE AND ZONING Direction Existing Land Use Zoning Comprehensive Plan Subject Property Industrial/Commercial B-2 Retail North Industrial/Commercial M-1 Employment South School R-1 Schools East Single Family Residential R-1 Residential-Low Density West Industrial/Commercial M-1 County I Retail BACKGROUND 1. The subject site is approximately 0.75 acres and is located at 1930 South Taylorville Road. The subject site is a mix of commercial and industrial uses. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. The petitioner proposes to rezone from B-2 Commercial District to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District which would allow for all those uses permitted in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District. STAFF ANALYSIS 1. The surrounding zoning includes M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to the north and west and R-1 Single Family Residence District to the south and east. There is significant M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District in the area along South Taylorville Road. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Retail. The permitted uses in the M- 1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District are compatible with retail as shown in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning is compatible with adjacent uses to the north and west with a mix of industrial and commercial uses present. 2. South Taylorville Road is a well-traveled state route in the City. A more intensive zoning district fronting this state route is appropriate for the site as it is compatible with the other districts and uses along the route.
