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been gradually scaled back since staff brought a larger version to commissioners in January, was intended to eliminate outdated industrial zoning near Founders Park and create the potential for small-scale development and reinvestment on certain properties in the neighborhood.

Although the proposal has garnered opposition from some nearby residents, Johnson City commissioners will decide this week whether to rezone a series of parcels in and around the Mountain Home neighborhood.
On Thursday, commissioners will vote on third and final reading whether to rezone 10 parcels from a mixture of R-4 (medium-density residential) and I-2 (heavy industrial) to R-2 (low-density residential), B-3 (supporting central business) and MX-1 (mixed-use neighborhood).
Five plots would change to MX-1, which allows small-scale goods and services. The changes would remove outdated industrial zoning on city-owned property near Founders Park and create the potential for infill growth and reinvestment in and around the neighborhood.
