Greg Gamble (Holiday/Factory representative) outlined the master plan: a low-profile hotel façade aligned with the historic factory, an internal Paseo pedestrian connection, underground detention replacing an existing stormwater basin, and a mix of parking types (approximately 39% under-building, 23% carport, 13% on-street parallel and 25% surface). The applicant proposed a phased construction sequence in which the parking garage is built early (phase 1b) and later phases rework surface lots to maintain a net parking surplus during construction.

Staff and applicants discussed a shared-parking analysis submitted for the entire Factory campus, which argued the proposed reduced parking is sufficient when peak demands of varied uses are considered. City staff noted the study aligns with practices used in Berry Farms and McEwen Town Center. Several board members raised event-day and Saturday demand concerns; the applicant said a shuttle arrangement with nearby schools currently runs on Saturdays and could be subsidized by the applicant for large events.

Board members and planning staff discussed signal timing and coordination for a proposed signalized Daniels Drive/Liberty Pike intersection. Traffic consultant Megan Sigler (KCI Technologies) said weekday warrants are met and the signal would likely operate 24/7; staff said coordinated timing with adjacent signals would be required to minimize weekday delays. The board asked staff to explore signal phasing options (for example, flashing or adaptive modes at off-peak times).

Historic zoning and design elements were discussed: the hotel height steps from two to three stories in line with the existing gable, Building 9’s façade is retained while a pool is proposed inside the existing volume, and a raised concrete pad will be replaced with a courtyard. Planning commission had recommended approval of MOSs and the plan.

No formal votes were recorded in the work session transcript; the applicant and staff concluded by agreeing to continue coordination on signal timing, parking and phased construction details before returning to the board for formal action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Franklin, BOMA Work Session 3-11-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Holiday Properties presented a revised Factory at Franklin development plan on March 11 that includes a 120-room hotel, a new roughly 250-space parking garage and staged parking improvements designed to protect historic assets while increasing parking capacity for events.","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},6287171,"Erickson Senior Living seeks rezoning for 1,250 age-restricted units; city to consider up to $5.87 million road impact offset",716,2964000,3680000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b&start=2964&end=3680","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b/thumbnail_2964000.jpg","/articles/6287171/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Erickson-Senior-Living-seeks-rezoning-for-1250-age-restricted-units-city-to-consider-up-to-587-million-road-impact-offset","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287171-29f98732f8eae7fde385d7df7d890df7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207420&Signature=CD7lpZ9SqFRF4gBF1YCtVNMhvR5Ekc1DP0~JJ~tS91-C38ZAuxBjb43O00fsqLAg7j6Ai3HLVP10VrQHXV-GDsyN-MXXk-HL~tuQfeyOur6WXxfGG27QwpxCIR1SMUN27CPS~~x3uojmkmtJ~cOa4RmUvYBCfhSv8HYqvLyGR4kd0roRc5SHzvGScXggn8-xNQ6SY~6QoeNZMgEg3G0E-lcZP74mKhPgOymKM5LscqvNig6B9lM1YjoM0Apxr2ZcTHUp7Ye350P9BzP0DDQt0dmSaSGJ5-TBPU1MZDW3BaLftvI0oWuOtGHse~Q2bq2J~sDNIjhDeQwx2kKFOexTvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Erickson Senior Living presented a rezoning and development plan for approximately 86–88 acres east of Patonsville Road on March 11, proposing 1,250 age-restricted multifamily units and about 172,000 square feet of continuum-of-care facilities (a continuing care retirement community model).

City planning staff reported that the planning commission recommended approval of the rezoning and development plan with conditions. Staff noted five requested modifications of standards (MOS): loading at side of buildings, block-length increase, finish floor elevation at ground level, removal of an eastern connectivity requirement, and a reduced parking ratio for age-restricted multifamily from 1.5 to 1.2 spaces per unit. Staff supported all MOSs except the proposed increased block length; the planning commission supported the package by an 8–0 vote except that MOS number 2 (block length) received a different vote breakdown at the commission.

Greg Gamble and Steve Montgomery, representatives for Erickson Senior Living, described the campus concept — three- to six-story interconnected buildings with indoor corridors; a mix of underground, carport and surface parking; on-site amenities including dining, pool, indoor pickleball and transportation; and an anticipated resident age around 80. Their traffic analysis reported peak directional use outside commuter peak hours, which staff said aligns with Envision Franklin special considerations for the policy area.

