OW-40-28 — site_plan
This is a site plan amendment (Revision 7) to the Westhaven PUD development that modifies building heights, reorganizes site layout to better conform to Westhaven design standards, and reconfigures the road network. The changes include increasing one active adult facility building from 4 stories to 5 stories and removing a road connection to Highway 96 W, while other aspects of the previously approved plan remain unchanged.
26-0960 — Mixed-use development (3,441 dwelling units and 250,000 SF nonresidential space)
This is a development plan revision for the existing 1,520-acre Westhaven PUD requesting a single modification of standards to allow surety bonds in lieu of irrevocable standby letters of credit for performance agreements. The revision does not propose any changes to entitlements, unit count, or land uses—only a procedural change to allow the developer greater flexibility in securing development obligations. Staff recommends approval as the surety bond option meets requirements under the current zoning ordinance.
26-0501 — Mixed-use development with residential (187 multifamily units), retail, commercial, and restaurant uses
This mixed-use PUD development proposes 187 multifamily units and 75,000 square feet of nonresidential space (retail, commercial, restaurant) on 20.33 acres, with modifications to signage regulations (irregular shapes, canopy signs, blade signs) and building frontage standards. Staff recommends approval with conditions, with support from the Historic Zoning Commission for the overall design concept that aligns with the Factory District vision in Envision Franklin.
S07-21 — Multi-family and Commercial
Franklin 240, LLC seeks to rezone approximately 20.33 acres at 318 Franklin Road and Harpeth Industrial Court from Estate Residential and Light Industrial to a Planned Development district allowing 9.2 dwelling units per acre and 75,000 square feet of commercial use. The project proposes multi-family residential and commercial development on properties subject to Heritage Homestead Overlay, Historic Preservation, Commercial Facade, and Site Compatibility overlays.
26-0500 — 187 multifamily units and 75,000 square feet of nonresidential uses
This 20.33-acre rezoning from Estate Residential and Light Industrial to Planned District would enable development of the Harpeth Village PUD with 187 multifamily units and 75,000 square feet of nonresidential space in Franklin's Factory District. The project aligns with Envision Franklin's vision for high-quality mixed-use development featuring architecture, plazas, outdoor dining, and pedestrian amenities. Staff recommends approval as the rezoning meets comprehensive plan recommendations and supports responsible growth in the Factory District location.
22-133 — Self-storage facility (696 units) with retail space
Woodduck Partners, LLC proposes a six-story mixed-use self-storage facility with 696 storage units and 1,040 SF of retail space on a 1.65-acre lot in Franklin Commons South Subdivision, currently zoned RC6 (Regional Commercial 6). The 110,736 SF building stands 86 feet tall and will significantly densify this site with a commercial storage and retail use.
26-0957 — Self-storage facility (6-story, 110,736 square feet)
This case seeks a two-year extension of vested rights for an approved 110,736 square foot, 6-story self-storage facility on 1.65 acres in the RC6 district. The extension is needed because the owner is currently using the lot as a construction staging area for adjacent projects, which won't be completed until late 2027, delaying the start of site preparation. Approval would maintain the project's entitlements under the 2024 development standards; denial would require the project to be re-approved under current regulations, though staff notes the differences are minor.
A-300-95 — Mixed-use office (58,200 SF) and warehouse (20,500 SF) subdivision with 7 buildings
This is a request for a 36-month extension to a preliminary plat originally approved in 2016 for a mixed-use subdivision (58,200 SF office and 20,500 SF warehouse) with 7 planned buildings. Three buildings were completed and occupied by 2019, but construction of the remaining four buildings was suspended due to pandemic and office market challenges; the applicant is now seeking to resume development.
N26-13 — plat
This is a preliminary plat for a subdivision of 7.30 acres on Duke Drive that creates four commercial lots (ranging from approximately 1.82 to 2.29 acres each) in the Light Industrial district. The project involves consolidation and resubdivision of existing parcels, removal of all existing structures, and construction of new utility infrastructure including water, sewer, and access easements.
26-0938 — plat
This is a request to extend vested development rights for the 508 Duke Drive Subdivision preliminary plat by 3 years (until September 22, 2029) to allow completion of site plans and construction on remaining lots. The property was originally approved as a 4-lot nonresidential subdivision in 2016, but development has been suspended since 2020; without extension, the developer would need to comply with current zoning standards that substantially differ from the vested 2014 ordinance, potentially reducing buildable area. Staff recommends the Planning Commission determine whether the extension is in the community's best interest given the project's incomplete status and changed development standards.
