Biggs - RZ — Office Professional Services (OPS district allows business and communication services, convenience retail, food and beverage, personal services, and professional services) in Portland, TN
Tim Biggs seeks to rezone 0.45 acres at 840 South Broadway from RS-20 (residential) to OPS (Office Professional Services) to improve the property's saleability, as the owner has received inquiries from potential commercial users. The rezoning aligns with the city's long-range plan designating this highway corridor for mixed-use urban development, though commissioners raised concerns about traffic impacts near a school and emergency room access.
