Land Use Plan
BCCO-7
Character
1. Franklin Road in this area is considered to be the last rural gateway into Central Franklin. This area is unique and has tremendous scenic value to the community. As such, it will remain a prominent and important gateway and corridor into Central Franklin.
3. Substantial areas of open space exist. Future land uses will be carefully developed to respect the rural character of the area.
Land Use
1. Established land uses include homesteads, farmsteads and large estate single family residential uses. Future development will be limited and may include clustered residential and institutional uses that maintain substantial areas of open space and preserve rural viewsheds.
3. Appropriate uses include detached and attached residential. Commercial uses shall not be considered (FRSAP).
Development Form
1. The area should follow standards for the Rural Design Concept, unless the clustering option is employed. In the use of clustering, the traditional standards would be appropriate for the developed portion of the project.
Background/Staff Comments
The existing Land Use Plan and Envision Franklin support the zoning request to remain detached residential. The base zoning of Detached Residential 1 (R1) District is consistent with the zoning along this stretch of Franklin Road.
