The meeting included discussion and a public hearing concerning the Farragut 2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Key discussions focused on plan adoption, consistency, and implementation, particularly item number four regarding plan adoption and consistency, stressing the need for continuous connection between the Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, and annual budget. Several residents voiced concerns regarding proposed zoning changes, specifically the classification of the Paoacre Subdivision as Regional Commercial, requesting it maintain its current low-density residential classification. Other resident comments addressed the density recommendations for residential zoning intertwined with office/industrial areas and concerns about road planning in certain parcels. A commissioner clarified that the plan is a suggestion for the future and does not change current zoning without further action by the Board of Mayor and Alderman, also stating a firm stance against using eminent domain for private sector benefit.
