Details
Addresses in the titles: 5502 Dayton Boulevard (14398), 1307 Hixson Pike (14399), 100 E. 38th Street (14410), 400, 402 and 405 Garden Road (14412), 3935 Cromwell Road (14413), 8022, 8026 and 8030 Old Lee Highway (14414), 2411 Awtry Street (14415). 14400 lifts conditions 3, 4 and 6 from Ordinance 13479; 14408 amends condition 3 of Ordinance 14199; 14409 lifts condition 2 of Ordinance 13064; 14401 amends use provisions of the zoning ordinance.
On 2026-09-15 council members stated that two Dayton Boulevard and Mountain Creek items were withdrawn. Ordinance 14398 (5502 Dayton Boulevard) nevertheless passed, so the withdrawn items may be different cases; this is not resolved in the sources read.
Ordinances 14413 and 14415 passed as amended on first reading on 2026-10-20.
Planning staff brief the Council on rezoning cases. Jenni Berz chairs the Planning and Zoning committee.

The Planning and Zoning Committee pre-reviewed six cases for the October 13 agenda: Garden Road to OS/A1 with conditions; Hixson Pike CC to CR on three parcels (one withdrawn, with a debate on use rights lost in zoning equivalency); Old Lee Highway to RN3 with seven conditions; a 20th Street miniature-golf rezoning (two members signaled denial); Vance Avenue to CN; and 2411 Autry Street to CC for a short-term rental (Planning Commission recommended denial). A Cromwell Road application was expected to be withdrawn, though the captions on this are contradictory.
First reading passed for a condition amendment on Hunt Drive and a rezoning on East 38th Street. Old Pineville Road and Hixson Pike requests withdrawn. Garden Road, Cromwell Road, Old Highway, Advance Avenue and Audrey Street deferred, mostly to October 20. A West 20th Street rezoning was denied on public safety grounds.
Captions: Old Highway rezoning needs a traffic impact study; a traffic counter was requested on Garden Road; a mini-golf rezoning near Southside Social was withdrawn; further cases (Gad Road, Hixon, Shallford Road, Miltown/South Watkins) previewed.
Previewed a rezoning at 5251 and 5313 Champion Road; staff recommended lifting 2021 conditions for 5313 (with no outdoor storage) and keeping them for 5251. No vote.