Separately, the board reviewed a proposed City of Franklin contract (Contract 2025-48) to provide a road impact fee offset not to exceed $5,871,648.61 so roadway improvements can be completed early in the development sequence. Staff said Erickson would pay roughly $1.1–$1.4 million in impact fees; the city contribution would offset the remaining CIP cost (the exhibit referenced a broader CIP line item in the range of about $9.9 million) so the roadway can be constructed ahead of wider development. City staff said approving the agreement would allow Erickson’s project to move forward while staff explores whether expanding the project’s scope within a larger public-private partnership makes sense.

No formal vote on the contract or rezoning appears in the work-session transcript; staff framed the items as requests for future action and recommended conditions. Board members asked technical questions about traffic coordination, water storage (a 2,000,000-gallon tank shown in the materials), and the proposed roadway timing and right-of-way conveyances.

The board advanced discussion to subsequent agenda items after hearing the presentation.","Erickson Senior Living presented a plan to develop roughly 1,250 age-restricted residences and a 172,000-square-foot continuum-of-care facility east of Patonsville Road and discussed a proposed city road-impact fee offset agreement of up to $5,871,648.61 to accelerate roadway construction.",{"_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},6287176,"Franktown Open Hearts asks Franklin City for up to $900,000 to address stormwater barrier to new youth center",2748,100000,2848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b&start=100&end=2848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b/thumbnail_100000.jpg","/articles/6287176/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Franktown-Open-Hearts-asks-Franklin-City-for-up-to-900000-to-address-stormwater-barrier-to-new-youth-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287176-78cd9f37c2941402c63f2b90db53d2fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207420&Signature=ORSZSfyvi4lUQmUGlRi60ouBimxsoJuG8qzomMLuOufnLee9UTOXf4gFudMrO8Q9m4pnE83CfRd9fOsLaX46zHnBHF2trc22NmzttFgOryINC943AVGq-A5lcbPHa5d1RLQGQQAakgy~EvNxEFR05-7hS-AR0JsdBO4402ETUSNCx0DbstTEfd94IWXEW7IR5iNbwlIMwcAqOW1gU53w42Zh~F7U4cFd6PKOeVElr853eGpUTRr2roBk9SCp4Tsfb-7lPshVzTM0Hw8Od0AOXW~acMpWMbSrcY~3yO1sR1NPFZx9ijPzAer3TG5kVs6i1ccTmd6W1AKRR~Mb79DeDw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Franktown Open Hearts asked the Franklin City Board of Mayor and Aldermen on March 11 for up to $900,000 to pay for off-site stormwater infrastructure and to have Johnson Circle dedicated to the city so the nonprofit can proceed with a planned youth and workforce-training facility at 215 Granbury Street.

The nonprofit’s representative, identified in the meeting as “Chris (Franktown Open Hearts),” told the board that earlier-engineered options using an open swale on an adjacent Franklin Housing Authority parcel were infeasible because of topography. Brandon Priddy of 906 Studio Architects said an underground solution in Johnson Circle would cost roughly $700,000; he and other presenters estimated the total building program will cost $6–6.7 million and said the stormwater work represents about a 10% piece of that budget. Chris said the lease with Williamson County requires construction to begin by October 2025 or Franktown risks losing the site.

City staff and aldermen discussed funding options, including using available and future Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations and unspent capital investment plan (CIP) funds. Vernon (City staff) and other staff members said approximately $450,000 in CDBG funds are currently available and that the city could consider spreading any city contribution over multiple fiscal years. Alderman Baggett and others expressed support for the request in principle but asked staff to return with specific funding scenarios. Several aldermen stressed caution about committing limited CDBG dollars because other housing-related projects are also seeking the same funds.

Board members and staff clarified that if the city accepts Johnson Circle as a public street, the city would require it to be brought up to city standards (milled/overlaid, curb-to-curb) before dedication. Franktown said it has raised about $4.5 million toward the building and maintains an annual operating budget of roughly $900,000; the capital campaign raised $2.4 million last year toward the facility. Franktown representatives said the nonprofit serves primarily households on free or reduced-price school lunches and uses vocational and educational programming to reduce generational poverty; they said waiting lists fluctuate and that the organization currently cannot meet demand.

No formal motion or vote on funding was recorded in the work session. Multiple aldermen asked staff to return with options — including possible use of CDBG, CIP, ARPA, or multi-year approaches — and with the exact cost breakdown and timing so the board can consider how to proceed without overcommitting limited grant funds. Staff indicated they will prepare funding scenarios and a draft development agreement for future consideration.

