Summary
The Board approved a rezoning application to change 0.73 acres from RA1 to RA2 in Boone Township to allow placement of a single-wide manufactured home; staff recommended approval citing changed housing-market conditions and neighborhood context.
The Davidson County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning Oct. 13 for a 0.73-acre parcel on the south side of Wilson Road in Boone Township, changing the zoning from RA1 (Rural Agricultural District) to RA2 (Rural Agricultural District) to allow a single-wide manufactured home.
Mr. Crook, planning staff, summarized the application by Gary D. Willets and noted this property is part of a recombined parcel that was formerly an old manufactured-home park. Staff recommended approval, citing a mixture of land uses in the area and Land Development Plan policies that support a diversity of housing types.
The applicant, Gary D. Willets, told the Board he sought the rezoning to place “a single wide on it, which would be more affordable for me than ... a double wide or stick build” because he cannot afford the alternatives. No members of the public spoke in opposition.
Staff pointed to specific plan policies in support and recommended adoption of a statement of consistency. On a motion and second, the Board approved the request and adopted the statement of consistency; the motion carried on a voice vote.
