Commission defers Sears Road rezoning request, approves Chapmansboro Road change
Summary
Cheatham County commissioners deferred a rezoning request for a Sears Road parcel to allow more review and approved a separate rezoning on Chapmansboro Road; both items were heard June 30 during a public hearing.
The Cheatham County Commission on June 30 deferred a rezoning request for a parcel at 4531 Sears Road and approved a separate rezoning request on Chapmansboro Road.
At the start of the public hearing, residents spoke about Sears Road traffic and the potential subdivision of a parcel on Sears Road into two lots. Franklin Wilkinson, director of the Cheatham County Building Department, explained that E‑1 zoning requires a minimum lot size of 3 acres when public water is available and 5 acres without public water. Wilkinson said the applicant requested rezoning to R‑1 so a proposed new lot would be conforming rather than requiring a variance.
Commissioners voted to defer the Sears Road rezoning (Christian Dalton, Map 93 Parcel 10) for 30 days to allow further review. The motion to defer passed 10–2.
Separately, the commission approved a rezoning request filed by Bobby Hackett to change a parcel on Chapmansboro Road from C‑3 to Agriculture (Map 48 Parcel 13.05). The Chapmansboro property is located in a special flood hazard area; the commission approved the zoning change by roll call, 12–0.
