The property is located on McLaughlin Drive near its intersection with U.S. Highway 51 South. The property can be further identified as Parcel 12.06 on Tipton County Tax Map 111. The property is zoned P-B (Planned Business) District. The properties do not appear to be located in a federally identified flood hazard area. Analysis The new lot meets the lot area and setback requirements for the P-B District. The Plat has the necessary certificates for approval. The lots have two spaces that are 50 feet wide to allow for potential access for future development. Recommendation Staff recommends approval plat. 2 B. Michael O’Brien Rezoning Request Background A rezoning request has been submitted on behalf of Michael O’Brien. The property is located near 14967 U.S. Highway 51 South. The property can be further identified as Parcel 71.00 on Tipton County Tax Map 127. The rezoning request is to rezone the parcel from R-1 (Low Density Residential) District to P-B (Planned Business) District. The property does not appear to be located in a federally identified flood hazard area. Analysis The property has adjacent P-B zoning to the northeast of the parcel. Commercial areas benefit from access to arterial streets. U.S. Highway 51 is an arterial street on the Munford Major Road Plan. The Munford Future Land Use Map designates the area as Commercial. The parcel has enough depth that future construction should be able to comply with the Planned Business setbacks. (50 feet front, 20 rear, and 15 side) Recommendation Staff recommends in favor of the rezoning request due to the adjacent PB zoning and its location on an arterial street. C.
