Multiple zoning items and a recycling-center upgrade placed on county schedule for December

Loudon County Commission Workshop · November 18, 2025

Summary

At the Nov. 17 workshop commissioners heard several planning items — removal of a 'cluster option' zoning provision, a rezoning for an assisted-living facility on Chattooga Drive, and a roadway closure for Cove Lane — and were shown planned improvements to the Lenoir City convenience/recycling center; items a–c will be on Dec. 1 for formal consideration.

The Loudon County Commission workshop included several planning and infrastructure items that the commission directed staff to place on upcoming agendas.

Jim Jenkins presented three zoning-related items the planning commission recommended for action: (a) a resolution to amend the Loudon County zoning resolution by removing the cluster option development provision (Article 5, Section 5.45.d), (b) a rezoning from B-1 (suburban residential) to C-2 (general commercial) for tax map 68 parcels 24 and 24.08 on Chattooga Drive to allow an assisted-living facility (8- and 4-bed configurations were noted), and (c) a resolution closing the end of Cove Lane in the Lakeview subdivision. Jenkins said those items will be on the Dec. 1 commission agenda for formal consideration.

Separately, an official described planned improvements to the Lenoir City convenience/recycling center under a new lease with Norfolk Southern Railroad for roughly two acres, including a new 200-by-30-foot asphalt area, relocation of the recycling shed and additional compactors to reduce overflow and improve operations.

What’s next: items a, b and c were scheduled for the Dec. 1 meeting; the convenience-center improvements are an operational announcement and will proceed under the new lease and staff coordination.
