Project Information
COF Project Number: 6197
Applicant: Adam Crunk, Crunk Engineering
Owner: William L. Mayo
Background/Staff Comments
The applicant is proposing a 40-unit development consisting of 1 single family dwelling, 24 duplex units, and 15 townhome units. The lots are of similar width to the detached homes fronting Avondale Drive. The Franklin Land Use Plan supports attached and detached residential development in this Character Area (CFCO-3). The site will be accessed by Avondale Drive and add a future connection and R.O.W to the southwestern side of the site. The Development Plan addresses the recommendations of the Land Use Plan, as provided in the following sections:
Character
3. Established neighborhoods having a traditional development pattern are important to the character of Central Franklin. The community desires to maintain the established residential character and scale of the area.
Land Use
4. The predominant uses will include detached and attached residential development, institutional and civic uses. Accessory dwellings are appropriate in the area. In addition to existing commercial uses, limited neighborhood commercial, civic and institutional uses will occur in nodes located at major intersections of collector or arterial streets.
Development Form
5. The area should follow standards for traditional areas. New infill and redevelopment in the area is recommended for TND that respects the character of established traditional development.
6. Buildings may be at a scale of up to 3 stories. Pursuant to a PUD under certain circumstances, buildings may be up to 4 stories. However, buildings at a height of 4 stories are inconsistent with the established character of a majority of the area and should be discouraged.
Connectivity
7. Development will provide an interconnected street network with sidewalks present.
8. Development may be supported by surface or structural parking located to the side or rear of buildings which address the street. On-street parking is encouraged. Future above grade parking structures may be incorporated into residential development so long as they do not adversely impact the residential character of the area. Large stand-alone parking structures that are truly geared toward commercial/office uses are prohibited.
Recommendation
recommendation
Favorable recommendation of Resolution 2016-46 to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
