Rezoning Request for 10 Townhomes on Eno Road Moves Forward

Charlotte, TN — A proposal to build 10 townhomes on Eno Road took its next step Tuesday night (Feb. 17) as the Dickson County Commission advanced a rezoning request that would allow the development to proceed.

The request seeks to rezone approximately 2.2 acres from A-1 (Agricultural) to R-3 (Residential) in order to construct the townhome project.

The property is located on Eno Road in Dickson County.

What the Rezoning Means

Under current A-1 zoning, the parcel is restricted primarily to agricultural and low-density uses. The requested R-3 designation allows for higher-density residential development, including townhomes.

According to information presented at the meeting, the proposal calls for 10 new townhomes on the site.

Following a public hearing — during which no one spoke — commissioners voted to move the rezoning forward in the process, setting it up for further consideration at a future meeting.

Why It Matters?

While relatively small in scale, the proposal reflects a broader trend across Dickson County: increasing residential density in areas traditionally zoned for agriculture.

As population growth continues and housing demand rises, townhome and multi-unit developments are becoming more common. Supporters often point to affordability and efficient land use, while critics frequently raise concerns about traffic, school capacity, infrastructure strain, and neighborhood character.

Because this property sits on Eno Road — an area that has seen steady development — nearby residents may take interest as the proposal advances.

What Happens Next

The rezoning is not final yet. The matter will return to the commission for a final vote at an upcoming regular session.

If ultimately approved, the zoning change would clear the way for the developer to move forward with site planning and permitting under R-3 residential standards.

For now, the proposal moves one step closer to reality — adding another chapter to the ongoing conversation about how and where Dickson County should grow.
