The Cheatham County Commission convened on June 30, 2025, to address several zoning requests and budgetary matters. The meeting began with a request from Christian Dalton for a zone change from E-1 to R-1 for a property located at 4531 Sears Road. The proposal aims to allow the division of the parcel into two conforming lots. The commission discussed the implications of the zoning change, noting that the property is not in a special flood hazard area and is currently conforming due to its size exceeding three acres. After deliberation, a motion was made to defer the decision for 30 days, which passed with a vote of 10 in favor and 2 against.

Following this, Bobby Hackett requested a zone change from C-3 to Agriculture for a property on Chapmansboro Road. This area is designated as a special flood hazard zone. The commission unanimously approved this request with a vote of 12-0.

The meeting then shifted to budget discussions. A motion was made to approve the county budgets, including the school budgets, which was also passed with a majority vote. However, there were some dissenting opinions regarding the fire tax levy, with a vote of 9 in favor and 3 against.

Overall, the meeting addressed significant zoning changes and budget approvals, with the commission demonstrating a methodical approach to each agenda item. The next steps include further discussions on the deferred zoning request and continued oversight of the approved budgets.
