Commission authorizes administrative approval of minor final plats under TCA 13-3-402

Sep 21, 2026

The commission authorized county staff to administratively approve certain final plats (minor plats) consistent with TCA 13-3-402, allowing staff to approve smaller final plats without returning to the full planning commission while retaining reporting and mechanisms to return items if issues arise.

The full story

Commissioners approved Resolution 2609-15 to authorize administrative approval of certain final subdivision plats in accordance with TCA 13-3-402. The change permits county planning staff to administratively approve final plats of up to the statutorily allowed number of lots (the resolution and state code set thresholds) and requires staff to report such approvals monthly to the planning commission for transparency.
