Rezoning request for 2202 Old Greenback Road described as not recommended by planning commission
Summary
At the Sept. 15 workshop, staff described a rezoning application for tax map 27 parcel 81 at 2202 Old Greenback Road; the planning commission did not recommend approval and commissioners discussed access and road-frontage issues that would affect any subdivision.
Jim Jenkins presented information at the Sept. 15 Loudon County Commission workshop on a rezoning request affecting tax map 27, parcel 81, at 2202 Old Greenback Road.
“This is a resolution of the zoning map of Lyda County, Tennessee… changing from a rural residential district to a developing agricultural district,” Jenkins said, reading the item as printed for the commission and noting that the planning commission did not recommend approval.
Jenkins said the parcel is just under 4 acres and that the deed references an unnamed or unaccepted road used as a platted easement for access. He said the commission would likely need a variance from the zoning resolution to permit a subdivision because the lot lacks county road frontage; granting a rezoning would not, by itself, allow subdivision without that additional variance.
Commission members asked questions about acreage and road maintenance. Jenkins said the community maintains a gravel right-of-way used for access and that the lack of county-accepted road frontage was the commission’s primary concern.
No formal vote on the rezoning was recorded at the workshop; the item was placed on the commission’s forthcoming meeting agenda for further consideration. Jenkins told commissioners the matter would appear on the Oct. 6 commission meeting agenda.
Authority cited in the workshop remarks included a reading of a state-code reference as printed on the agenda: “pursuant to chapter 7 13 dash 7 dash 1 0 5 Tennessee code annotated,” per the transcript.
The planning commission’s lack of a recommendation and the absence of county road frontage were noted as the main substantive impediments to any immediate subdivision action.
