The City Plan Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the May 4,2017 meeting;the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: The subject site located at 1210 South Jasper Street is currently zoned both B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and R-3 Single Family Residence District and consists of approximately 18,000 square feet. The eastern lot to be rezoned of this site is approximately 6,000 square feet. There is a commercial structure, an accessory structure as well as a parking lot to accommodate the commercial structure on the subject site. The petitioner proposes to rezone the eastern 1/3 of the site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to allow for all those uses permitted in the B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and create a consistent zoning district on site. Rezoning the eastern 1/3 of the site from R-3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District should not create any adverse effects on the adjacent properties or the City as a whole as a majority of the site is already zoned B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District and the eastern lot has been used for a parking lot and accessory structure for some years. The adjacent zoning includes B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District to the south and west, and R-3 Single Family Residence District to the north and east. The Macon County and Decatur Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Retail which is consistent with the B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. The existing uses to the south and west are compatible with the permitted uses in the B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The petition has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee;Planning,Engineering and Fire. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Suzan Stickle at 424-2786 or at sstickle@decaturil.gov. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Ordinance Ordinance https://decatur.novusagenda.com/AgendaWeb/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=1164 6/20/2017
