Staff said the site is located in the Regional Commerce design concept of Envision Franklin and that the proposed mix of multifamily, assisted living and continuum-of-care services aligns with special considerations for this policy area. Staff outlined five requested Modifications of Standards (MOS) covering loading area location, maximum block length, finished floor elevation, external connectivity and reduced parking ratios for age-restricted multifamily units. Staff recommended approval of MOS 1, 3, 4 and 5, and recommended disapproval of MOS 2 (maximum block length); the commission ultimately approved all five modifications.

Greg Gamble, representing Erickson Senior Living, presented the campus plan and said the Erickson model is a CCRC (continuing care retirement community) with indoor connections, a mix of three- to six-story buildings, significant under-building and carport parking (39% under building, 23% carport, 13% on-street, 25% surface), and amenities intended to reduce peak-hour trips. Gamble said Erickson will construct frontage improvements to Patonsville Road consistent with a funded city capital project and provide right-of-way and two lanes on its side of the median; only one southbound lane would be present until neighboring development completes the other lane.

Neighbors and nearby landowners spoke at the hearing. Mike Woodside asked the commission to ensure that land acquisition and any right-of-way takings related to frontages and access be carried out by the applicant, noting his mother's nearby property and asking that she be able to remain undisturbed. Luke Beacham asked that the developer respect a long-established property boundary and avoid encroachment during construction. Reams Fleming Partnership, represented by Adam Balish, asked for a one-month deferral to review proposed access points and how they align with approved cuts for the adjacent property. City staff and the applicant said the Patonsville Road frontage work is a capital improvement project funded by BOMA (Board of Mayor and Aldermen), and staff offered the option to add language to condition of approval number 2 to allow the Board to modify the scope of the frontage improvements; the commission added the phrase “unless otherwise modified by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen” to condition 2 before voting.

The commission considered each MOS separately. MOS 1 (allow loading to the side) passed unanimously. MOS 2 (increase maximum block length perimeter to 6,200 feet) was debated; staff recommended denial but the commission approved it 6–2 (nay: Commissioners Allen and Lindsey). MOS 3 (allow finished-floor elevation at ground level for accessibility) passed unanimously. MOS 4 (remove required eastern external connection for security reasons) passed unanimously after staff tied support to the earlier amendment to the major thoroughfare plan. MOS 5 (reduce multifamily age-restricted parking from 1.5 to 1.2 spaces per unit) passed unanimously with staff noting an employee/visitor breakdown condition for the continuum-of-care portion.

After the MOS votes, the planning commission voted to recommend approval of the Erickson rezoning and development plan to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen with the amended condition language. Commissioners Allen, Franks, Lindsey, Mann, McLemore, Orr, Alderman Peterson and Williamson recorded ayes on the final motion. The motion passed.

Staff noted that construction limits of disturbance will be enforced at the site-plan stage to prevent encroachment on neighboring properties, and the applicant and staff committed to coordinate on roadway alignment and timing with Reams Fleming and city engineering prior to Board action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Franklin, Planning Commission 2-27-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Erickson Senior Living PUD rezoning and development plan for a proposed continuum-of-care campus east of Patonsville Road and approved five requested Modifications of Standards, including a contentious increase to maximum block length.","taxTitle","Franklin City, Williamson County, Tennessee","taxId",4577,"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},6304566,"Commission recommends rezoning and revised development plan for Factory at Franklin, approves hotel, parking garage and surety bond change",589,1093000,1682000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea&start=1093&end=1682","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea/thumbnail_1093000.jpg","/articles/6304566/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Commission-recommends-rezoning-and-revised-development-plan-for-Factory-at-Franklin-approves-hotel-parking-garage-and-surety-bond-change","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304566-12d6091dd8dbe60bcc9776a0861e3bae/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437980&Signature=Ursv-8mMOnyDr7n-NDhEJNTd2HAh93ktKE56p6oa8DheaHSHtLvWTH0PtYoap-712xLK-eBGekKoQs3ANt7VNE7hxaUYGogLfoyHJYh~YoFA7tGqUYB0RVh148xrhAtgwoDkLsnveROB~cMvhBsSbaYS34gtuWPfMzGY3NjPpwyH0u21HNs0~oJG1Fzc~pMS2CAf0I8zj~z-DWFRqe5Tg0iAtILOXdmdy2bkYFdeZVHujpxahXctpShPmhMoEHXuPVvDbKqP0b4hPgGc2u7CEUjjgIvE1lFun6q5yy27ekP6pdIgTNpyLmr4NbMtCEYB6KotOEyGE1VKlfDmcAM8jA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission recommended approval of Ordinance 2024-51 to revise entitlements for the Factory at Franklin PUD and approved Resolution 2024-113, a revised development plan adding a 120-room hotel and a multilevel parking garage on the roughly 20-acre site at 230 Franklin Road.

