Commission recommends rezoning of 1.3-acre lot to Traditional Neighborhood for single-family rebuild
Summary
The planning commission recommended rezoning a 1.3-acre lot from R-1 to Traditional Neighborhood (TN) for a replacement single-family dwelling; staff said the request is consistent with small-area and land-use plans and recommended approval.
The Collierville Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a rezoning request that would change a 1.3-acre parcel from R-1 low-density residential to the TN (Traditional Neighborhood) district, enabling a new single-family dwelling on the lot.
Staff told commissioners the property (east of Natchez Park Lane, south of Natchez Street) is within the historic overlay; the Historic Design Commission will review demolition and new-construction plans for placement and compatibility. Staff said the TN district allows smaller setbacks and that the lot width (about 87 feet) meets TN bulk requirements for street-loaded lots but is not wide enough to be divided into multiple street-loaded lots under TN standards. Staff recommended approval as consistent with the town’s small-area and land-use plans.
Carson Looney, the applicant and property owner, said the rezoning request was straightforward and acknowledged compliance costs associated with the process. A motion to recommend approval of the ordinance (read on the screen) was made, seconded and approved by roll call with no recorded opposition.
Next steps include Historic Design Commission review if demolition or significant alterations are proposed, and the applicant must pursue building permits and any certificate-of-appropriateness required by the historic overlay.
