The Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission is expected to discuss on Monday a proposal to rezone a lot off Vineville Avenue, which would allow an adjacent business to expand.

If approved, 164 Speer Ave. would be rezoned from a multi-family residential district to a general commercial district to allow Creative Yarns to expand, according to the commission’s staff report. The existing residential structure on the property “may be demolished due to its condition,” the report stated.

The primary land uses surrounding the site are residential. The 2035 Future Land Use Map recommends community commercial use along this area of Speer Avenue, the report states.

“Staff is of the opinion that the requested proposal is an appropriate compatible trend which would not adversely influence living conditions in the surrounding areas,” the report states. “In terms of quality of life, staff is of the opinion that the proposed (commercial) zoning district is appropriate in that it is not out of scale with the existing zoning trend.”

The meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. in the 10th floor conference room, Willie C. Hill City Hall Annex, 682 Cherry St.
