SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - The Sevierville Planning Commission met on Thursday to vote on a request to rezone over 400 acres of land for a D.R. Horton development.

Back in July, D.R. Horton, a national developer, met with the Sevierville Planning Commission to propose a new community that would include over 1,250 homes, three parks and a commercial area on Red Bank Road in Sevierville. The developer also requested to rezone 444 acres so the community could be built.

A vote on the request was supposed to take place in September, however, the commission voted 3-to-1 to postpone the vote, saying D.R. Horton had to make tweaks to their plan before it could be approved.

The vote got postponed until Oct. 2, where the commission ultimately voted to deny D.R. Horton’s request.
