Cheatham County approves two rezones, defers third after public hearing
Summary
The county commission approved rezoning for two properties — Paul and Beth Ellis (R1→Agriculture) and a 0.65-acre portion of William Traughber’s parcel (I2→C1) — and deferred a third rezoning request from J.C. Brewer to allow neighbor notification. Votes were recorded by roll call.
Cheatham County commissioners on May 17 approved two zoning changes after a public hearing and deferred a third request for additional neighbor notification.
At a public hearing held before the regular meeting, commissioners heard three rezoning requests. The first, from Paul and Beth Ellis, proposed changing Map 67, Parcel 5.03 (off Wiley Pardue Road, 5th voting district) from R1 to Agriculture. Commissioner Diana Pike Lovell moved to approve the Ellis request; the motion passed on a roll-call vote of 11–0 with one commissioner absent.
A second request, brought by Robert Holt on behalf of property owner William Traughber, sought to rezone a 0.65-acre portion of Map 21, Parcel 10.01 on McMahan Hollow Road from I2 to C1. Commissioners approved that request by the same roll-call margin (11–0, one absent).
The third request, from J.C. Brewer to change Map 68, Parcel 41 (1047 Wallace Williams Road, 5th voting district) from Agriculture to E1, was moved by Diana Pike Lovell and seconded by Ed Greer but was deferred to the June commission meeting to allow required neighbor notification and advertising.
Why it matters: The two approvals change allowable uses along the listed roadways and are now in effect after the recorded roll-call votes. The Brewer item returns to the agenda next month for further public notice and consideration.
Who led and how the vote went: The Building Commissioner presented the items; motions were made and seconded from the floor and the roll-call votes for the two approvals were unanimous among the eleven commissioners present. The Brewer request was deferred by voice vote.
What’s next: The Brewer rezoning will be re-advertised and reconsidered at the June commission meeting; the county planning/building department will process notices to neighboring property owners as required.
