body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission (FMPC) concerning a rezoning for property located at 1222 Liberty Pike.
Project Information
COF Project Number: 5839
Applicant: Greg Gamble, Gamble Design Collaborative
Owner: SS Knoll Top, LLC Rep: Ralph Knauss
Background/Staff Comments
This proposal lies within the McEwen Character Area 4, and complies with the recommendation for a mixture of attached and detached residential uses, and neighborhood or local retail uses. MECO-4 also states that attached residential is appropriate as a transition to residential uses to the east. Staff agrees that placing a higher density of residential (20 du/acre) closer to major traffic corridors is preferred to placing such density within or beyond the lower density, single-family neighborhoods of the area. Further, the proposed attached residential provides a compatible use for the property immediately to the east, Columbia State Community College, as well as for the office, commercial, and retail uses along the Carothers Parkway corridor.
Project Considerations
Project Considerations are not conditions of this approval, but are intended to highlight issues that should be considered in the overall site design or may be required when more detailed plans are submitted for review. These items are not meant to be exhaustive and all City requirements and ordinances must be met with each plan submittal.
The previous comment "Provide landfill assessment information" was not addressed. This can be addressed at Development Plan, but early coordination is encouraged as the exact extents and restraints on land use placed on the landfill-underlain portion of the site by TDEC will affect site layout and landscape requirements.
The previous comment "Provide statement of impact on street network" was not addressed. This can be addressed at Development Plan, but early coordination is encouraged as the traffic impacts will affect site layout and roadway improvement requirements.
