Commission approves final plat and replat for two Decatur sites after clarification on lot configuration

The Decatur Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend city council approval of two consent- agenda plats: Final Plat FP25-0006 for Decatur Office Village at 1801 South Trinity, and Replat RP25-0011 for 100 South Washburn.

Lisa Hannon, planning director, presented both items and said the station (1801 S. Trinity) is under construction and the replat area is largely vacant or nearly vacant. Commissioners asked whether the platting would allow individual buildings to be sold separately and whether required setbacks would be enforced between potential future lots.

Staff clarified that the filings bring multiple pieces back into a single lot (the platting is intended to combine the parcels into one lot), and that any future subdivision that created separate lots with buildings across lot lines would need to satisfy setback and variance requirements. After that clarification Commissioner Will Clossey moved to recommend approval of FP25-0006; Commissioner Terry Veruby seconded and the motion carried on an aye vote. For RP25-0011 Commissioner Will Clossey moved and Commissioner John Lanier seconded; that motion also carried on an aye vote.

The commission approved both consent items as recommendations to city council; final plat approvals and any resulting lot divisions will be subject to the city’s subdivision and setback rules and any necessary variance processes.
