Commission backs McCreary Road commercial rezoning, ties approval to master-plan infrastructure
Summary
The planning commission approved a land-use amendment and rezoning on McCreary Road to allow C‑3 highway commercial uses and laydown/ truck parking, contingent on tying development to prior master-plan infrastructure improvements; the recommendation will go to the county commission in February.
The Wilson County Planning Commission voted Dec. 19 to recommend approval of a land-use amendment and rezoning for a 2.83‑acre parcel on McCreary Road (Parcel 36.14) from low-density residential/R‑1 to high‑intensity commercial/C‑3.
Christopher told the commission the parcel sits adjacent to recently approved commercial and truck-parking PUDs and that prior master-plan commitments require infrastructure improvements — including raising and realigning Vesta Road, improvements to McCreary Road and bridge work over Hurricane Creek — that must be completed before occupancy. Staff said it could reasonably support approval if the rezoning were tied to those infrastructure obligations.
Nathan Quinn, representing the applicant, said the parcel would be absorbed into the adjacent C‑3 PUD and that the applicant could tie conditions for drainage and access to the broader master-plan commitments. “This would just kinda complete the puzzle and put all those together,” Quinn said.
Commissioner Turner moved to approve the rezoning subject to staff recommendations; the motion was seconded by Mr. Ash and carried by voice vote. Because the request includes a land-use amendment, the item will be scheduled for the county commission in February for final action.
