PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration Of Initiating The Annexation Process And Draft Plan Of Services, Resolution 2018-101, For The Annexation Of The Bennett Property At 4321 Long Lane, By The City Of Franklin, Tennessee. (12/11/18 WS)
body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning an annexation request and draft Plan of Services for a property located at 4321 Long Lane, near the Williamson County Ag Center and Carothers Parkway.
Background
This property is contiguous to the City limits on the eastern edge of the Williamson County Agricultural Center and south of the Ladd Park neighborhood. Envision Franklin recommends a Regional Commerce design concept on all the properties south of Long Lane in anticipation of the extension of Carothers Parkway and realignment of Peytonsville Road. The proposed use, as discussed thus far with staff, would be supported by Envision Franklin. After this consideration to annex this property, the next steps will be to process the annexation request, formalize the Plan of Services, and zone the property. So long as there are no changes to the nature of the proposed use, staff will be recommending the General Office (GO) Zoning District. A GO Zoning District would not require a PUD but would require a site plan.
Recommendation
rec
Staff recommends initiating the annexation process.
