The proposal covers approximately 47,166 square feet of mixed office and retail space across four buildings, with shared access from Allen Sewert Way and Pilot Place. The applicant shows 231 parking spaces (207 required) and nine handicap spaces (seven required). Landscaping is proposed along the site and in many parking islands; however staff noted trees along Sam Ridley Parkway are shown within the state right-of-way and will require Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) approval before final acceptance of the landscaping plan.

Staff also flagged three operational items for the applicant to resolve: revise the internal road width to meet the fire department’s 26-foot minimum for areas serving buildings over 30 feet tall; confirm no fire-department connections (FDCs) are located on the buildings and ensure an FDC is within 100 feet of the required fire hydrant; and confirm that Buildings A and C will be sprinkled (staff recorded a 1,750 gpm at 20 PSI fire-flow minimum for the site). Staff and the fire department indicated these items were resolvable through a redesign and coordination with the applicant.

Commissioners asked about traffic and whether a traffic signal would be installed at the San Ridley Parkway entrance; staff said the developer is pursuing a signal and is in design with TDOT and that other road improvements (additional lanes and turn lanes at nearby Motlow College) are planned in coordination with the project. The motion to approve the site plan with the outstanding staff comments passed by voice vote. Final permits and acceptance of landscaping along Sam Ridley Parkway will depend on TDOT’s formal written approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - 02/06/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved the Sewerts Landing outparcels site plan (mixed office/retail ~47,166 sq ft) but required TDOT permission for landscaping within the Sam Ridley Parkway right-of-way and adjustments to meet fire-department roadway-width and fire-flow requirements.","taxTitle","Smyrna, Rutherford County, Tennessee","taxId",7984,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6347867,"Commission approves Linwood preliminary plat with garage-setback condition",663,1855000,2518000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404&start=1855&end=2518","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404/thumbnail_1855000.jpg","/articles/6347867/Smyrna/Rutherford-County/Tennessee/Commission-approves-Linwood-preliminary-plat-with-garage-setback-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6347867-7e3d7f1b944ae8eb285a4cfbc53b5767/orig.mp4?Expires=1777438630&Signature=LKfNSg4tqrYXjioG3Z-fEJ~bOZaI2vdSWt6uNAVM9JbwgKo5Et3BurVQqCfJ3uIBvSIqRSh4i4AT8CjmUeDieIIQnO0VqxyqxzFWDq9E2xT7EWscnQqZFhW2aoDHnfyO455QvaYbEtLZSciTKo0N4XUdn9txTHEEnQ2-VbOC3OEN2VN5TY3H01PnUInVU1fxW-NCIr9nxJdGf-BVhnZQNFENSjex5OKWm~sylOYtGeLfqVtpRWJCkxOgMzOQ8AsF9jYwFPWaVFUaPErySGFBnoWOLE5pw3oKvXoIEqTqIa3wMfvSID5twGnwQgvAo6gp6mBZ0SYgkQ7~HDrv-KGLxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission approved the Linwood subdivision preliminary plat (Section 1, phases 1 and 2) at its Feb. 6 meeting, with the commission specifying that garages must be set back 35 feet while elevations may be permitted at a 25-foot setback. Staff recommended approval contingent on resolving several technical items.

Staff told commissioners the application addressed many earlier comments: contours were labeled at two-foot intervals, stream-buffer labeling was added, and the applicant revised utility and sidewalk connectivity plans. Outstanding items that remain on the staff comment list include road-name approval (E911), several public-utility and drainage easements that must be shown on plat sheets for specific lots, and coordination with the Rutherford County Highway Department where proposed work will encroach in the county right-of-way.

Commissioners and staff discussed parking and garage setbacks at length. Because the project’s original PRD approvals predated current ordinance changes and its vesting period had expired, staff said the development must meet current parking requirements (four parking spaces per house and a 35-foot garage setback) even though some original PRD standards remained fixed (lot sizes were not subject to change). Commissioners approved language permitting a 25-foot elevation setback for living areas while maintaining the 35-foot garage setback to ensure driveway stacking and on-lot parking meet current rules.

