The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to approve five items on its consent agenda at the Dec. meeting after the chair and staff recommended those cases for routine approval.

Joey Hargis, Metro zoning administrator, read the consent items — cases 2025‑111, 2025‑136, 2025‑138, 2025‑141 and 2025‑142 — noting the chair had reviewed each and found that testimony would not alter the material facts. A board member moved to approve the consent agenda and the motion was seconded and adopted.

The items included routine requests such as variances for fence height, street setbacks and a special exception for a church addition. Hargis told parties present for those cases they had been approved and were free to leave, while they could also stay for the remainder of the hearing.

Materials for each case are part of the public record; applicants approved on the consent agenda must still obtain any required building or other departmental permits before construction can continue.
