The City Plan Commission voted <br /> 8-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the May 4,2017 meeting;the minutes of the meeting are attached. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The subject site located in the 3900 Block of County Fair Drive is part of a larger parcel of land currently zoned R-1 Single Family <br /> Residence District and consists of approximately 0.55 acres of undeveloped land.It is located to the east of the Interstate 72 <br /> eastbound on ramp,north of Illinois Route 121. <br /> The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject site to allow for all those uses permitted in the M-1 Intense Commercial/Light <br /> Industrial District and create a larger development site that is zoned properly for a proposed development. <br /> Rezoning the subject site from R-1 Single Family Residence District to M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District should <br /> not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole. <br /> The adjacent zoning includes M-1 Intense Commercial/Light Industrial District to the south and west, and R-1 Single Family <br /> Residence District to the north and east. Much of the land that is immediately adjacent is already zoned M-1 Intense <br /> Commercial/Light industrial. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan does not show this area with a future land use <br /> type.It does address that there should be encouragement of employment uses adjacent to and near the Macon County Fairgrounds, <br /> one of several factors to be considered related to zoning decisions. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> The petition has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee;Planning,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 Ordinance <br /> Supporting Documentation Backup ivlatcrial <br /> https:Hdecatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=1167 6/20/2017 <br />
