Cocke County approves rezoning of two Cosby-area parcels to general commercial
Summary
At its March 17 meeting, the Cocke County Legislative Body rezoned two parcels (Map 083 Parcels 081.13 and 081.16) from R‑1 (residential) to C‑2 (general commercial) after a public hearing; both measures passed with 10 ayes, 1 nay and 1 pass (2 absent).
The Cocke County Legislative Body on March 17 voted to change the zoning of two Cosby‑area parcels from R‑1 (residential) to C‑2 (general commercial).
Commissioner Andy Ford moved to rezone 322 Camp Lillard Way (Map 083 Parcel 081.13), and Commissioner Bill Miller seconded. After discussion and the public hearing convened earlier in the evening, the motion carried with a vote reported as 10 ayes, 1 nay, 1 pass and 2 absent.
Separately, Commissioner Jason McMahan moved to rezone the property on Cosby Highway (Map 083 Parcel 081.16) from R‑1 to C‑2; Andy Ford seconded and the motion carried with the same tally.
Both rezonings were introduced at a public hearing held immediately before the regular meeting. The minutes include maps and parcel identifiers for both sites; deeded acreage for Parcel 081.13 is shown in the attachments as 5.26 acres and Parcel 081.16 as 2.5 acres. The minutes record that public comment sign‑in sheets were posted and available for the hearing.
The measures were adopted as Resolution No. 1139, which amends the "Zoning Map of Cocke County, Tennessee" to reflect the changes. The resolutions will take effect as prescribed in the resolution text.
No individual public comments are quoted in the minutes; the record indicates a public hearing was held and that discussion occurred before each vote. The meeting minutes do not specify which commissioners voted nay or passed. The board recorded two absences for the session.
