Soddy-Daisy approves multiple zoning changes, including rezoning for East Highwater Road tract
Summary
On first reading the commission approved an amendment limiting mini-storage in C-2 to parcels that cannot install septic or sewer and approved rezoning a 5-acre tract at 180 East Highwater Road to C-2; the board also amended temporary-use rules for travel trailers in the TCM district to allow up to 180 days within a 270-day period.
The Soddy-Daisy Board of Commissioners on Jan. 18 approved several zoning actions on first reading, voting unanimously to accept Planning Commission changes that narrow where mini-storage warehouses may be permitted and to rezone a five-acre tract on East Highwater Road.
City Manager Burt Johnson told the board the Planning Commission amended its recommendation to allow mini-storage warehouses and storage facilities in C-2 Local Business District only "if the parcel cannot install septic facilities and sewer connection is cost prohibitive." He said such uses would still require a Use Permitted on Appeal from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
On the rezoning request for a tract at 180 East Highwater Road, applicant Sandip Patel said the parcel is located across from the Dollar General and that he currently has no firm development plan but "perhaps in two years he would develop the property commercially." The commission approved the first reading of the rezoning ordinance unanimously.
The board also amended Article VII, Section 130.4.1(g) to change temporary-use permit rules for travel trailers in the TCM Tourist Court and Motel District. Under the amendment, an applicant may stay for 90 days, renew once for an additional 90 days, and then must leave for 90 days, allowing a total of 180 days within a 270-day period. When asked about enforcement, City Attorney Elliott said the city would have to file suit if an owner failed to comply because the matter did not fall under the Administrative Hearing Officer.
All actions received unanimous first-reading approval; no opposition was recorded at the hearings.
