Robertson County approves three rezonings after unanimous planning recommendation
Summary
The Robertson County Commission approved three rezoning requests April 20—two for residential (RP-80) and one to commercial (C-1)—after the planning commission recommended each 5–0. Commissioners recorded roll-call tallies for each measure.
The Robertson County Commission on April 20 approved three separate rezoning requests after the Planning Commission recommended each one unanimously.
Each rezoning was introduced during the commission’s public hearing on zoning and drew no registered public opposition. Planning staff reported a 5–0 recommendation for each item from the Planning Commission.
The first, Resolution 042125022, was a request from Melvin Norfleet Jr. to rezone 1.87 acres of a 19.12-acre surveyed parcel at 4938 Starks Road from AG-2 (agricultural) to RP-80 (residential). Commissioner Bobby Capps moved the measure and Commissioner Roberts seconded it; the clerk recorded the vote as 19 yes, 4 no, 0 abstain and the rezoning passed.
The second, Resolution 042125023, was a request by R3 Properties to rezone 2 acres of a 14.407-acre surveyed parcel at 2746 Kings Road from AG-2 to RP-80. That measure also carried after a motion and second; the clerk recorded the vote as 19 yes, 4 no, 0 abstain.
The third, Resolution 042125024, was a request by Reshami Saravaria to rezone about 4.97 acres (the Tennessee portion of a 6.04-acre surveyed tract) at 6247 Lake Springs Road from AG-2 to C-1 (commercial). During the public hearing a representative explained the proposed use as a small commercial service to support workers in the nearby industrial park and said a water study indicated the line would need upgrading from the current 3-inch domestic line to a 6-inch line to serve commercial use and any fire-suppression requirements. The planning staff advised the owner would be required to upgrade the water line and meet any hydrant or fire-suppression standards at the site-plan stage. That rezoning passed on a recorded vote of 19 yes, 4 no, 0 abstain.
Why it matters: zoning changes alter permitted land uses and can require public-utility upgrades and site-plan review before development can proceed. For the Lake Springs Road parcel, county staff said a water-line upgrade and any hydrant/fire-suppression work would be required before commercial development could begin.
The commission closed the hearing after no members of the public signed up to speak on the items and returned the measures to the commission for final action.
