Collegedale commission approves zoning updates, rezoning and IT equipment purchase
Summary
On second readings, the commission approved updates to floodplain rules to maintain NFIP eligibility, rezoned identified parcels to C-2, and adopted comprehensive zoning amendments; the body also approved a purchase of replacement computers for city departments.
The Collegedale City Commission on Oct. 6 approved three zoning-related measures on second reading and authorized an equipment purchase to replace obsolete city computers.
Ordinances approved included Ordinance 1165, which updates Chapter 9 of the zoning ordinance to reduce flood risk and maintain eligibility for the National Flood Insurance Program; Ordinance 1167, which rezones specified Hamilton County parcels from Industrial I-1 to Shopping Center Commercial C-2; and Ordinance 1168, which makes comprehensive and editorial amendments to the official zoning ordinance. The commission opened public hearings on each item; only the floodplain update prompted a brief public comment praising the update as necessary to preserve NFIP participation.
A resident who addressed the public hearing said, "This has to be updated on occasion ... it relates to the city being eligible for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program," supporting the staff recommendation.
Separately the commission approved a technology replacement purchase after staff outlined specifications: 29 regular laptops, five desktop all‑in‑one units (including two for the chamber), and one higher‑spec laptop for GIS and video production. "Most of them are 6 years or older," staff said, noting several machines could not be upgraded to current operating systems.
All measures were approved on roll call votes during the meeting. Staff said they will prepare the necessary implementation steps and will report budget and reimbursement details (including ongoing grant reimbursements and a near‑term payment for damaged library materials) at an upcoming workshop.
