Board of Zoning Appeals 8/13/26

The Sumner County Board of Zoning Appeals held a meeting on August 13, 2026, primarily to consider a variance request from the Missionary Baptist Church regarding county sign regulations. The church sought approval to install a new internally lit sign exceeding the standard height and size limits, citing reasons such as visibility, lack of street lighting, and topographical challenges. The board reviewed the application, including site plans and justifications, and held a public hearing with minimal public comment. After discussion, the board moved to approve the variance request contingent upon obtaining all necessary permits. No other procurement or contracting matters were discussed during this meeting.
