A proposed 120-unit apartment complex in Johnson City, which has attracted vocal opposition from nearby residents, could take another step this week toward reality.
Johnson City commissioners will consider on first reading this Thursday whether to rezone an almost 11-acre property at 2803 Browns Mill Road. The parcel would change from R-3 (medium residential) to R-4 (medium density residential), which would increase the maximum unit density of the land. The rezoning would require three votes from the commission before it becomes official.
Neighbors have said traffic and safety are already issues on Browns Mill Road, where residents say motorists frequently travel faster than the speed limit of 25 mph.

Prompting uncertainty about next steps, a motion to rezone 10 parcels in the Mountain Home neighborhood failed on a 2-2 vote by the Johnson City Commission on Thursday.
A proposal to rezone 10 parcels in and around the Mountain Home neighborhood failed on a 2-2 vote during a City Commission meeting on July 1. An 11th property, marked with the red X, was removed before the vote on Thursday.
Itâs unclear whether the request, which was initiated by city staff, will appear in front of the City Commission again and what form it will take if it does.
The proposal, which has been gradually scaled back since staff brought a larger version to commissioners in January, was intended to eliminate outdated industrial zoning near Founders Park and create the potential for small-scale development and reinvestment on certain properties in the neighborhood.