23-106 — Rosa Helm Storage
This is a site plan approval for a 1.65-acre storage facility at 175 Rosa Helm Way in the RC6 zone. The project involves 1.4 acres of disturbance requiring erosion and sediment control measures, stormwater management, and compliance with riparian buffer requirements along Watsons Branch.

Staff recommends approval with conditions, and this case is on the consent agenda, indicating routine approval is expected.
FMC23-111 — Residential subdivision (The Preserve at Sheridan PUD Subdivision)
This is a final plat for The Preserve at Sheridan PUD Subdivision, a residential development with approximately 15 dwelling units. The project involves dedication of right-of-way for South Berry's Chapel Road and implementation of riparian buffer zones with mitigation areas, along with stormwater management infrastructure including multiple ponds and bio-retention areas.
22-0131 — plat
This final plat subdivides approximately 52.6 acres into 15 residential lots and 10 open space lots within an existing Planned Development district.

The development dedicates right-of-way and includes 8 open space lots with parking and landscaping to meet city standards. Approval is conditioned on procedural requirements including mylar submission, corrected plat uploads, and satisfaction of all conditions noted in the planning commission approval.
TN7343-001 — Mixed-use commercial development: 3,000 SF butcher shop, 12,000 SF retail (across multiple tenants including 6,000 SF retail, 4,800 SF retail, 1,200 SF retail), and 3,888 SF convenience store/gas station with canopy
This is a site plan amendment for a mixed-use commercial development (butcher shop, retail, and convenience store/gas station) on 5.35 acres already zoned Neighborhood Commercial. The project includes enhanced tree preservation (1.10 acres or 62% of existing canopy), exceeds parking requirements (112 spaces vs. 111 required), and complies with open space and landscape standards. A previously approved variance (December 2023, Board of Zoning Appeals) reduced a transitional buffer from 25 feet to 11 feet for site entrance alignment.
26-0819 — Retail (12,000 SF), butcher shop (3,500 SF), convenience store/gas station (3,888 SF)
This case involves a one-year extension of vested rights for a 5.35-acre site plan originally approved in 2021, which includes a 12,000 sq ft retail space, 3,500 sq ft butcher shop, and 3,888 sq ft gas station/convenience store. The applicant has not yet pulled permits or begun site work, and approval of this extension will preserve existing entitlements under the 2021 development standards. If the extension is denied, a new site plan would be required and reviewed against current zoning standards, though the proposed uses remain permitted in the Neighborhood Commercial district.
03-2023 — EMS Station (Essential Services - 6,180 SF) with associated parking and drive aisles
The site is being rezoned from CI (Civic & Institutional) to PD (Planned District) to accommodate a new 6,180 SF EMS station on an existing 104-acre church property. The development includes approximately 2.2 acres of disturbance in the northwest corner for the station, parking, drive aisles, and utility extensions. The site is subject to multiple overlays including Historic Preservation, Scenic Corridor, Central Franklin, and Flood Fringe overlays.
26-0781 — County ambulance and emergency services facility (6,180 sq ft nonresidential addition)
This case seeks a two-year extension of vesting rights for the Franklin First United Methodist Church PUD, extending the development deadline from October 10, 2026 to October 10, 2028. The project involves a 104-acre planned development with 207,500 square feet of nonresidential space, including a new county EMS/ambulance facility. If the extension is not approved, the current entitlements will expire and a new development plan must be submitted under current zoning standards.
26-0796 — other
This case involves adoption of the 2026 Transit Master Plan for Franklin, a 10-year strategic transportation plan addressing the city's rapid growth and increasing transit mobility needs. The plan includes capital investment recommendations, service improvements (such as microtransit pilots and route modifications), and financial projections that will shape regional transportation infrastructure development.
18-106 — Mixed-use development comprising 750,000 SF office space, 100,000 SF retail/restaurant, 700 hotel keys, and 480 multifamily residential units

Developers should note the project requires reduced parking ratios (1.75 spaces per unit vs. standard 1.25-2.25), modified open space requirements, and allowances for infrastructure within the historic buffer adjacent to a potentially National Register-eligible church property. Staff recommends approval with conditions, pending BOMA sign-off on the concurrent rezoning ordinance (ORD 2026-15).
