# Board of Zoning Appeals 11/12/26

The Sumner County Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 12, 2026. The board approved a variance for a church monument sign exceeding residential-district limits for height, area (80 square feet versus a 20-square-foot limit), and internal lighting. It also considered a sign variance for a historical association; the transcript indicates a motion and unanimous result but is unclear on the precise disposition. A special exception for a medium community assembly at Faith Church, with a proposed 360-seat building and parking, was approved subject to site-plan approval and applicable requirements, including stormwater, parking, signage, and landscaping. The board also approved a change to a lawn-care business’s conditional-use permit to reflect a revised property boundary, with no change to the business’s scope and a two-year permit term subject to renewal requirements.

The board deferred a wedding-venue permit-expansion request so the applicant could clarify whether the bridal suite would be in the accessory dwelling unit or shed and address applicable approvals; the request also included year-round events. A separate agenda item was removed because of a publication issue. The board approved prior meeting minutes and its meeting calendar. No procurement, contract awards, spending decisions, or vendor selections were identified.
