Commission approves two commercial rezones, including Kinzer Road and Water Level Highway parcels
Summary
Bradley County commissioners unanimously approved rezoning for 140 Kinzer Road and a separate Water Level Highway parcel, moving both from FAR (Forestry/Agricultural/Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial). The Kinzer trustee said the change better reflects current use; a seller's representative said the Water Level parcel suits a moving-company office.
The Bradley County Commission unanimously approved two rezoning measures, converting properties from FAR (Forestry/Agricultural/Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial).
For 140 Kinzer Road, Marilyn Kinzer Kenny, a trustee for Kinzer Church of God, said the parcel functions as a family center and that reclassification to C-2 would allow the property to be appraised at market value should the church seek commercial options in the future. The planning commission had recommended approval, and the commission voted 12 in favor with 2 members absent.
On Water Level Highway, attorney Travis Henry said he represented the seller and that the buyer plans to locate a moving-company office there. Henry told commissioners the parcel is surrounded by commercial uses and that the request aligns with neighboring development. That rezone also passed on a 12-0 recorded vote with 2 absent.
Both items were handled at public hearings with brief public comment and no recorded opposition at the meeting. The reclassifications will be reflected in the county's zoning records and take effect according to standard administrative procedures.
What happens next: County staff will incorporate approved rezoning ordinances into official land-use records and notify property owners and stakeholders of the change.