26-0657 — 97-unit multifamily residential development (Denson Place PUD) with 67 new units and 30 existing units
The Franklin Housing Authority is rezoning 5.14 acres from PD to PD 21.70 to develop the Denson Place PUD with 97 total multifamily units (67 new units plus 30 existing) at a density of 21.70 DUA. The project includes 2-3 story buildings with infrastructure improvements to water, sewer, and stormwater systems, and staff recommends approval as consistent with the Envision Franklin comprehensive plan.

26-0666 — Two commercial/industrial lots
This case involves the subdivision of a 5.7-acre Light Industrial zoned property at 115 Carr Avenue into two commercial lots. No site plan or development plan for the new lots has been submitted, so the specific future uses remain undefined pending subsequent approvals. Staff recommends approval of the final plat with conditions, including submission of Mylars and compliance with various technical and infrastructure requirements.
26-0668 — plat
This is a final plat for Franklin Ridge Subdivision Section 2, creating 20 single-family residential lots on 9.43 acres of R2-zoned property.

97-104 — Harlin PUD Subdivision - Mixed residential, commercial, and mixed-use development
The Harlin PUD development plan for a mixed-use subdivision includes 15 modifications of development standards (building elements, parking, glazing, open space). Key conditions require offsite infrastructure improvements including extension of Mack Hatcher Parkway to Chimeric Drive and a new road to Hillview Lane, with completion required before the 151st residential building permit. This represents a significant mixed-use development that may affect area traffic patterns and infrastructure.
04-2026 — Institutional space
This is a vested rights extension for the Franklin Grove Subdivision, extending development entitlements by one year (until April 27, 2027) to allow the applicant to secure permits and commence site preparation. The 5.19-acre institutional project with 1,535 square feet of additional space is substantially compliant with current zoning standards. Without the extension, the project would lose its vesting and require new approvals under current development standards, including updated traffic studies and Historic Zoning Commission certificates.

26-0364 — Mixed-use development: 1,525 multifamily dwelling units, 69 townhouse dwelling units, 1,655,000 square feet of nonresidential space, and 350 hotel keys
The Ovation PUD is seeking approval of 15 additional modifications to development standards (previously approved with 8 modifications in Revision 2), primarily affecting on-street parking, loading zones, and signage regulations. Staff recommends approval with conditions on modifications 1-6 and 8-15, recommending disapproval of angled parking (MOS #1), LED interactive displays (MOS #7), LED display screens (MOS #8), and internal illumination for small hanging signs (MOS #12). This amendment maintains the existing density and entitlements while accommodating design flexibility for the 103.93-acre mixed-use development.

The revision amends building types, parking, and reconfigures open space with no increase in overall entitlements. Developers should monitor this if they have interests in the Berry Farms mixed-use development or are competitors in the Franklin market.
26-0365 — Mixed-use development with office, multifamily residential, hotel, and commercial uses
Berry Farms Town Center PUD is requesting approval of a revised development plan for the 197.82-acre planned development that adjusts office and multifamily use locations, parking garage configuration, and open space layout in Blocks C and D. The revision maintains the approved entitlements of 1,077 dwelling units, 1,050,926 square feet of nonresidential space, and 345 hotel rooms, with no changes to density or development rights. Staff recommends approval with conditions.
26-0370 — Residential subdivision (259 dwelling units)
This is a minor revision to the Colletta Park PUD that removes 0.55 acres of open space to allow a neighboring property better road access. The density increases slightly from 1.26 to 1.27 dwelling units per acre, but the number of units (259) and overall development character remain unchanged. The revision requires rezoning of the PUD classification to reflect the new density.
26-0371 — Residential (Single-family homes and townhouses)
This rezoning request covers approximately 204.89 acres for the Colletta Park PUD Subdivision, proposing to rezone 204.34 acres from PD 1.26 to PD 1.27 and 0.55 acres from PD 1.26 to R-1. The project involves a mix of single-family residential homes and townhouses aligned with Envision Franklin's Single Family Residential and Mixed Residential design concepts. Staff recommends approval as the development plan revision maintains consistency with city planning goals and does not change unit counts or uses from the existing development.
