Background/Staff Comments
This property is located at all four corners of the intersection of East McEwen Drive and Cool Springs Blvd. The intended zoning for this parcel is Specific Development Variety District (SD-X 10.48/420875). A separate Resolution 2018-105 accompanies this rezoning for the corresponding Development Plan.
A concept plan for this site was approved via Ordinance 2004-61, with final approval occurring at the September 15, 2004 Board of Mayor and Alderman meeting. The original concept plan was approved for 172 attached residential units in the northwest quadrant and 391,012 square feet of commercial space across all four quadrants of this proposed development. This revision to the plan proposes 122 attached residential units in the northwest quadrant and 492 multifamily units interspersed the retail and commercial buildings in the southern half of the northwest quadrant, a difference of 442 dwelling units. A total of 420,875 square feet of commercial/retail/office space is proposed, a difference of 29,863 square feet from the original approved concept plan, with 306,100 square feet occurring in the mixed use portion of the northwest quadrant, separated from the existing single family residential neighborhoods.
Envision Franklin recommends a Neighborhood Mixed Use Design Concept for this area. The accompanying Development Plan meets the intent of the Neighborhood Mixed Use design concept as outlined in the Development Plan.
