Project Information
COF Project Number: 6650
Applicant: Clay Wallace, ELI LLC
Owner: Terry Rasmussen, Crescent Homes TN LLC.
Background/Staff Comments
The applicant is seeking to create a total of 3 lots on 7.97 acres. Two of the lots will be for commercial uses and the remainder lot will be dedicated open space.
Envision Franklin recommends a Neighborhood Commercial design concept for this parcel.
The Neighborhood Commercial design concept contains a mix of active uses at key intersections that serve surrounding residential concentrations. These centers must be compatible with and contribute to neighborhood character and livability. These centers should be defined by building frontages and an activated street, and not by parking lots. They should be pedestrian-friendly places with high-quality architecture, plazas, outdoor dining, sidewalks, and other pedestrian and bicycle amenities that create active, connected gathering places.
The existing zoning on this site is Neighborhood Commercial (NC). This parcel was included in the Lockwood Glen PUD Subdivision. A subsequent revision to the Lockwood Glen PUD Subdivision Development Plan removed the entirety of this site from the limits of the PUD Subdivision. The allowed uses under the Neighborhood Commercial district are compatible with this proposed Preliminary Plat. One or more site plans will be required in the future for vertical development on this site.