A motion to approve the preliminary plat with staff comments and the specified setback condition passed by voice vote. Staff will verify road-name approvals, confirm required public-utility easements are shown for specified lots, and ensure the traffic-study coordination identified with adjacent developments is completed before final plat recordation.","The commission approved the Linwood subdivision preliminary plat (Section 1, Phases 1 and 2) with conditions tied to parking, stream buffers and garage setbacks; staff will require several outstanding items to be cleared before final platting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6347872,"Planning commission denies request to rezone Enon Springs Road West parcel to PRD",1048,575000,1623000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404&start=575&end=1623","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404/thumbnail_575000.jpg","/articles/6347872/Smyrna/Rutherford-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-denies-request-to-rezone-Enon-Springs-Road-West-parcel-to-PRD","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6347872-94c9e02173c1091e304f6c095e4224f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1777438630&Signature=fgpHdAznn5VDVZxF8iTykErHyebKjOaGYBPC7XWyz5eUSFXDy2nA5LHDhC7S9epRdp04z0sHfBTtys2fZf~e7D79aUeZpYwMG16m32elA3voahCQWiz-4SrD6ej~cWWN07C~ZvHo-pQcQ~DTsN1PbT7q5-m~oP2qHZ69A~thqXEviPfKRAYkXDbzB95SHTONWn9geRYRSkY5KP3NHH0U8boHUzfPpEB4EJaeOE3sKjEWfqG9-genkXDb-Vxbtkmettc3qYhzwsSMcMJBsSZqccXjm6hPkuEpGHY2SP~64TYkBniAZ-QXSB0yzQXh1jecrppmTXg5vqsXWhaIgilm5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Smyrna Municipal Planning Commission on Feb. 6 denied a request by House on the Rock LLC to rezone a parcel on Enon Springs Road West from C2 (general commercial) to Planned Residential Development (PRD), a request that would have allowed 35 townhome units.

Commissioners said the parcel is surrounded by commercial zoning (C2 and C3) and several members called the proposal a potential spot zone that was inconsistent with the immediate context. Staff noted the town’s Future Land Use Plan lists the area as part of the Depot District character area, which supports a mixture of retail, office and attached residential, but multiple commissioners said the current request did not align with surrounding uses.

Staff report details that the applicant revised design elements after earlier reviews: parking and unit proximity were changed to meet the ordinance requirement that parking spaces serving residential units be within 60 feet, and the applicant confirmed the units would be offered for sale rather than rental. Staff also flagged outstanding items: a bus shelter was shown within right-of-way (staff requested relocation), and CSX easement confirmation in writing was required for patios, playgrounds and HVAC placement near the railroad.

The commission entertained public input from Jack Parker of Catalyst Design Group, who identified himself as the civil engineer representing the applicant and described adjustments to the plan including reducing the unit count (previously 41, now 35), increasing open space to roughly 30% and providing garages for most units. Commissioners questioned the choice to place residential uses amid commercial parcels and asked whether making the units “live-work” along the Enon Springs frontage would change opinions; several commissioners said it would not.