Staff said the rezoning and development plan reduce the previously established residential density, lower nonresidential square footage allowances in some respects and add the hotel use. The site is within the Factory design concept of Envision Franklin; staff said the hotel is supported if it is carefully designed to complement the historic factory buildings and noted the applicant received a preliminary certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Zoning Commission for the scale and location of the hotel.

Greg Gamble, representing Holiday Properties, presented the project design: a hotel stepped back behind the factory facade, a three-level garage providing roughly 250 stalls, reconstruction of an existing stormwater basin into underground detention beneath the new parking, and a new signalized entrance at Daniels Drive to create a four-way intersection. Gamble said pedestrian paseos will preserve access across the site, the garage will be designed to resonate with the factory's industrial character, and initial phasing will prioritize creation of parking (Phase 1a/1b) before hotel construction (Phase 2).

Staff presented and the commission separately considered a modification of standards (MOS) to allow a surety bond in lieu of an irrevocable standby letter of credit for required development sureties. Planning staff explained they researched surety bonds, consulted with insurers and city counsel templates, and believe bonds can provide non-expiring protection and defined parameters for calling funds if work is incomplete. Staff said they will pursue a zoning ordinance amendment to codify the option going forward.

Commissioners voted to recommend approval of the rezoning and development plan to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and voted in favor of the MOS to allow a surety bond. The roll call for the development plan and MOS recorded ayes from Commissioners Allen, Franks, Lindsey, Mann, McLemore, Orr, Alderman Peterson and Williamson. The motions passed.

Staff said the developer will return with site plans and that the surety option will be brought to the commission and the Board as a potential zoning ordinance amendment.","Planning commission recommended approval of Ordinance 2024-51 and Resolution 2024-113 to allow a 120-room hotel and parking garage at the Factory at Franklin PUD and approved a modification to allow surety bonds in lieu of irrevocable letters of credit.",{"_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},6304571,"Planning commission backs rezoning of Christ Fellowship Church property to Civic Institutional",83,955000,1038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea&start=955&end=1038","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea/thumbnail_955000.jpg","/articles/6304571/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-backs-rezoning-of-Christ-Fellowship-Church-property-to-Civic-Institutional","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304571-e82cf08640d98e23130cc17636e8bffd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437980&Signature=VdIb6niRa2uAj71fxt9EPoUpNQldF2VN9zaWJF76uIGMRIckBqu9N3S73RhP3za-ZYukEYB54NjHsCyLYQLVi0gSjUKlizNSe8gdfbKocAj3ckIOprrQWRKEdLMRmXw5wf5LRU5nOjRfX43ofXIbn3YRO5T6QyhzPhe4MdGejQi-L28VB0hK3Vxxj-exStnyZKoDgTTAOGuJ8G3RETliM0uUhsoJnxyZLQpqaIAAT8HDAlAPtX8NYAz49zGyhyugj6sJlHozw2NgZfuNpYdA1r1z~s-xWmxIZiwU05Duwmvj7eca69vHqeCpgzkkt0f2PP1PPqyJhJD3QfF95jeTjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of Ordinance 2024-50, rezoning about 1.95 acres at 104 Chestnut Lane from R-4 and MR to Civic Institutional (CI) to recognize the long-established use of the Christ Fellowship Church campus.

Staff told commissioners the site comprises three lots totaling just under 2 acres, with the larger lot within the historic residential design concept and the smaller lots within the mixed residential concept of Envision Franklin. Both design concepts list institutional uses as compatible provided they do not adversely impact surrounding neighborhoods. Staff said the church campus has been at the location for several decades and recommended forwarding the ordinance to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.

