Woodfin council approves rezoning of 0.47 acres on Goodman Road to R‑10
Summary
The Town Council voted 4‑0 to rezone a 0.47‑acre parcel on Goodman Road from Mountain Village District to R‑10 residential district to allow a HUD/manufactured home placement, according to staff presentation and a unanimous council vote.
The Woodfin Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance Sept. 15 to rezone a 0.47‑acre parcel on Goodman Road from Mountain Village District to R‑10 residential district.
Planning staff presented a map showing the subject lot and surrounding zoning, noting adjacent Mountain Village zoning and nearby R‑10 development. Staff said the request would align the parcel with the existing pattern along Goodman Road and that electric transmission and other easements affect much of the western half of the lot.
The application, staff said, was owner‑initiated; the applicant told staff they planned to place a HUD/manufactured single‑wide home, a use allowed in R‑10 but not in Mountain Village. Planning staff reported no objections from nearby residents and said the Planning Board approved the rezoning 5‑0 on Aug. 12.
Motion and vote
A council member moved approval of rezoning the 0.47 acres from Mountain Village District to R‑10 residential district “as shown on exhibits A and B” and said the request was reasonable, in the public interest and consistent with the comprehensive plan. A second was recorded and the council voted in favor. The mayor counted four yes votes and declared the motion approved.
Why this matters
The rezoning reduces the formal lot requirements that apply under Mountain Village and applies R‑10 setbacks and development standards that staff said better match the existing detached single‑family pattern on Goodman Road. Council packets show nearby properties that already include a few manufactured homes and limited access to sewer, which staff said makes higher‑density uses inappropriate for the location.
