- Future Land Use Plan 2026 The Future Land Use Plan 2026 sets a 20-year policy framework for Hickman County that keeps most of the county in agricultural, conservation, and low-density rural uses while directing stronger residential and commercial growth toward Centerville and the TN-46, TN-100, and TN-7 corridors. The plan emphasizes that limited water service and especially sewer capacity are major constraints, notes conflict over a planned wastewater facility and opposition to Lick Creek as a discharge site, and suggests decentralized wastewater options may be needed in some growth areas. Public outreach generally favored rural preservation and natural-resource protection, though the document contains an internal inconsistency in reported scenario preferences while also stating the Compact scenario was most preferred overall. The map and placetype system are intended to guide future rezoning, infrastructure, and development review rather than rezone property directly, with zoning compatibility recommendations for A-1, R-1, R-2, C-1, C-2, I-1, and I-2 districts. The plan also calls for a future formal growth-plan update with Centerville under Public Chapter 1101, continued coordination inside the Urban Growth Boundary, and tools such as developer-funded infrastructure, conservation-oriented subdivision design, and possible Transfer of Development Rights to support farmland and resource protection.
- Zoning Resolution of Hickman County This item is not a meeting action but Hickman County’s zoning resolution and amendment history, showing the county’s land-use rules as adopted in 2005, effective in 2006, and updated through 2021 with the document marked last updated in March 2025. The code lays out permitted uses and special-exception processes across A-1, R-1, R-2, C-1, C-2, I-1, and I-2 districts, including detailed standards for mobile home parks, campgrounds, telecom towers, junk and salvage yards, guest houses, multifamily housing, indoor gun ranges, wild game processing, and micro-distilleries. It also includes major floodplain regulations tied to FEMA, the National Flood Insurance Program, and Tennessee law, with development-permit requirements, elevation standards, and limits on floodway encroachments. Administrative provisions assign enforcement to the building commissioner, require zoning compliance permits and inspections, allow doubled permit fees for work started without a permit, and set a $50 reinspection fee. Other notable provisions cover agricultural exemptions from zoning control, airport overlay restrictions near the Centerville Municipal Airport, adult-oriented business spacing rules, and timelines for nonconforming uses and reconstruction.
