Council hears multiple rezoning requests; planning commission split on several
Summary
At its Feb. 27 meeting the Clarksville City Council heard presentations and council discussion on five separate rezoning requests ranging from a small R‑4 to R‑2A lot split to an 8.71‑acre request to M‑1 for a trucking operation; planning staff and the planning commission differed on several items and no final council votes were recorded.
The Clarksville City Council on Feb. 27 considered staff presentations and member discussion on five distinct rezoning applications, including two small-lot residential rezones, a request converting a mixed residential parcel to light industrial, and a mobile-home-to‑multifamily request. Council did not record final ordinance votes in the meeting transcript; each file remains at its procedural stage and will follow normal public hearing or ordinance-reading steps.
Rita Home Builders (planning case Z6‑2025) requested R‑4 to R‑2A on a 0.43‑acre remnant lot; staff recommended approval, arguing R‑2A would allow single‑family homes compatible with the lot’s size. Council members asked for the site picture to visualize a narrow frontage and noted the parcel is a remnant of a larger original lot.
Infinity Investments LLC sought R‑1 to R‑6 rezoning for a 0.45‑acre parcel on Hillsborough Road; staff said sidewalks and driveway spacing will be required and historical yield was estimated at six lots. Planning staff and several council members expressed concern that an internal zone change to R‑6 would be inconsistent with the subdivision’s existing pattern; the planning commission recommended disapproval and several council members signaled opposition.
Mike Greenfield’s application (planning case Z11‑2025) to change roughly 8.71 acres from split C‑5/R‑4 to M‑1 light industrial was presented with the applicant’s intent to relocate contractor buildings after a fire loss. Staff and the planning commission recommended approval, noting the tract’s frontage and an unimproved right-of-way and that the rear of the tract drops into a FEMA AE flood zone; staff said the floodplain forms a natural buffer to adjacent residential areas and that some of the property has been filled. Planning staff also noted Wall Branch is listed as an impaired stream.
Hunter Winn requested an R‑1A to R‑2A change for a 0.39‑acre lot on West Summerfield Drive to split one lot into two; staff recommended disapproval and the planning commission also recommended disapproval, noting the request reduces minimum lot size and could set a precedent for internal subdivision splits. Several council members disagreed with the staff’s precedent concern and said the lot dimensions were comparable to nearby parcels.
RL Home LLC sought an RM‑1 (mobile‑home) to R‑4 rezoning for a 0.35‑acre parcel on Bridal Springs Road and Center Road to allow a triplex; staff recommended approval and the planning commission recommended approval. Staff noted coordination will be necessary because the adjacent road is in Montgomery County rather than in the city, and the city plans a broader Britton Springs Road planning effort to study aging mobile‑home areas.
No formal votes on these ordinances were recorded in the meeting transcript; planning staff and the planning commission recommendations were cited and council members gave direction and asked clarifying questions for follow‑up.
