Board approves special exception for new temple at 7647 Sawyer Brown Road on consent
Summary
The Metro Nashville Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special exception for construction of a new temple at 7647 Sawyer Brown Road (case 2025‑87) on the consent agenda. No members of the public opposed the request at the meeting.
The Metro Nashville Board of Zoning Appeals approved a special exception for construction of a new temple at 7647 Sawyer Brown Road during its Sept. 4, 2025 meeting, the board chair announced after placing the item on the consent agenda.
Board staff identified the request as case 2025‑87. The application lists Anthony Snyder, P.E., as the appellant and the Southeastern Sikh Religious Society as the property owner. According to staff, the request is a special exception to allow construction of a new temple on the site. No members of the public indicated opposition when the case was called, and the chair recommended the item for consent approval.
Board staff told the room that after approval the applicant may follow up with the codes department beginning Monday to begin permit processing.
The BZA opened and closed the public hearing on the item without discussion. The board’s authority to act in hearings like this was cited by staff as Section 17‑41‑80 of the Metro code. The meeting record does not show a roll-call vote for this consent approval; staff stated the case was approved on the consent agenda and authorized follow-up with permitting staff.
Because the item was taken on consent and no opposition spoke, the board did not place conditions on the approval at the meeting.
