Applicant withdraws rezoning request for Faulkner Road property after neighborhood opposition
Summary
An applicant withdrew a request to rezone 0.68 acres at 2610 Faulkner Road from A‑1 to R‑3 to allow conversion of a single family dwelling into three residential units after staff recommended denial and planning commission failed to approve the rezoning.
An applicant withdrew a rezoning request for a property at 2610 Faulkner Road that sought to change zoning from A‑1 (agricultural) to R‑3 (multifamily residential) to allow up to three residential units in an existing dwelling.
Brian Schultz, planning staff, told commissioners the request covered 0.68 acres and proposed three residential units, a density the staff calculated at about 4.3 dwelling units per acre. Schultz said staff recommended denial because the site is surrounded primarily by single‑family homes and the request was not compatible with the Hixson North River plan, which recommends low‑density residential uses.
Schultz said the planning commission agreed with staff and failed to approve the request. The applicant, Dean McLeod, came to the meeting and told the commission he wished to withdraw the application and “leave this property as a single use or detached family home.” The county attorney confirmed the case would be pulled from the next week’s agenda and removed from consideration.
Because the applicant withdrew the rezoning, no final zoning action was taken by the commission in the provided transcript.
