Planning commission approves two rezoning requests; one passes 10–1

The Dickson County Planning Commission took roll-call votes on two rezoning applications during its Jan. 8 meeting and approved both requests for transmission to the county commission.

Rezoning for townhome construction: The commission considered a rezoning application for Tax Map 109, Parcel 032 (2.2 acres on Eno Road) submitted by Trent Smith and Elliot Jefferson Smith to allow construction of 10 townhomes. A commissioner moved to approve the application and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote required by rezoning procedure. The recorded tally was 10 in favor, 1 opposed; Todd Lindsey cast the lone "No." The chair announced the application was approved 10–1 and noted the matter will proceed to the county commission for final action.

Small commercial parcel rezoning: The commission also approved a request to rezone Tax Map 136, Parcel 028.18 (about 19,400 square feet at 2652 Highway 46 South) from A1 agriculture to C2 general commercial. Commissioner Amanda Berry moved the rezoning; the clerk conducted a roll-call vote the chair characterized as unanimous. The applicant told staff the parcel will be combined with adjacent commercially zoned lots as part of a larger property consolidation.

Both rezoning approvals are procedural actions that will be forwarded to the county commission for consideration at its upcoming meeting, consistent with local rezoning practice.