A motion to deny the rezoning request, made and seconded by commissioners on zoning‑consistency grounds, was approved by voice vote. The motion as recorded in the meeting minutes cited inconsistent zoning as the basis for denial.","The commission voted to deny a C2-to-PRD rezoning request from House on the Rock LLC that would have allowed 35 townhomes; commissioners cited surrounding commercial zoning and concerns about spot zoning and compatibility.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6347877,"Smyrna planning commission approves multiple plats and site plans, denies one rezoning; several items deferred",3765,150000,3915000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404&start=150&end=3915","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2244254-ca06732f8dbdcecf4dea04576ce1e404/thumbnail_150000.jpg","/articles/6347877/Smyrna/Rutherford-County/Tennessee/Smyrna-planning-commission-approves-multiple-plats-and-site-plans-denies-one-rezoning-several-items-deferred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6347877-9898daa907d68f5b02c2544233f822dd/orig.mp4?Expires=1777438630&Signature=aM7QQ~KTXiH86QyVRH77VsrPwQSYk12GF~DQtGcXU8E9ImS5RJggVSlvNkOhNl5dDRIbqyF7T6xi6LedEFAVaL9tEKFnwEYK5dOlr7DI93a3l64z5iQ9i68JHKulCHQwOhJQ09DHNHq7vk1GWk4Zr1rd1CzJAK9kvokjLQ4N-a74oft0jRdLKgBY6mOCIFbN8HhjQ0FWuVc17gJnCM7lbdlVLPgzOstJuzrVhFuKdVzANOpBophexp8Anq~z1wOuD6UqYWr8FhZWH7m~Gfqff17qTKijrJQNkElYwSaiqDnv~FQ2H1wyVw-BtPs~BebvvX9CfmonyjXLk3vRpWAeJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Smyrna Municipal Planning Commission members on Feb. 6 approved a slate of plats, site plans and a rezoning request to industrial use, denied a separate rezoning request for residential development, and deferred several items for one month.

The commission approved site plans and plats including 7 Brew Coffee (site plan), Sewerts Landing outparcels, Bridal Salinger Way, Bridal Downs Section 1 Phase 1, Riley Downs Section 1 Phase 2 and the Linwood preliminary plat (Section 1, phases 1 and 2). It also approved a rezoning from C2 to I1 for a tract on Trident Drive (Caravan Ventures) and accepted the February bond review report with staff recommendations. The commission denied a request by House on the Rock LLC to rezone a parcel on Enon Springs Road West from C2 to PRD.

Several items were deferred: the preliminary plat for Estates at Williamsport was deferred for one month; Rocky Fort Bridal (applicant Janet Ibrahim) was deferred one month; and other routine deferrals were recorded where applicants requested more time.

Votes at a glance (motions and outcomes recorded in meeting minutes):
Estates at Williamsport (preliminary plat) — Motion to defer one month: deferred (voice vote).
7 Brew Coffee (site plan, corner of Isabella Lane and President Place) — Motion to approve with staff conditions: approved (voice vote).
Rocky Fort Bridal / Janet Ibrahim (site plan) — Motion to defer one month: deferred (voice vote).
House on the Rock LLC (rezoning C2 to PRD, Enon Springs Road West) — Motion to deny based on inconsistent zoning: denied (voice vote).
Caravan Ventures (rezoning C2 to I1, Trident Drive) — Motion to approve: approved (voice vote).
Linwood, Section 1, Phases 1 & 2 (preliminary plat) — Motion to approve with conditions (35-foot garage setback, permit 25-foot elevation setback): approved (voice vote).
Bridal Downs, Section 1 Phase 1 (final plat) — Motion to approve with staff comments: approved (voice vote).
Riley Downs, Section 1 Phase 2 (final plat) — Motion to approve with staff comments: approved (voice vote); one abstention noted.
Sewerts Landing (outparcels 4 & 5, site plan) — Motion to approve with staff comments: approved (voice vote).
Bridal Salinger Way / Spring Branch Phase 2 (site plan) — Motion to approve with staff comments: approved (voice vote).
February bond review report — Motion to approve with staff recommendations: approved (voice vote).

Many of the approvals were conditional on resolving standard staff comments before permit/plat recordation or obtaining third-party approvals (for example, TDOT permission for landscaping in state right-of-way and written confirmation from CSX for uses within railroad easements). Where the commission recorded technical conditions, staff will track those items before issuing final approvals.

The meeting used voice votes for most motions; specific numeric tallies were not provided in the record.","On Feb. 6, 2025 the Smyrna Municipal Planning Commission approved a package of plats and site plans, denied a C2-to-PRD rezoning request for a parcel on Enon Springs Road West, and deferred multiple applications for one month.","actionData","errors"]
