GOING INTO PUBLIC HEARING ITEM ON NUMBER THREE.

TIME NOW IS 5:34.

CHERYL. OKAY.

GREG HALL, ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF DECATUR TO AMEND ZONING MAP SF2.

SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO A C2 THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 20.68 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED AT 3300 BENNETT ROAD.

IT'S ACTUALLY THE DECATUR WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN.

[00:05:03]

THE ZONING CHANGE TO THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS C-2 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT DECATUR 2050 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE MAP.

THE LAND DESIGNATION ON PROPERTY IS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PSLI WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE C-2 THOROUGHFARE BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT. THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES LIGHT INDUSTRIAL IS CHARACTERIZED BY FREESTANDING BUILDINGS CONTAINING USES SUCH AS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OR OFFICE JOBS.

BUILDINGS MAY VARY IN SIZE, BUT ARE TYPICALLY SET BACK FROM THE ROAD, AND THE USES DO NOT RELY ON PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.

THUS, THERE IS GENERALLY LITTLE OR NO CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN ADJACENT BUSINESSES.

USES IN THIS PLACE TYPE MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH RESIDENTIAL AND MAY REQUIRE SOME LEVEL OF TRANSITIONAL AREA OR SCREENING FROM SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.

AND THERE'S THE PRIMARY LAND USE AND THE SECONDARY LAND USE.

AND BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT CAN OCCUR, THE APPLICANT WILL NEED TO SUBMIT BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATIONS.

AND THE MAPS ARE THERE.

THE EXISTING LAND USE WHICH IS THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PSLI THE EXISTING ZONING IS SF TWO.

AND I THINK I HAVE THE WRONG MAP THEY GAVE ME, BUT THAT SHOULD BE READ.

THERE. I WILL FIX THAT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.

OKAY, THAT SHOULD ALL BE READ, AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF CC 2020 404.

THANK YOU. CHERYL, DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS AGENDA ITEM? DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ONLINE? HEARING NOTHING, THEN I'M GOING TO CLOSE THIS MEETING.

IT IS NOW 5:37.

COMMISSIONERS, ANY QUESTIONS? I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THE NEW CARPORT ORDINANCE IS IN PLACE AND IF WOULD IT APPLY OR IF IT'S NOT IN PLACE YET.

THE ONE THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT AND DISCUSSING FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

NOT IN. I DIDN'T THINK SO.

WE ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT'S THE SPECIAL MEETING THAT'S COMING UP, WILL BE DISCUSSING NEXT WEEK SOME OF THE ISSUES OR WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CARPORTS.

THIS PARTICULAR ZONE CHANGE FIXES THAT BECAUSE CARPORTS AREN'T ALLOWED IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

HOWEVER, THEY ARE ALLOWED IN COMMERCIAL.

OH, INTERESTING. ZONE CHANGE FIXES THAT, SO, THERE'S NOT AN ISSUE.

OKAY. OKAY.

ANYWAY, I'M SORRY.

PROBABLY SHOULD BE ZONED C2.

OH, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

NOT INDUSTRIAL, I MEAN.

YEAH, YEAH. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WILL THE POTENTIAL ZONING CHANGE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CARPORTS TRIGGER THE CURB AND GUTTER? DILEMMA. I DON'T KNOW IF CURB AND GUTTER WAS PUT IN PLACE ON THAT.

THE PROPERTY WAS REPLATED A FEW YEARS AGO.

IT WAS PLATTED. AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THEY PUT THE NEW BUILDING IN THERE FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT, WHICH THEY WILL BE BUILDING, THEY WILL DO IT THEN.

AND THAT WAS APPROVED AT THAT TIME.

OKAY. I DO REMEMBER WE GRANTED AN EXEMPTION.

ANY OTHERS? HEARING NONE.

I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

I'LL RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

OKAY. I'VE GOT A COMMISSIONER TERRY BERUBE TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

I NEED A SECOND.

SECOND. I'VE GOT A, I GOT A SECOND FROM COMMISSIONER JOHN LANIER.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE. THOSE OPPOSED.

SO, THE BUILDING ALREADY EXISTS THEN IS WHAT.

NO, THERE BUILDING, THE BUILDING THERE.

IT IS OKAY FROM THERE.

WE DID CLEAR THE CALENDAR FOR JULY 30TH FOR TUESDAY FOR YOU TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING TO MEET THE 30-DAY SHOT CLOCK. DO WE EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE TO BE ON THAT AGENDA ON THE THIRD? I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL FROM MR. BOYD, AND HE SAID THEY PLAN TO HAVE EVERYTHING IN PLACE BY THEN, BUT THEY'RE AT THE MERCY OF [INAUDIBLE].

IS THERE ANY OTHER REASON FOR HOLDING THAT MEETING? JUST THE GAS? JUST THE GAS LINE AND LINK AGREEMENT.

I THINK WE'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT ON THAT.

DOESN'T BOTHER ME IF WE GO ON INDEFINITELY.

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

YES, THEY ARE PREVIOUSLY ONLY ALLOWED ONE 30-DAY EXTENSION REQUEST AND IT WAS AMENDED LAST SESSION.

SO, THERE'S REALLY, THEY CAN ASK FOR THEM AS MANY TIMES AS THEY NEED THEM.

I THINK I BASICALLY GOT THE GIST OF THAT.

YES. YES.

THEY HAVE TO ASK FOR THEM WRITING.
