MEMO:	No. 20-04
TO:	Honorable Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe and City Council
FROM:	Scot Wrighton, City Manager Richelle D. Irons, Interim Community Development Director Joselyn Stewart, Planner

SUBJECT: Ordinance Rezoning Property from B-2 Commercial District to R-3 Single Family Residence District at 3434 East Wabash Avenue

SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of this ordinance for re-zoning. The City Plan Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the petition at the January 2, 2020 meeting. The minutes of the meeting are attached.

BACKGROUND:

The subject site located at 3434 East Wabash Avenue is currently zoned B-2 Commercial District. It consists of approximately 0.65 acres and is currently developed with a church.

The petitioner proposes to rezone the subject site from B-2 Commercial District to R-3 Single Family Residence District with the intent to construct an addition to their existing church. The proposed addition will be 2,000 square feet. A preliminary Site Plan is not required for a straight rezoning request such as the current petition and was not submitted.

The subject site is located within a mixed-use area and down-zoning to R-3 Single Family Residence District should have no adverse effect on the general area or the City.

For further details, please refer to the attached Plan Commission staff report.

POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: No objectors spoke 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 Joselyn Stewart (jstewart@decaturil.gov) or Richelle D. Irons (rirons@decaturil.gov).

BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None
