Summary

The commission voted 12–0 on April 20 to deny a requested change from C5 to C1 for a parcel on Cotton Harris Road (1028 Cotton Harris Road), after neighbors cited narrow roads, flooding and safety concerns during the public hearing.

Following a public hearing on a rezoning request for 1028 Cotton Harris Road (Map 23, Parcel 64.05), the Cheatham County Commission voted unanimously to deny the applicant’s request to change zoning from C5 to C1.

Neighbors who live along Cotton Harris Road and the adjacent subdivision described narrow roads, drainage and flooding problems, and safety concerns if increased commercial truck traffic were allowed. Several residents asked commissioners to require adequate detention and to preserve the residential character of the area.

A motion to deny the C5→C1 change was made, seconded and approved by roll call with a tally recorded as 12 yes, 0 no.

The decision closes this particular rezoning request. Any future applicant could submit a different proposal, but would be subject to public hearing requirements and the county’s established rezoning process.
