AutoZone seeks approval of a revised Preliminary PUD Master Plan for a 6,894-sq-ft retail building on Lot 8A of Beechcroft Plaza, requiring multiple deviations from PUD-MU standards due to the lot's irregular configuration including reduced frontage buildout (31% vs. 60% required), increased secondary frontage setback (155 ft vs. 20 ft max), and freestanding signage. Key concerns include tree preservation limitations and loading space placement in a shared drive that may conflict with fire access and emergency requirements.
25-0459 — Maury Regional Cancer Center
This Preliminary and Final Plat subdivides approximately 5.5 acres at 800 James M. Campbell Blvd to create a single 200-foot-wide lot for the existing Maury Regional Cancer Center, located in the CD-4C zoning district. The plat conforms to applicable zoning and subdivision regulations, with staff recommending approval subject to fire-rated wall verification and standard recording requirements.
13-2025 — Church (Kingdom Hall)
This is a design review for a JW Church (Kingdom Hall) project in the SD-LI district requiring compliance with specific design standards including 20% glazing requirements on front and secondary elevations. The applicant must address architectural elevation details, facade glazing specifications, and submit alternative compliance documentation where design standards are not met.
25-0465 — Religious Facility
A 4,312-square-foot Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall is proposed at 2407 Precast Drive in an SD-Light Industrial district, requiring design review approval. The applicant is seeking alternative compliance to reduce secondary façade glazing from the required 20% to 0%, instead using a decorative stone accent wall for visual interest. This design review case involves façade and aesthetic standards within a special district subject to architectural review.
25-0461 — Townhomes
This is a Final PUD Master Plan amendment and preliminary plat for Phase 2C of the Bear Springs Planned Unit Development, adding 60 townhomes to the previously approved PUD without increasing overall unit density. The project operates under vested development rights from the original 2021 approval, with staff review focused on technical compliance rather than substantive policy changes.
24-026 — Townhomes (208 dwelling units)
This case involves a preliminary PUD approval for Honey Farm Crossing, a 208-unit townhome development on 25.9 acres with an 8.03 units/acre density. The project includes utility infrastructure evaluation and fire flow requirements approval, which may impact utility costs and infrastructure planning for similar residential developments in the area.
25-047 — Residential
Applicant seeks an exception to allow a subsurface sewage disposal system on a 0.35-acre lot, which is below the standard 1-acre minimum requirement in the City's Engineering Standards and Specifications. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has already permitted a 1-bedroom septic system on this property, but discrepancies exist between the permit and actual plans (including driveway relocation and apparent 2-bedroom structure), and Columbia Wastewater has not supported the exception, citing concerns about precedent and lack of proof that gravity sewer extension is infeasible.
22-0161 — plat
This is a Final Plat approval for Phase 1A of The Reserve at Hickory Ridge subdivision. The Planning Commission will review conformity with zoning ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, and standards. Approval is recommended subject to standard conditions including recordation within 60 days and compliance with technical comments from staff.
25-0457 — plat
This is a final plat application for Reserve at Hickory Ridge Phase 1A, a residential subdivision of approximately 155.5 acres on Bear Creek Pike. The development is vested under a previous zoning ordinance (RS-10) despite current CD-3 zoning. Technical review requires resolution of infrastructure issues including stormwater management, wastewater service relocations, and lot number confirmations before advancement to Planning Commission.
25-0414 — Residential
Applicant seeks to amend the comprehensive plan designation for 206.96 acres on Double Branch Road from Rural Transition to Suburban Neighborhood to enable residential development. The property is located north of Double Branch Road and adjoins existing PUDs including Honey Farm and Green Mills Road developments. The Planning Commission recommended this as a comprehensive plan amendment, though staff found the property has historically been designated as rural and is designated as "Protect" under the Areas of Change policy, limiting expectations for significant character changes.
21-0311 — Single family residential subdivision (Phase 2A)
This case involves a planned development amendment for Phase 2A of the Bear Springs residential subdivision by Meritage Homes, with modifications including the loss of 7 lots due to stream location, reorientation of corner lots, addition of open space for trail connections, and a detention pond along Rock Springs Road. Developers should review the modified site plan, reduced lot count, and infrastructure requirements to assess impacts on project timing and costs.
