The commission also voted to table an earlier agenda item when an applicant was not present.

Why this matters: the budget amendment allocates unbudgeted expenditures and grant funding; the rezonings change land-use designations and permit proposed housing developments; the proclamation recognizes dispatch staff; and the special-event permit authorizes beer vending at city-sponsored events.

Key votes and outcomes

- Consent agenda (minutes and four routine resolutions including audit and service agreements): Approved; vote recorded as unanimous (5-0).

- Ordinance 25-1275 (fiscal year 2025 budget amendment, first reading): Motion to appropriate $376,615.50 to the general fund and $232,000 to the solid waste fund — passed on first reading, unanimous (Mayor Stephanie Dalton; Vice Mayor Holly Berry; Commissioner Jamie Fairbanks Harvey; Commissioner Terry Holmes; Commissioner Hayes Wilkinson voted yes).

- Ordinance 25-1276 (rezoning 309 Midvale Avenue), Ordinance 25-1277 (rezoning 313 Midvale Avenue), Ordinance 25-1278 (rezoning 1109 Dayton Boulevard): Each approved on first reading after ministerial amendments to correct applicant names and add owner signature lines; all recorded as unanimous (5-0).

- Resolution 25-17-84 (proclaiming April 2025 as National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week): Approved unanimously (5-0); staff reported Hamilton County telecommunicators directed 14,067 calls to Red Bank first responders in 2024.

- Beer board special event permit (Clever Ale House LLC / Jeff Schwenke): Approved for specified city events at Red Bank City Park; vote recorded as unanimous.

- Motion to table an earlier agenda item when the applicant had not arrived: Motion carried (unanimous).

Several motions listed specific movers and seconders in the record (for example, the motion to table was made by Vice Mayor Holly Berry and seconded by Commissioner Jamie Fairbanks Harvey). Many votes were called without recorded roll-call dissent.

What happens next: ordinances approved on first reading will return for second readings; applicants with rezoning approvals must file required variance petitions and satisfy county-level reviews before final municipal approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4/1/2025 Regular Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Red Bank Board of Commissioners on April 1 approved a budget amendment on first reading, three rezonings on first reading, a proclamation, and a special-event beer permit; the panel also approved its consent agenda and tabled one item until the applicant arrived.","taxTitle","Red Bank, Hamilton County, Tennessee","taxId",71190,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6092566,"Commissioners approve first-reading rezonings for Midvale and Dayton Boulevard housing projects",686,934000,1620000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2852862-a0c633910726795751e4580a424b7c80&start=934&end=1620","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2852862-a0c633910726795751e4580a424b7c80/thumbnail_934000.jpg","/articles/6092566/Red-Bank/Hamilton-County/Tennessee/Commissioners-approve-first-reading-rezonings-for-Midvale-and-Dayton-Boulevard-housing-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6092566-24610d4abb31592681309186e426849a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149547&Signature=V-y7OEwIeYOVL06zZZfwgl29yuwVlynT6BMvGAfvQa0Kj49kJFxVxbjUPxeKJxQwDdJ9ZK9DkljibWqXJEdm~XF2sYmGYoWwB1R2kPL-pCB5HdzPcwkwTGK0cPiYWKtkLfWuHBnXigs~Asna2m2mhcGy~zbnjFb6xG-NuxPLS7T9lwfBZuPeXilJ58SoEA-JFnRsWPH98CSiiuKbZxx5NiCy4LGE6t6kwsPCWKrr6vaVm09lebgpGCnGG8yqgCUpPabQEfgWLY~pRveufpNAf4BkSDlu0yKHLYOv~lYeTYz4cTyeJXDX1ORwBPl4TDQixRsWSvUgpWozxmCPYkSVjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners in Red Bank on April 1 approved on first reading separate rezoning requests for two Midvale Avenue properties and for a Dayton Boulevard site, clearing initial municipal hurdles for three new housing projects.

The rezonings matter because they change allowable uses and trigger site-specific reviews and variances that affect neighborhood character, traffic and stormwater management.

Planning staff told the commission the Midvale rezonings (309 and 313 Midvale Avenue) would allow the two lots to be subdivided and developed into six single-family detached houses. \"The rezonings for 309 and 313 Midvale are being requested in order to subdivide and construct 6 single family detached houses,\" planning staff said. The project will require steep-slope stabilization plans and a 10-foot landscape buffer where it abuts existing R1 properties. Staff said the subdivision will include a detention pond at the low point of the site and that, because multiple lots are proposed, plans must be approved by Hamilton County Water Quality. The planning commission recommended approval unanimously. The commission amended the ordinance language to correct the applicant name to Ingram Gordon and Associates and to add an owner-signature line; the rezoning passed on first reading with a unanimous vote.

On Dayton Boulevard, the applicant for 1109 Dayton Boulevard presented a proposal to rezone a commercially zoned parcel to allow a 28-unit townhome development with a pool and off-street parking. Planning staff said C3 zoning would permit townhomes while the parcel's existing C1 classification would not. Applicant Mike Price of MAP Engineers said the plan had evolved from earlier concepts for larger apartment counts and that the current submission reflects market conditions and a for-sale townhome product. \"We basically came back with 28 townhomes for sale,\" Price said. The proposed site plan will require variances, including a requested building separation reduction from 20 feet to as little as 4 feet, 7 inches, and minimum-square-footage exceptions for some units. The planning commission unanimously recommended the rezoning; the city commission approved it on first reading after amending the ordinance to list the correct applicant and add an owner signature line.

No members of the public spoke during the three public hearings. Commissioners emphasized that further approvals are required: variances must be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals, and county-level approvals (including Hamilton County Water Quality) are required for stormwater/detention work. Several commissioners also noted traffic and water concerns reported to planning staff in the planning commission record.

Next steps include the applicants filing formal variance petitions where needed and returning to the commission for final (second) readings once variances and any plan adjustments are resolved.

The resident, who gave his name and address at the podium, said he had no objection to paying fair taxes but was unsure how the county arrived at its figure. He said that when he used the county's sales.hamiltontn.gov comparison tool, choosing different sales comps produced markedly different estimated values and that using what he believed were the most similar comparables produced a lower estimate than the county's reassessment. \"My home's assessment increased by 51%. ... I have to intentionally pick what I believe are less comparable properties in square footage, build date, and stories to achieve as high of an appraisal as the county,\" the resident said.

The resident urged clearer guidance from the Hamilton County Property Assessor's Office on how the sales comps were selected and how the county used them to calculate reassessed values. The mayor noted that reassessment letters include appeal deadlines and the county assessor's contact phone number and website.

No action was taken by the commission; the comment was part of the public comment period. The resident was advised that appeal instructions and deadlines are included with reassessment notices and that the assessor's office can be contacted directly for questions.","A Red Bank resident speaking at the April 1 commission meeting said his home's assessed value rose 51% and described difficulty reproducing the county's valuation using the county's public tool, urging clearer methodology and guidance.","actionData","errors"]
