Background/Staff Comments
This parcel is identified in Envision Franklin as part of the Regional Commerce Design Concept. Although Regional Commerce proposes a higher intensity of uses than what is permitted in the Estate Residential Zoning District, staff feels that this Zoning request is appropriate given the current use of the property. As there has been no PUD development plan submitted at this time, it is appropriate to zone annexed parcels as close to their current entitlements of the County zoning as possible. The current zoning within the County is Municipal Growth Area-1 (MGA-1). MGA-1 allows for agricultural, rural, and low-density residential development. In comparison, Estate Residential provides for very low density detached residential development on large lots. Further, zoning this property is consistent with the zoning proposed for the 26 parcels within the vicinity of this property currently proposed for annexation by referendum.