25-0390 — Single Family Homes
This case involves a revision to the Bear Springs Planned Unit Development (PUD) master plan and preliminary plat to accommodate single-family homes. The applicant is amending the final PUD master plan from a previously approved preliminary PUD master plan. Developers tracking residential development approvals in the Bear Springs area should monitor this revision.
25-0422 — Assisted Living Center and Memory Care Facility
This case involves a Preliminary PUD Master Plan for a 111,000 SF Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility on a 9.4-acre vacant site within an existing PUD-MU district. The applicant is requesting multiple design deviations from PUD-MU standards, including building site widths exceeding the 180-foot maximum, reduced frontage buildout percentages, and increased parking spaces beyond the required ratio. Approval would establish the master plan framework for this institutional healthcare use in a mixed-use planned development.
25-0407 — 1-bedroom residential dwelling with individual subsurface sewage disposal system
This case seeks an exception to Engineering Standards Section 5.12.2, which requires minimum 1-acre lot sizes for individual disposal systems; the applicant's 0.35-acre lot already has state approval for a 1-bedroom septic system. If denied, the property would be unbuildable under current standards despite having water availability and state environmental permits in place.
17-2025 — Historic district inclusion (adaptive reuse/renovation)
This petition seeks to add 810 Woodland Street—a historic Lincoln Mercury dealership building from the late 1930s—into the Downtown Columbia Historic District. The property lies immediately adjacent to the current historic district boundary, separated only by Alliance Alley, and would expand the district to encompass Columbia's automotive heritage corridor known as "Moto Alley." Approval would subject the property to historic design standards for any future rehabilitation or reuse, likely affecting exterior modifications and adaptive use decisions.
25-0425 — Commercial
The property at 810 Woodland Street is being rezoned/designated as part of the Downtown Commercial Historic District, recognizing its historic automotive-related association and 20th-century commercial architecture. The Historic Zoning Commission has already submitted a favorable recommendation after determining the property meets all applicable criteria for historic designation. This case matters to developers considering projects in the Downtown Commercial Historic District, as designation will impose additional historic preservation review requirements.
08-2025 — rezoning
This rezoning request seeks to change three adjacent parcels at 601 & 605 W 7th Street from CD-4 (General Urban Character District) to CD-5, aligning the zoning with the City Center Urban Village future land use designation in the Connect Columbia plan. The change would support a higher density, mixed-use development consistent with the area's designated urban village character.
24-1102 — Mixed use - 22 unit condo building with parking garage
This rezoning request seeks to change 1.29 acres from CD-4 to CD-5 zoning to accommodate a 22-unit residential condominium building with 38 parking spaces in a proposed garage. The property is located within the 7th Street Historic District, requiring additional historic zoning approval, and will need to comply with the 2-3 story height requirement adjacent to non-CD-5 zoning, along with sewer main relocation and utility coordination.
25-0392 — Multi-family residential with commercial space
This rezoning request seeks to upzone the property from CD-4 to CD-5 to allow a 22-unit multi-family building with ground-floor commercial space, increasing density from 12 units/acre to unrestricted density. The property is located within the West 7th Street Historic District Overlay, requiring exterior design approval from the Historic Zoning Commission. The rezoning is consistent with Columbia's City Center Urban Village future land use designation and the "activate" area of change policy encouraging beneficial development in this core urban area.
25-0391 — Single-Family Residential
The Reserve at Hickory Ridge Phase 1B Final Plat seeks approval to create 40 single-family residential lots on 155.5 acres zoned CD-3, conforming to previously approved preliminary plat standards. A $690,000 surety has been submitted, and the final plat must be recorded within 60 days of Planning Commission approval.
R3067-708 — plat

All utilities are being placed underground per city requirements.
21-1752 — plat
This case involves the platting of a mixed-use subdivision Phase 1 that creates 8 lots and dedicates right-of-way on property zoned CD-4 in Columbia. The project is subject to the city's zoning regulations and development standards as administered by the Department of Development Services.
25-0423 — Mixed Use
Hampshire Pk/Steadfast Phase 1 is seeking approval for a Final Plat to establish eight lots and dedicate right-of-way as part of a larger multi-phase mixed-use development previously approved at preliminary plat stage in October 2021. This plat approval is a required step for the project to proceed with infrastructure and lot development.
