Why it matters: The plan proposes attached dwellings on land zoned RM-8 and includes private roads, stormwater basins, and open space. Commissioner comments focused on resource-protection standards and whether areas with slopes of 20% or greater must remain undisturbed for multifamily projects under the zoning ordinance.

Staff and the applicant: Planning staff said the property’s RM-8 zoning predated the city’s 2040 plan and that attached dwellings are a permitted use. The development team said the disturbed areas are mostly small, isolated pockets and that the project’s area of disturbance would avoid FEMA flood hazard zones. Planning staff explained that three separate regulations touch on slope protections—zoning, subdivision regulations and the stormwater ordinance—and that staff has interpreted the most recent and technically relevant stormwater provisions to allow limited disturbance of isolated pockets (generally under 5,000 square feet) where necessary for infrastructure.

Commissioner concerns: Commissioner Pape pressed staff about the zoning ordinance’s language that “areas 20% slope or greater have to remain undisturbed” and argued that the commission should enforce the zoning provision. Staff replied that the stormwater ordinance and engineering interpretations include allowances for small, isolated disturbances and that most of the steep areas fall within TDOT right of way or are pockets of previously disturbed fill.

Vote and motion: After discussion, the commission approved the residential development plan. The recorded roll-call vote on PC0925 was 7–1, with Commissioner Pape voting no. Staff noted the development conforms substantially to the master development plan approved previously, and that required infrastructure — stormwater, water, wastewater — will be installed per permitting requirements.

Next steps: The applicant will submit final construction documents for plan review and permitting. Staff will confirm compliance with stormwater and slope protections during technical review and will require any structural retaining-wall designs to be submitted by a structural engineer when building permits are pulled.

Why it matters: Commissioners wrestled with the City of Fairview Design Review Manual’s 70% masonry requirement after staff reported the applicant sought an exception to match corporate branding used on the adjacent Walmart Supercenter. Commissioners pressed the applicant for changes that would increase masonry coverage on one elevation while allowing a reduced masonry requirement where signage and branding are significant.

Staff said the site proposal includes required parking, stormwater infrastructure and access from both Adele Road and Hopgood Road. Staff recommended approval but noted an exception to the design manual for 70% masonry coverage. The project team explained that the blue EIFS “badge” on the building’s corner is a corporate branding element and that wrapping signage and canopy branding are important to their design language. The firm also said modest adjustments — shifting control joints and raising a stone wainscot a few feet — could materially increase masonry percentage on problem elevations.

Commission discussion focused on how to quantify compliance and how to balance design continuity with local masonry standards. Commissioners and the applicant agreed on a design compromise: increase masonry coverage on the side and rear elevations and reduce the EIFS corner element so the masonry percentage improves on the side elevations; the board then limited the exception to the front elevation.

Access and circulation: Staff asked the commission to consider requiring right-in, right-out circulation at the Adele Road entrance to reduce conflicting left-turn movements at a nearby intersection. The applicant preferred a full-access driveway for customer convenience; staff noted the applicant’s circulation plan could work under a right-in, right-out condition. The commission discussed the matter but did not impose a separate vehicular-access condition in lieu of other approvals.

Vote and outcome: The commission approved PC0725 as amended. A roll-call vote on the amendment that limited the masonry exception to the front elevation carried 8–0. The final approval of the site plan carried 8–0.

Decisions vs. direction: The commission adopted a narrower exception to the 70% masonry rule limited to the building’s front elevation and encouraged the applicant to increase brick/stone on side elevations and reduce EIFS where feasible. Staff retained responsibility for technical circulation and stormwater compliance during permit review.

The commission’s action followed a staff presentation on the application’s requested exceptions — tree bank, sidewalk, above-ground detention, steep-slope disturbance and building-materials — and subsequent discussion with the applicant and technical consultants. Planning staff reported the applicant had revised the building-materials request to provide at least 70% brick on three sides and additional landscaping along Fairview Boulevard, while continuing to request above-ground detention at the rear of the site.

Why it matters: Commissioners said they were concerned about visible building materials and the long-term appearance and utility of above-ground detention as the area develops. Two specific concerns—masonry coverage and stormwater detention type—were sufficient to trigger amendments to the commission’s recommended approval.

During the public discussion, Commissioner Jeff McDonald said he remained “against it” because of long-term planning concerns around above-ground detention and future development potential on the parcel behind the site. The applicant’s representative described the proposed above-ground detention as a vegetated “divot” or water garden that would be screened by existing and proposed vegetation and would not resemble concrete-walled detention typical in residential areas. Jonathan Evans of Evans Engineering explained portions of the site contain artificially placed fill that produces localized slopes exceeding 20% and clarified which slope areas are existing fill versus natural terrain.

The commission voted first to amend the staff recommendation to require 70% masonry coverage on all four elevations rather than three. That amendment was moved from the chair and seconded; the amendment passed on a roll call. The commission then moved and approved an amendment to remove the underground-detention exception and require below-grade detention instead. That motion passed on a subsequent roll call.

Final action: The commission then voted to approve PC0125 as amended. The final recorded vote on the item listed the following member votes: Mister McDonald — Aye; Ms. Schulist — Aye; Ms. Williams — Aye; Ms. Schilling — Aye; Mayor Anderson — Aye; Mr. Magner — Aye; Mr. Kelly — Aye; Mr. Pate — No. The chair announced “Item PC0125 passes.”

Discussion vs. decision: Commissioners’ discussion included objections to multiple requested exceptions and to above-ground detention in an area that could see future commercial development; the commission converted those concerns into conditions of approval rather than denying the application. Staff confirmed that some canopy/vegetation depicted in plans is outside the applicant’s property line and clarified which onsite trees would be preserved. The applicant agreed to increase masonry coverage if required.

What’s next: The approved site plan moves into final administrative processing per city procedures; the commission’s written conditions require 70% masonry coverage on every elevation and below-grade detention as approved conditions of approval.
