Dickson County planning panel approves rezoning for self‑storage site on Highway 49
Summary
The Dickson County Planning Commission voted to rezone a 5‑acre parcel on Highway 49 from A‑1 agricultural to C‑1 rural center so Paul Lovell can pursue a self‑storage facility; the applicant must return with a site plan before development.
The Dickson County Planning Commission on Jan. 9 approved rezoning a 5.00‑acre parcel on Highway 49 in Charlotte from A‑1 (agricultural) to C‑1 (rural center) to allow a proposed self‑storage business.
The vote followed a brief presentation and a motion by Commissioner Todd Lindsey, seconded by Commissioner Jeff Chase. The roll call was unanimous among commissioners voting: Todd Berry, Darren Green, Todd Lindsey, Robert Kalls, Tommy Brown, Jeff Chase, Shane Chandler, Gary Peeler, Patrick Reagan and Chairman Mitchell Hardin voted yes; the motion carried.
The rezoning applies to Tax Map 40, Parcel 44.07. Applicant Paul Lovell attended the meeting and described development plans, saying his initial build would be a “first section” of storage units with possible later additions. Lovell told commissioners, “I’m trying to do something to leave behind my divorce,” explaining the personal motivation behind the project.
County staff and commissioners clarified that approval at this meeting was only for the zoning change. Planning staff said the applicant must submit a site plan and obtain any required building permits and approvals before construction. Commissioner discussion noted that parcels across State Highway 49 already include C‑1 and C‑2 zoning, and several commissioners described the rezoning request as consistent with nearby commercial parcels.
No members of the public registered to speak on the item. Commissioners did not raise objections to the rezoning itself but reiterated that the site‑plan review process remains required and could limit what is ultimately built on the property.
The commission’s approval of the rezoning means the applicant may proceed to the required administrative and permitting steps; any future changes beyond the approved site plan would have to return to the commission or appropriate administrative review.
