Commission recommends rezoning of 7391 Crowcut Road to R-20 (PC 15-25) amid engineering and access questions
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning request for 7391 Crowcut Road from RS-40 to R-20. Commissioners discussed developable acreage limits due to TVA easements, a creek and floodplain, and the applicant said the plan intends to connect to the adjacent Aden Woods subdivision rather than add an access on Crowcut Road.
The Fairview Planning Commission on April 8 voted to recommend rezoning the 19.96-acre parcel at 7391 Crowcut Road from RS-40 to R-20 (PC 15-25). Rob Molchan, representing the property owner Carla Langford, said the rezoning would allow minimum 20,000-square-foot lots similar to nearby Aden Woods and align the parcel’s zoning with surrounding properties.
Staff noted the property is classified as new residential medium in the Fairview Forward 2040 plan, which lists RS-40 and R-20 (with a PUD) among recommended zoning options. Commissioners questioned how the TVA power-line easement, a creek and floodplain would affect the developable acreage. Molchan and the applicant’s engineer said the easements and floodplain would reduce developable acreage substantially but that the developer intends to tie the new streets into Aden Woods rather than creating an entrance directly onto Crowcut Road.
Why it matters: Rezoning from RS-40 to R-20 would permit smaller minimum lot sizes and potentially increase density; staff and the applicant said actual lot counts will be determined during the development plan and site design process and could be constrained by the power-line easement and environmental buffers.
Vote and opposition: The commission recorded a favorable recommendation. The roll-call vote recorded one dissenting vote: Miss Williams voted No; all other commissioners voted Aye.
Next steps: The recommendation will go to the Board of Commissioners for consideration on May 1; a public hearing and second reading are tentatively scheduled for June 5.
