Cheatham County approves five rezoning requests and sends amended C5 rules back to Planning Commission

Cheatham County’s legislative body approved five advertised rezoning petitions and amended a proposed change to the C5 Neighborhood Commercial Mixed-Use District at its June 29 meeting.

Building Commissioner Franklin Wilkinson presented the advertised rezonings during a public hearing that listed parcel numbers and voting-district locations. The body approved the following rezoning motions by roll-call votes: Tanner Owen (E1 to R2; Map 34, Parcel 74.00), Bruce and Stephanie Myers (C5 to C1; Map 23, Parcel 075.00), Charles and Beth Collins (Agriculture to R1 for Map 34, Parcels 5.00 and 5.02), K & S Ventures, LLC. (C5 to C1 for a 1.06-acre portion of Map 26, Parcel 014.00) and James Laberge (E1 to R1; Map 98, Parcel 157). Most motions passed unanimously; the K & S Ventures motion passed 11–1.

Separately, the Capital Improvements Committee’s recommendation on a revised zoning resolution (which would change minimum lot widths and sizes in C5) initially failed on a tie vote. Commissioners then accepted the Planning Commission’s recommendation and voted to amend it by adding a requirement that future residential developments in the C5 district include 25% commercial development. The amended recommendation was approved and returned to the Planning Commission for further review and implementation guidance.

The minutes record the parcel identifiers, voting-district locations, and that none of the properties were within a Special Flood Hazard Area. The board scheduled follow-up review through the Planning Commission as required by county zoning procedures.
