Commission forwards rezoning request for East Lamar Alexander Parkway after 11-2 workshop vote
Summary
A zoning map amendment to rezone about 3.758 acres at 4750 East Lamar Alexander Parkway from R-1 to RAC was moved forward to the full commission after an 11-2 vote in the May 14 workshop.
A zoning map amendment to rezone a 3.758-acre portion of a 5.069-acre tract at 4750 East Lamar Alexander Parkway in Blount County was forwarded to the full commission after an 11-2 vote during the county's May 14 workshop.
The clerk read the application as a request to change the parcel from R-1 Rural District to RAC (Rural Arterial Commercial). The chair recorded a motion from Commissioner Carver with a second recorded as coming from Commissioner Acre; the clerk reported 11 yes votes and 2 no votes in the workshop and the matter will proceed to the full commission for final action.
Why it matters: The rezoning, if approved by the full commission, would change the permitted use and development standards for the parcel at 4750 East Lamar Alexander Parkway (Tax Map 60, parcel 182.16), potentially enabling commercial development along a county arterial corridor.
Next steps: The rezoning request will appear on the full commission agenda for a final decision at the regular meeting on May 21.
