Summary

The Cheatham County Legislative Body approved two rezones and adopted a revised Zoning Resolution that replaces section 6.070 with new Flood Damage Prevention Regulations to maintain eligibility in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Cheatham County commissioners on Jan. 25 approved multiple land-use actions, including two rezones and the formal adoption of a revised county zoning resolution that replaces section 6.070 with new Flood Damage Prevention Regulations intended to minimize flood risks and keep the county eligible for the National Flood Insurance Program.

The legislative body approved a zone change requested by K & S Ventures, LLC, moving a 3.78-acre portion of Map 26, Parcel 014.00 on War Eagles Way from C5 to CMUPUD. The motion, made by Commissioner Chris Gilmore and seconded by Commissioner David Anderson, passed on a roll-call vote of 11–0 with one commissioner absent (Resolution 4).

Minutes show the body also approved a separate rezone for the Gifford Partnership at 1280 Jackson Felts Road (Map 23, Parcel 96.01) from C5 to C1. Commissioner Tim Williamson moved the motion, seconded by Commissioner Ann Jarreau; the roll-call vote was 12–0–0 (Resolution 5).

Shortly afterward, the body approved an amendment to the Zoning Resolution that deletes the existing section 6.070 and replaces it with a newly revised Flood Damage Prevention Regulations section. Commissioner Diana Pike Lovell moved the amendment, seconded by Commissioner Gary Binkley; the motion passed 11–0 with one absence. The commission then voted to adopt and confirm the complete revised and amended Zoning Resolution, a final roll-call vote of 12–0–0 (Resolution 6 and Resolution 7).

The public hearing on the advertised zoning items drew no speakers for or against the proposals, according to the record. The Planning Commission had recommended the Growth Plan committee formation later approved by the legislative body to coordinate amendments to the county growth plan.

What happens next: The approved zoning amendments and the new Flood Damage Prevention Regulations are recorded as adopted; the county clerk’s record (resolutions attached to the minutes) indicates the measures passed on unanimous roll-call votes where recorded. Any required map or administrative updates will be carried out by county planning staff.
