Taxes lowered and zoning questions come before Council At September City Council meeting - Zoning Issues Surface - City Taxes Lowered Third Year in a Row By Tiffany Kessler Since June of this year, city zoning issues have increasingly become a debated topic among community members and the Columbia City Council. A topic that doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon, zoning concerns were once again brought before the council at Tuesday night's September meeting. * A second reading solidified city annexation for a popular property located on Hwy North 55. The owners of the renowned "Betty's OK Country Cooking" restaurant had previously requested to be annexed into the city. * Planning & Zoning (P&Z) had recently denied a zone change request for a parcel of land located at 511 Burkesville Street from Residential to Commercial. The reason given by P&Z was the prevention of "spot zoning". Dustin Brockman, owner of the property, addressed the council and explained that he had intended to move his car lot, currently on rented property within the city limits, to this new location. The council decided to table the motion and consult with the P&Z Commission. * The P&Z Commission had just recently denied another property within the city from being named Commercial from its current Residential status. Located at 172 Parrott Avenue and owned by Charles Tarter was turned down, reason being "spot zoning". Mr. Tarter is currently attempting to sell his property and wants it zoned Commercial to entice potential buyers. The council once again decided to table the property and speak with the P&Z Commission. City Tax Bills See Slight Decrease Tax payers will see a small decrease when they receive this year's annual ad valorem tax bill. During the September meeting, City Attorney Derrick Helm read the ordinance which set the 2019 rate at $.225 on each $100 worth of property including land, personal property - tangible and intangible. This marks the third year in a row the tax has lowered: 2017 city tax rate was $.23 and 2018 it was set at $.227 The decrease is believed to be due to an unofficial estimate of $4 million dollars in growth throughout the city within the past year. Council members present for the regular meeting included: Dr. Ronald Rogers, Sharon Payne, June Parson, Mark Harris and Linda Waggener. Absent from the meeting was council member Craig Dean. Regular meetings for the Columbia City Council are held the first Monday of each month at 6pmCT in City Hall, 116 Campbellsville St, Columbia, KY. Meetings are open to the public.
