Excerpts from Plan Commission Meeting of May 4, 2017: Cal. No. 17-15 Petition of GUSSIE REED, to rezone property located at 1210 SOUTH JASPER STREET from R- 3 Single Family Residence District to B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. Ms. Stickle presented the recommendation of staff: 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. The eastern 1/3 of this site is zoned R-3 Single Family Residence District with the western 2/3 being zoned B-1 Neighborhood Shopping District. 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. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning. Section XXIX. of the City of Decatur Zoning Ordinance requires the Plan Commission to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request, and then forward its report and recommendation to the City Council for final approval. A motion to forward Calendar Number 17-15 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval is suggested. Mr. Kent Newton asked if this site was a separate lot. Ms. Stickle said yes, there are three (3) lots that make up the parcel. Ms. Stickle said she showed the individual lot on the map since the map only show the parcel lines and that lot is the only one not zoned property Mr. Jeremy Morris, representative, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. Mr. Morris stated this piece of property will be for future business use. The zoning needs to be changed in order to fit that need. There were no objectors present. It was moved and seconded (Newton/Frantz) to forward Calendar No. 17-15 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. Motion carried unanimously.
