Livingston staff proposes ordinance changes to revive historic zoning commission, align city zoning with Tennessee code
Summary
Staff proposed two ordinance amendments: update local zoning provisions to match Tennessee code and reduce the historic zoning commission membership from nine to seven to ease quorum requirements. The clerk said the change must go before the Board of Zoning Appeals; a motion to approve was recorded but no vote is shown in the transcript.
Staff briefed the commission on efforts to revive Livingston’s historic zoning commission and presented two ordinance amendments: one to make local zoning law current with Tennessee code and a second to reduce the historic zoning commission membership from nine to seven to ease quorum challenges.
"Since 1986, Livingston has had a historic overlay zone," the clerk said. "The first thing that we need to do ... is we need to make our zoning law current with state law. And then ... reduce the number of members of the historic zoning commission from 9 down to 7, just to make it easier for us to get a quorum." Staff indicated the proposed amendments must go before the Board of Zoning Appeals and that representatives from Main Street and the Chamber were present.
The clerk recorded a motion to approve the amendments and the transcript records seconds and a motion to adjourn; no roll‑call vote on the ordinance amendments appears in the provided segments. The matter will proceed to the Board of Zoning Appeals for the next review step.