01-2024 — Mixed-use village development with residential, commercial, hotel, and neighborhood amenities
The Harlin PUD development plan includes multiple Modifications of Standards (MOSs) and design modifications affecting mixed-use village development with residential, commercial, and hotel uses across 311 acres in Franklin's city limits. Staff has recommended approval with conditions on most MOSs, though some require revisions to parking calculations, building heights, stormwater management, and riparian buffer impacts. Developers should monitor the numerous conditions regarding unit distribution across mixed-use lots, parking requirements, and offsite improvements to Coleman Road and Mack Hatcher Parkway before proceeding.
30-2022 — Walkable mixed-use neighborhood with single-family homes, attached residential (townhouses, condominiums), boutique inn, small-scale commercial uses, and preserved open space
This case involves a 311-acre Planned Development amendment for the Harlin Farm project, which will convert historic agricultural land into a walkable Village Green-style neighborhood. The project seeks modifications to design standards for residential and commercial buildings, parking requirements, and pedestrian infrastructure to align with the mixed-use, nature-focused development pattern. Multiple requested modifications to setbacks, facade standards, and building orientation could affect similar development patterns throughout Franklin.
92-105 — Mixed-use planned development including residential units (townhouses, multifamily), commercial, and mixed-use buildings with neighborhood amenities and pocket parks
This case involves approval of a Development Plan for Harlin PUD Subdivision with 15 modifications to development standards covering building elements, parking, glazing, sidewalks, and open space. Developers should note that the project includes significant variances from standard zoning requirements for mixed-use development and is subject to multiple conditions including off-site infrastructure improvements and phased development triggers.
21-0458 — Mixed-use development including 242 residential units, 32,000 square feet of nonresidential space, 80 hotel keys, with variety of housing types (single family, townhouse, duplex, multifamily)
This case involves approval of the Harlin PUD Subdivision development plan with 242 residential units, commercial space, and a boutique hotel on approximately 200+ acres with 15 modifications of development standards. The project includes revised offsite improvements requiring extension of Mack Hatcher Parkway and new road connections to be completed before the 151st residential unit or Phase 2 commercial certificates of occupancy. Developers should monitor the amended Condition #30 regarding infrastructure completion timelines and phasing caps on residential unit development.
26-0362 — Educational facility / institutional space (Franklin Grove Subdivision)
This case seeks a one-year extension of vested property rights for the Franklin Grove Subdivision, an educational/institutional project on 5.19 acres in the CI district. The applicant must secure permits and commence site preparation by April 27, 2027 to maintain development rights under standards in effect as of April 2023. Without this extension, the project would lose its vesting and be required to comply with current development standards and obtain new approvals including a traffic study and historic preservation certificates.
17-2013 — Mixed-use development with 1,594 residential units (1,525 multi-family, 69 townhouses), 350 hotel keys, and 1,655,000 SF of commercial/office space
The Ovation PUD Development Plan Revision 4 seeks modifications to standards for on-street parking, building frontage setbacks, and extensive signage provisions (15 modifications total) on a 103.93-acre mixed-use development in southeast Franklin. The project will generate significant infrastructure demands including 2,508.6 SFUE of sanitary sewer capacity, require water main relocation, and add approximately 34,266 daily vehicle trips to Carothers Parkway and McEwen Drive. This is a grandfathered entitlement (vested in 2014) that will not change unit counts or density but allows design flexibility for the developer to accommodate activated open spaces and modern signage standards.
26-0360 — Single-family residential subdivision
This final plat for Westhaven PUD Subdivision creates one new single-family lot and revises lot lines for existing lots 2575-2579 within an established Planned Development district. The project requires FMPC approval for lot creation and must resolve outstanding conditions related to utility easements and site plan consistency before recording.
26-0354 — plat
This is a final plat revision for Lot 2 of the Spring Street Subdivision (11.09 acres, zoned PD District) that dedicates right-of-way to the City of Franklin and adjusts lot boundaries accordingly. The dedication is associated with improvements related to the approved Franktown Open Hearts Subdivision site plan. Staff recommends approval with conditions addressing easements, utility labeling, addressing, right-of-way documentation, and coordination with the related site plan.
04-0312P — Resubdivision creating 2 lots
This case involves the final subdivision plat for the Maupin Property, resubdividing Lot 1 into 2 lots totaling 2.49 acres. The project requires compliance with city infrastructure standards for streets, drainage, sidewalks, water, sewer, and utility systems. Developers should review all recorded conditions and easements affecting the property before proceeding with development.
