Commissioners approve rezoning for 2384 Rocky Fork Road after public concern

The Town of Nolensville Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on May 7 to approve Ordinance 26‑03, a second-reading rezoning of property at 2384 Rocky Fork Road (parcel references given in the agenda) from Rural Character District (CD‑2) to Neighborhood Large Character District (CD‑3).

Commissioner Gill, who had asked to remove the item from the consent agenda for fuller discussion, told neighbors that public input had been heard and summarized the staff and planning-commission process: "We hear you. We listen. We care about what your thoughts are," he said, adding that the planning commission had vetted and recommended the change. He also noted he had reviewed the warranty deed and other materials cited by residents and would respond to emails he discovered in his spam folder.

The mayor and other commissioners described comparisons to nearby lot sizes and prior rezonings and emphasized the board's legal duty to state reasons when voting against a rezoning. After discussion, the board voted in favor; the mayor announced the motion passed unanimously.

Ordinance 26‑03 alters the town zoning map for the referenced parcel to allow the neighborhood large character classification. The motion passed without recorded dissent. The board did not adopt any additional conditions on the rezoning during the meeting.
