Project Information
COF Project Number: 6202
Applicant: Ryan McMaster, Kimley-Horn
Owner: Glenn R. Wilson, SS Knoll Top, LLC
Background/Staff Comments
The site plan for the Standard at Cool Springs Subdivision, lot 2, includes 419 multifamily residential units and 31 townhomes. The applicant is requesting one design modification. The site is located on a capped landfill but has received approval by Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to build upon the landfill, per the soil management plan. The rezoning to permit the multifamily residential use on this site (Ordinance 2015-42) was favorably recommended to the BOMA at the 9/27/2015 FMPC meeting.
Design Modification
The applicant requests a Design Modification from Section 5.3.5 (b) (ii) to allow for an attached residential building to be longer than 200 feet. Staff finds that this is appropriate because the applicant has suitable architectural detailing along their facades that breaks up the scale and massing of the building.
Staff recommends approval of this Design Modification.
