Summary

The commission approved a planned-residential rezoning for Clouds Rest Development LLC at 4.3 dwelling units per acre, reversing a withdrawal that had occurred before a county-commission hearing. Applicant said access and a landscape buffer condition were part of prior negotiations; commissioners voted to approve consistency with prior commission action.

The Planning Commission approved a rezoning request by Clouds Rest Development LLC for a nearly 4.97-acre parcel on Byington Beaver Ridge Road at up to 4.3 dwelling units per acre.

Coleman Sullivan, representing the applicant, said the proposal mirrors an earlier approval at 4.3 units per acre and that recent concerns with access (TDOT) were being addressed by a revised southern entrance alignment. Staff recommended denial because it found no change in conditions to justify increased density; the applicant said conditions had been addressed and that density would be consistent with a previously approved recommendation.

Commissioners discussed the project’s history — the applicant had withdrawn the prior submittal before county commission — and agreed to approve the planned residential zoning at 4.3 units per acre, finding it consistent with the earlier recommendation. The motion passed by voice vote.
