Commission rejects Reyes Construction rezoning after residents and commissioners cite dangerous Pinson School Road
Summary
The commission defeated a 73.63-acre rezoning request for Reyes Construction after residents and multiple commissioners raised traffic, road-safety and infrastructure concerns; the vote was reported as 14 against and the resolution failed.
Residents who live on Pinson School Road told the Robertson County Commission they oppose a proposal to rezone 73.63 acres for higher-density residential use, saying the narrow road has numerous sharp curves and blind spots. One resident said: "It's a very dangerous road ... I'm talking about putting 31 houses just in that," raising concerns about nearly doubling local housing and the strain on gas, water and emergency response.
Multiple commissioners echoed those concerns, with one commissioner stating he was "opposed to anything that puts more to any kind of development until we get a traffic study and a water runoff study" and arguing developers should commit to road improvements. After discussion and a roll call, the chair announced the final tally and declared the resolution failed: the commission recorded 14 against and the resolution did not pass.