26-0308 — plat
This final plat subdivision creates two lots from a 2.49-acre R-1 residential property at 152 Mallory Station Road, requiring dedication of right-of-way along the Mallory Station Road frontage and establishment/abandonment of utility easements. Developers interested in residential development or land subdivision activity in this area should monitor the conditions related to ROW dedication requirements for the Major Collector road and demolition permit requirements for existing structures.
09-2021 — Residential subdivision with 42 residential lots, 2 open space lots, and dedicated public right-of-way
This final plat for Westhaven P.U.D. Subdivision, Section 69 creates 42 residential lots on approximately 103 acres within an existing Planned Development zone, dedicating over 2 acres for public right-of-way. The development includes two open space lots, green infrastructure features, riparian buffers, and utilities infrastructure serving the residential community.
05-2026 — plat
This is a replat of Section 66 within the Westhaven P.U.D. subdivision, consolidating portions of existing lots and open space from prior sections. The plat establishes lot divisions, infrastructure, and riparian buffer zones for a planned development area bounded by Stonewater Boulevard and other local streets.
08-103 — plat
This final plat for Westhaven P.U.D. Section 69 creates 42 residential lots and 2 open space lots on approximately 103.24 acres in Franklin, with special attention to an existing cemetery gravesite that requires a 10-foot buffer perimeter. Developers should be aware of the cemetery constraints and the dedication of 2.03 acres for public right of way on this planned development property.
26-0306 — Single-family residential subdivision (42 single-family lots, 2 open space lots)
This final plat approval for Section 69 of Westhaven PUD creates 42 single-family residential lots and 2 open space lots on 14.02 acres within an existing Planned Development district. The approval is subject to multiple conditions addressing plat corrections, easement specifications, and compliance with the Hillside/Hillcrest Overlay district requirements.
21-0085 — Resubdivision creating 4 lots within Aureum PUD; includes multi-family apartment development with recreational facilities
This is a resubdivision of Lot 1 within the Aureum PUD creating four new lots on approximately 15.25 acres zoned Planned Development. The project includes a multi-family apartment development with associated recreational facilities and parkland dedication. Developers should note the PD zoning constraints, setback requirements, utility easements, and the developer's commitment to construct $1.3M+ in parkland improvements over a multi-year phased timeline.
21-055 — Subdivision creating 4 lots with easement establishment and abandonment
This case involves the approval of a final plat for the Aureum PUD Subdivision that will create four lots on 15.25 acres already zoned as Planned District. The final plat is consistent with the development plan previously approved in September 2025 and staff recommends approval.
21-2014 — Single-family residential cluster development with open space preservation
This case involves amending the Conservation Design Concept boundaries on a 202-acre property in central Franklin to enable future residential cluster development. Staff recommends approval with the condition that Area C (a 1.01-acre forested area on Mack Hatcher Parkway) remain in the Conservation Design Concept to preserve existing forest canopy and viewshed impacts from the National Register-listed Ropers Knob.
12-2022 — Mixed-use residential development with 275 dwelling units including multifamily (254 units), single family (6 units), duplexes (12 units), and townhouses (3 units)
This 7.2-acre residential development ("The Middle Eight") proposes 275 mixed-use dwelling units on currently R-4 zoned land, requiring a Planned District overlay that allows increased density (38.2 DU/acre) and mixed building types from single-family to five-story multifamily. The project includes parkland dedication fees of $1,183,600 and involves a 75-foot naturalistic screening conservation easement to preserve the Alpheus Truett Historic House, affecting adjacent property values and neighborhood character in central Franklin.
04-2023 — Multifamily residential (254 units), single-family residential, townhouses, duplexes (21 units), and limited restaurant/café retail
This case involves a Planned Development overlay (PD 38.19/3000) on a 7.2-acre mixed-use residential project called "The Middle Eight" that will include 254 multifamily units, 21 single-family/townhouse/duplex units, and limited retail with restaurant/café uses. The development includes a modification of standards request for reduced residential parking minimums and is subject to historic preservation overlays and conditions on building heights, including a 75-foot naturalistic screening easement between the project and the adjacent Alpheus Truett House.
26-0212 — Middle Eight PUD Subdivision - 275 dwelling units and 3,000 square feet of nonresidential space
This case extends vested property rights for the Middle Eight PUD Subdivision by three years (through August 8, 2029), allowing the developer to obtain permits and commence site preparation before losing current entitlements. If the vesting period expires without action, the project would lose approval and require re-review against current standards. The extension preserves the developer's ability to build 275 dwelling units with modified parking standards originally approved in the 2023 PUD.
