County Commission Votes 5-4 To Revise R-1 Zoning Regulations Tuesday, July 20, 2021 - by Joseph Dycus
The Hamilton County Commissioners on Wednesday voted 5-4 in favor of revising R-1 zoning regulations. It increases density by reducing street frontage from 60 to 50 feet, and setbacks from 25 to 20 feet, and reduces the square footage of a lot from 7,500 to 6,000 square feet.
The City Council is expected to be asked to adopt the same measure later.
Commissioners Randy Fairbanks, Warren Mackey, David Sharpe, Tim Boyd and Chip Baker voted to approve, while Commissioners Katherlyn Geter, Steve Highlander, Sabrena Smedley, and Greg Martin voted in opposition. The subjects of infrastructure and affordable workforce housing were both discussed in-depth during the meeting. The room was packed with county constituents both for and against the resolution.