Pastor Travis Bridal, who identified himself as pastor and one of the elders at Christ Fellowship Church, spoke on behalf of the applicant and did not add further conditions. Commissioners had no substantive questions.

By roll call, the commission recommended approval to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Commissioners Allen, Franks, Lindsey, Mann, McLemore, Orr, Alderman Peterson and Williamson voted aye. The motion passed.

Staff noted the recommendation will go to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen per the zoning process.","The commission voted to recommend rezoning just under 2 acres at 104 Chestnut Lane from R-4/MR to Civic Institutional, a request presented by Pastor Travis Bridal and supported by staff as consistent with Envision Franklin.",{"_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},6304576,"Planning commission approves Major Thoroughfare Plan amendment to realign South Margin and Caruthers Parkway",266,116000,382000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea&start=116&end=382","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2459673-09bc2dd47c7ec768dfb71f62e805d2ea/thumbnail_116000.jpg","/articles/6304576/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-approves-Major-Thoroughfare-Plan-amendment-to-realign-South-Margin-and-Caruthers-Parkway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304576-fdde8236d0d6a7255e07ca9afd8fd348/orig.mp4?Expires=1770437980&Signature=kMmuI7d1YQC0hNBElcoubOxJ4Jgs5UypYtbnZtkf9VqxPBYWCqos5auV0xlVYHFyl5W8GAA6A~N~9o4v1DsSHyC~GMwpaV53OYG8ON3sMkjO6ihhZ9TShlAr-mTyqtLuyOO9qWtNQ8~L~3HbEG0awa6GneNotlyypgxDu65031HFJ~tsKUBeVTnwn7WL~8wM2QKqPYrDWKNs2wJPIvpWpLvaOZg8176fpJ9UJaTqmohP6n6yWw61u3~YCcy9LkvPyM4giu9dxByDcl0NkQdbhWlp34a02DDqn1jbDkOBPXMRTEB5SkCwWR~TnEckOxV7VyVBir9ar5jBkzmc9a4MBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission voted to recommend adoption of Resolution 2025-04, Amendment 6 to the Major Thoroughfare Plan, approving changes to the roadway network at South Margin Street in downtown Franklin and a realignment of Caruthers Parkway south of Long Lane.

Staff told the commission the South Margin change responds to proposed development in the Margin District and would realign the intersection with Ninth Avenue; a traffic impact analysis submitted by the developer indicates higher volumes are likely to shift onto Cummins Street and East Folk Street. On the Caruthers Parkway segment, staff said the alignment was revised after extensive public outreach and about a dozen alternatives were studied before settling on the current option.

Greg Gamble, appearing on behalf of an absent landowner, told the commission the proposed Caruthers alignment reflects substantial coordination among property owners and landowners who agreed to the new route. “A lot of work has gone into this,” Gamble said, noting owners rode the route on ATVs and discussed preferred alignment on site.

Commissioners asked whether the revised Caruthers alignment would increase construction costs. Staff said consultants studied earthwork and found the selected routing would not substantially increase grading costs and that some savings could occur because nearby property owners are expected to participate in development and provide opportunities to reuse spoils.

Commissioners also raised concerns about traffic patterns on East Folk Street, which staff said is a collector roadway and could be funded by collector impact fees as surrounding properties develop. Staff noted driver patterns are difficult to predict until construction is complete and pointed to a future signal at South Margin and Lewisburg Pike that could affect turning movements.

The commission voted by roll call to recommend adoption of the amendment to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Commissioners recorded ayes from Allen, Franks, Lindsey, Mann, McLemore, Orr, Alderman Peterson and Williamson; Harrison was absent. The motion passed.

The planning staff said, if approved, design concepts in the area will be revisited and additional amendments to Envision Franklin may be returned to the commission in the coming months to reflect the new road alignment.","Franklin Municipal Planning Commission voted to recommend adoption of Amendment 6 to the Major Thoroughfare Plan, approving a revised alignment for South Margin Street in downtown and a new Caruthers Parkway alignment south of Long Lane in the Goose Creek area after staff presentation and one public speaker.","actionData","errors"]