The board moved on to the next agenda item after directing staff to bring funding options back to the board for review.","Franktown Open Hearts requested city assistance of up to $900,000 to fund underground stormwater infrastructure on Johnson Circle and for the city to accept Johnson Circle as a public right-of-way, saying the improvements are required before the nonprofit can break ground on a planned facility that would expand services for low-income children.",{"_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},6287158,"Staff maps CIP projects to likely growth areas as board begins 10‑year capital plan review",235,5531000,5766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b&start=5531&end=5766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b/thumbnail_5531000.jpg","/articles/6287158/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/Staff-maps-CIP-projects-to-likely-growth-areas-as-board-begins-10year-capital-plan-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287158-916e1a8d289f6c4d715dc7ed6fb1b77b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207420&Signature=et9zEqcBBdd8E1rMqsv9iaP5B1RlJp1JA0o2V8T4Z7A3XrxsRKZJhmmyPO9TB9CkZ1l1De2Lnv4aEW-j~4e3YDpJ2CUHz9~YZHY3RiEcBk8dXWVMMODs~rFpBhhe~kOeIpDHrFiDseo7ZY5noQTKvea1JIdq0WQS69A5hWO2QOdZGHwC317D9CLeRkDPjYvq32ur35vvudBmhd3F7l9zUKssclIAKiBp-AqrMqq1tUXF72byWd6n0Zy~uNaT-kzGT5Bk~5xbaRexTPDzTvBlqafyI3v1oSrpyuKbLTU9DSFJCb1njXBQG~f~5jkn80DIU9EdoZTzu0nlgnCxHSPDmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed the Board of Mayor and Aldermen on March 11 about how the 10-year Capital Investment Plan (CIP) projects align with growth suitability analyses and sanitary-sewer basin maps.

Staff presented maps showing short-, mid- and long-term growth suitability across Franklin and overlaid CIP projects and funded items. The Goose Creek area, and the west basin projects tied to Carothers Parkway south of State Route 96, were identified as short-term growth areas requiring significant near-term infrastructure investment. Staff noted that several large state-route projects (including two McEwen-related projects and Franklin Road improvements) remain priorities and will require coordination with the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

Aldermen discussed balancing investments that drive new growth versus maintaining and supporting existing business districts such as Cool Springs and downtown. Staff said the exhibits are intended to inform upcoming CIP prioritization decisions and that a first draft of board priorities would be circulated in the next board meeting cycle for further review.

The presentation closed with staff asking for board feedback on where the board wants to direct infrastructure investment and noting that CIP decisions will help determine where city-driven growth will be supported.","City staff presented a map linking CIP projects to short-, mid- and long-term growth areas identified in the city suitability analysis and sanitary-sewer basin maps, highlighting Goose Creek and Carothers Parkway South as near-term growth areas and urging the board to weigh CIP investments against desired growth patterns.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6287162,"City to cover original $275,000 share in sewer extension agreement as Chadwell Partnership withdraws",126,5414000,5540000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b&start=5414&end=5540","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2554886-93d985b93be38b3a8845115ef984d73b/thumbnail_5414000.jpg","/articles/6287162/Franklin-City/Williamson-County/Tennessee/City-to-cover-original-275000-share-in-sewer-extension-agreement-as-Chadwell-Partnership-withdraws","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287162-9a677684de27faa1db57ec90e45fe19a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207420&Signature=nFgAj6MUwAu9b-C7Xn2zwrCU123~4838MooS7yHmtuDegEIELKAKrUg5GtHFbJotrcUdk3mUe3iG1~Pjex23I4am3OTIFNUrbj0YYGtPCBOkRe0sYUCScR2g~yi~-GLYHzWveuZ3s1VFtkbdQQkTzJ1CIge3tOJc-MHbhM5dThrY6MFJHRGsPrXC-YxNuQtzFa~UCugR~OeH1v4iQ80ok5M4WgfgXr-0PPOI0eySw9RrFe0POavpYMrGR5C1LsMa70g5g8R3GBEjDqEfwWVqlRwoX0n4Wi83Lq2dqF7mZdVh462r4ZzJRfpxGHV7F5WZZ3gJiBRhwEDs2Sm8LpL1EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff presented Amendment 1 to Contract 2021-0072 on March 11, which revises a previously planned three‑party agreement to extend sanitary sewer collection lines for the Meadows and Villages and Southbrook developments.

The Chadwell Partnership subsequently opted not to proceed with its development commitment but did provide required easements. Ford Classic Homes agreed to pay the remaining construction cost and requested the city honor its original $275,000 contribution so the extension can be completed and future growth served.
