Statements From The Land Use Plan
BERRY’S CHAPEL SPECIAL AREA 7
Land Use
2. Clustered development and open space conservation of surrounding areas shall be encouraged (FRSAP).
3. Appropriate uses include detached and attached residential. Commercial uses shall not be considered (FRSAP).
Appropriate Scale and architecture (FRSAP)
5a. Attached Residential may be appropriate if it has the massing and scale of detached residential, such as the Big House or Farmstead Compound concept, which would have multiple town house or flat units but resembles detached residential.
5b. Architectural sensitivity for new development shall be held in the utmost regard. The style and architecture shall draw from the surrounding area and historically significant buildings. Some of the historic dwellings in the area were built in the early 19th century and possess Federal and/or Greek Revival architecture.
Background/Staff Comments
The proposed zoning of SD-R 13.5 is consistent with the Land Use Plan, provided the proposed development meets the appropriate scale and architecture policies of the Franklin Road Small Area Plan. The proposed use is also compatible with the surrounding properties. The Legends golf course located to the northeast of this site is zoned for Specific Development Residential (SD-R). First Presbyterian Church is located immediately to the north and is zoned for Civic-Institutional (CI). The property to the west (across Franklin Road) is located in Williamson County and is used as agricultural/farmstead. The remaining two corners of this intersection are undeveloped.
