Conditional Use Permit Decisions in Lawrence County

A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) - also called a "special exception" in some jurisdictions - grants permission to operate a specific land use in a zoning district where that use is allowed only under certain conditions. Unlike a use variance (which overrides the zoning code), a CUP is specifically contemplated by the code as a use that may be appropriate if certain conditions are met. ZoneWire tracks conditional use permit activity across Lawrence County, TN public meetings.

ZoneWire covers the Lawrence County Commission: its regular and special sessions, the agenda meetings that set each session, and the standing committees where items are worked out first, including Budget, Highway, and Resolution. Each covered meeting gets a searchable transcript and, where the county publishes one, the agenda.

The City of Lawrenceburg is the zoning authority in this market. It administers its own zoning ordinance (Ordinance No. 789, adopted June 18, 1993 and amended through 2015) and publishes the official zoning map. Unincorporated Lawrence County has no county zoning resolution, and the county government lists no planning, zoning, or codes department, so land outside city limits is not governed by a county zoning ordinance.

Because the county has no zoning resolution, the commission's land activity comes through county property purchases and sales, road and right-of-way actions through the Highway Committee, utility and infrastructure funding, and economic development agreements, rather than through rezoning cases or variances.

The City of Lawrenceburg accepts planning and development applications through its GovWell portal at app.govwell.com/lawrenceburg. Rezoning, variance, and site plan questions go to the city's Planning and Development department, which posts the current zoning ordinance and zoning map on the city website.