20-1478 — plat
This replat revises lot lines for lots 2575-2579 and adds lot 2616 within the Westhaven PUD, which is zoned for mixed-use development with non-residential and residential components. The revision supersedes the previous Section Jewell-2 Revision 1 plat and establishes new lot configurations within the T4 Transect Zone of the Westhaven Concept Plan.
26-0219 — plat
Carothers Park Plaza Subdivision is a final plat creating two lots (one buildable, one open space) on 5.35 acres zoned Neighborhood Commercial. The plat was approved administratively as a site plan amendment in February 2026 and now requires Planning Commission approval to finalize lot creation. This is a straightforward subdivision in an established commercial district with no rezoning or major use changes requested.
26-0198 — Open space lot with stormwater features
This case involves approval of a final subdivision plat adding one open space lot to Westhaven PUD Section 33 on 1.24 acres containing stormwater management features. The plat is consistent with the existing development plan and a previously approved site plan amendment. Staff recommends approval with conditions, which is a routine administrative matter for the existing planned development.
26-0197 — Single-family residential lots within Westhaven PUD Subdivision
This final plat creates one new single-family lot and revises lot lines for five existing lots within the Westhaven PUD Subdivision on 10.244 acres. The project is consistent with the approved development plan and requires FMPC approval. Developers should note outstanding conditions related to utility easement sizing and site plan consistency.
26-0196 — 29 single-family lots, 3 townhome lots, and 2 open space lots
This is a final plat for Westhaven PUD Subdivision Section Jewell 4 that creates 34 total lots (29 single-family, 3 townhome, and 2 open space) on 14.02 acres within an existing Planned Development. The project is approved by staff subject to standard conditions including alignment with the previously approved site plan and resolution of infrastructure requirements.
26-0195 — Correctional Facility / Juvenile Justice Center
This site plan approval for the Williamson County Juvenile Justice Center at 306 Beasley Drive will develop 76,823 square feet of civic space on 6.13 acres within the Heavy Industrial District. The project replaces an approved county-owned building and is not expected to create adverse impacts beyond the original approval for police, fire, solid waste, and recreational facilities.
25-0419 — plat
This is a subdivision plat to divide Lot 68 of Town of Franklin Subdivision into 2 lots (with the new lot to be labeled Lot 189) in the Downtown District with historic preservation overlay. The property is 0.59 acres located in downtown Franklin and subject to setback requirements and easement restrictions for water, sewer, electric, and building maintenance access.
26-0194 — plat
This is a final plat for the Town of Franklin Subdivision, Lot 68, creating one commercial lot from 0.59 acres in the Downtown District. The consolidation has received Historic Zoning Commission approval and no additional site or development plans have been submitted, so this is a straightforward subdivision matter with minimal immediate development implications.
03-2025 — Conservation overlay adjustment to align HHO boundaries with revised Conservation Design Concept
This case involves revising the Hillside Hillcrest Overlay (HHO) district boundaries on a 202.60-acre Estate Residential property to align with an approved Envision Franklin Conservation Design Concept amendment, though the applicant omitted approximately 1.4 acres of protected area that the Planning Commission previously determined should be preserved. Staff recommends denial because the proposal does not fully implement the conservation boundaries established in the September 2025 Plan Amendment, particularly regarding protection of existing tree buffers and stone walls adjacent to residential properties on Ash Drive.
21-056 — Single-family residential
This final plat creates one formal single-family residential lot on 1.16 acres in the R-4 district for an existing house at 1051 West Main Street. The property is subject to Central Franklin Overlay and Historic Preservation Overlay restrictions. Staff recommends approval without conditions.
11-1107 — plat

This is a revision to the Ovation PUD Development Plan (Revision 3) involving updates to internal roadway design, building placement, distribution of uses, and building heights on a 104-acre mixed-use development. No entitlement changes or rezoning is required; the parking structure along Carothers Parkway is now screened by a building, eliminating a prior Modification of Standards request. The uses remain residential, commercial, and hotel, maintaining alignment with Envision Franklin and zoning requirements.
24-2025 — Agricultural
This case involves annexation of 79.89 acres into the City of Franklin and proposed rezoning to AG (agricultural) zoning to maintain the property's current agricultural use. The property is located within the Franklin Urban Growth Boundary and is adjacent to land within the city limits owned by the same property owner.
