Commission approves rezoning request for Sams Creek Road property
Summary
The Cheatham County Commission approved a rezoning from agricultural to R‑1 for a 1.56‑acre portion of Map 74, Parcel 14.06 at 1560 Sams Creek Road, 11–0 with one absent.
The Cheatham County Commission on May 19 voted to rezone a 1.56‑acre portion of Map 74, Parcel 14.06 at 1560 Sams Creek Road from agricultural to R‑1 zoning.
The request was made by property owners John and Debbie Harder. Franklin Wilkinson, director of the Cheatham County Building Department, presented the item and confirmed the property is located in the Fifth Voting District and is not in a special flood hazard area.
Commissioner Diana Lovell moved to approve the rezoning; Commissioner Eugene Evans seconded. The commission approved the motion on a roll call vote of 11–0 with one member absent. Wilkinson said the county planning body had considered the request and did not make a recommendation; the planning body characterized the request as a potential spot zone.
Commission discussion included a brief explanation of the difference between R‑1 and E‑1 zoning: R‑1 allows a one‑acre minimum lot size and prohibits agricultural uses; E‑1 allows a three‑acre minimum and permits agricultural uses. The commission recorded the vote at the public hearing portion of the meeting; no members of the public spoke for or against the rezoning during the hearing.
The zoning change affects the specified 1.56‑acre portion; the commission did not specify any additional conditions in the motion.
