Cheatham County approves two zone changes and adds 'Construction Sales and Service' to C1 zoning

The Cheatham County Legislative Body voted unanimously Oct. 16 to approve two advertised zone changes and a text amendment to the county zoning resolution.

On a motion by Commissioner Diana Pike Lovell, seconded by Commissioner David Anderson, commissioners approved changing two parcels owned by Betty Nollner (Map 30, Parcels 28 and 28.01) at 1030 and 1019 Hershel Hagewood Road from Agriculture to E1. The motion carried by roll-call vote 12–0 (Resolution 4).

Commissioner Walter Weakley moved, with a second from Commissioner Bill Powers, to approve a zone change for a 3.26-acre portion of Map 17, Parcel 37 (2651 Mosley Ferry Road) owned by Letticia B. Goodwin, from Agriculture to E1. That motion also passed by roll-call vote 12–0 (Resolution 5).

Separately, the commission amended Appendix A, Table 1 of the Cheatham County Zoning Resolution to add Construction Sales and Service as a permitted use in the C1 General Commercial zoning district. The amendment, moved by Commissioner David Anderson and seconded by Commissioner Calton Blacker, passed on a 12–0 roll-call vote (Resolution 6).

Why it matters: Each zone change alters allowable land uses for the parcels listed and was advertised for public hearing; no members of the public spoke for or against the items during the hearing. The C1 text amendment will allow businesses that sell or serve construction-related materials or equipment to operate by-right in C1 zones rather than requiring special exceptions or rezoning.

What comes next: The rezoning and text amendment are effective according to county procedures set out in the zoning code. Any future development proposals on the affected parcels or within the C1 district will be reviewed under the new permitted-use lists.
