Summary
On April 24, 2026 the Coffee County Planning Commission approved a preliminary plat, a final plat, a commercial site plan and two rezoning requests (McMinnville Hwy and 39 Goosepond Rd). Each motion passed unanimously 6-0 following a brief public comment period.
The Coffee County Planning Commission approved a slate of land-use items at its April 24, 2026 meeting, including two rezoning requests, a preliminary plat, a final plat and a commercial site plan. The meeting convened at 4:00 p.m. and adjourned at 4:40 p.m.
Why it matters: The approvals clear several property actions for local development and formalize changes to zoning and subdivision status that affect individual parcels and potential future building activity in Coffee County.
What the commission approved: Rodney Duncan moved to approve the preliminary plat for MG England Rd (map 087, parcel 003.00) after Andy Best presented the submission; the motion passed 6-0. A final plat for Fountain Grove Rd (map 046, parcels 011.09 & 011.10) was presented by Steve Perry and Jonathan Skinner and approved on a 6-0 vote after a motion from Ana Gonzales. Ryan Patterson presented a site plan for 763 AEDC Rd (map 095, parcel 044.02) on behalf of Lawson Real Estate Group; Laura Nettles moved to approve and the motion passed 6-0.
Rezoning actions: Nicholas Northcutt presented a request to rezone a McMinnville Hwy parcel (map 066, parcel 009.00) from A-1 to RS-1 on behalf of the Menn Trust. The commission determined the parcel met the RS-1 zone description requirements; Sammy Anderson moved to approve and the motion passed 6-0. Justin Kuhn presented a request from Shady Grove Homes to rezone 39 Goosepond Rd (map 032, parcel 032.00) from A-1 to C-1; the commission found the property met the C-1 zone description requirements and approved the request on a 6-0 vote.
Public comment and procedure: During the public comment period, Ernie West, Donna West Fletcher and James Austin spoke in opposition to the 39 Goosepond rezoning; Mike Bryan spoke in favor of the McMinnville Hwy rezoning. The commission had earlier voted 6-0 to move the 39 Goosepond item to the end of the agenda before considering it.
Process notes: Several items were described by staff or applicants as meeting submission requirements; motions to approve each item were seconded and carried unanimously. Chair Steve Cunningham also offered a clarification for the meeting on the urban growth boundary (UGB) and the A-1 five-acre minimum after the land-use items were concluded.
Next steps: The minutes of the April 24 meeting were later approved on May 26, 2026. No additional follow-up tasks or referral items were specified during the meeting.
