Project Information
COF Project Number: 6429
Applicant: Matt Bryant, M2 Group
Owner: Michael Gentry
Background/Staff Comments
Envision Franklin recommends an office residential design concept for this location. The Office Residential design concept primarily consists of established, historic, single-family residential structures with a traditional development pattern. Over time, many of these residential structures have been converted to office and personal-service uses.
This design concept designates the transition area between more intensive commercial areas and the surrounding residential areas. Buildings, regardless of use, should maintain a single-family residential character.
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 current driveway configuration does not meet intersection design criteria. Engineering has requested the applicant close the connection point closest to Columbia Ave to improve Level of Service and safety at the intersection.
Future development of this site will require a site plan. The City of Franklin has a roadway improvement project that could require 15 feet of ROW from this property.
A separate exhibit of properties under the Office Residential (OR) zone in the City has been added to the project file. These are existing properties that meet the intent of the OR Zone or are currently in the OR zone.
Recommendation
recommendation
