Summary
The board approved six consent-agenda cases — including a daycare special exception, a new fire station site and several sign/height or buffer variances — after the zoning administrator said no parties were present in opposition.
The Board of Zoning Appeals approved six consent-agenda items Wednesday after Metro Zoning Administrator Joey Hargis said no parties were present to oppose the cases.
Hargis read the consent items, which included: case 2026-33 (special exception at 1122 3rd Avenue South); case 2026-37 (Fellowship of Free Will Baptist Church, special exception for daycare at 2518 Unit Antioch Pike); case 2026-40 (height variance at 221 51st Avenue North); case 2026-41 (landscape buffer variance for 825 Gale Lane); case 2026-42 (special exception for street setbacks and buffers for a new fire station at 1900 Baptist World Center Drive); and case 2026-43 (sign variance at 110 20th Avenue North).
A board member moved to approve the consent agenda “with associated conditions,” another member seconded, and the chair announced the motion passed. The zoning office advised applicants to follow up with the codes department Monday for permit-related items.
The approvals were handled as a single motion using the board’s consent agenda process, which the zoning administrator described as reserved for cases he has reviewed and determined meet the standards for approval absent testimony that would alter material facts. No opposition was recorded on the hearing record for these items.
The board did not state individual vote tallies in the public hearing; the chair announced the consent agenda had been approved and instructed successful applicants to coordinate next steps with the codes department.
