Councilman Jovance introduced the ordinance (O2504-21) and council members debated access, traffic and stormwater concerns before voting. Councilman Schwab raised particular concern about the site's proximity to the floodplain and the potential for engineered site changes to affect downstream flow; he asked for more engineering detail prior to final approval. “I'm concerned about flooding down there ... we should have a little more information,” Schwab said during discussion.

Vice Mayor Hayes and other council members noted state-level permitting may be required and that final approvals could change details. One council member abstained from the vote, citing proximity of the site to land owned by a friend; the motion passed 5–0 with one abstention.

The ordinance approves a preliminary master development plan for a 3.53-acre portion of the parcel described in the application; staff and the developer will continue engineering and stormwater review before second reading and final site plan approval. The council's vote advances the project to subsequent reviews but does not authorize final construction without further approvals.","The council approved first reading for a Wawa convenience store and related site plan at Long Hollow Pike and Greenlee Boulevard after extended discussion about stormwater, access and traffic; one council member abstained citing a potential conflict.",{"_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},6602407,"Council approves rezoning for Sand Creek 'storage condo' development after noise, access concerns",1715,994000,2709000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3001382-33e48f75daf7dbabd0bf76810053b28a&start=994&end=2709","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3001382-33e48f75daf7dbabd0bf76810053b28a/thumbnail_994000.jpg","/articles/6602407/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Council-approves-rezoning-for-Sand-Creek-storage-condo-development-after-noise-access-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6602407-6cf294418904372aaaebff26595a0796/orig.mp4?Expires=1770428397&Signature=E1IXh1y~4Z12UjvIdZ2x4Fp-3VztP1bONGsYVMWmFI-tYAnBnnpUG-0tjGSwn0GBU3tU7p8lBKhvgNCeEQr~htq6aRWK6aPSylYHfIzfEnxTtl0P93at1HZoHvPwZX--Bh4CSKu47KIOVlS66Iz9rp1he14pm3EBIbvGJQc9NOkKYIqQlcoUoyq8A8VBa3Z~eF3yzqMraVEhnyEPFGVRLRdUCe3r8EyW2tvDnPLPb~PFXtcxhhPqX0DRn62KlSGh23ti~eYl67F3vLT-sJ45YblsWqp42MVPK5Mm9BTU-EKY4XOKuJDNzvvzkE3MBrHvgcIXLX9YIoTKfj4A2~6oQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gallatin City Council unanimously approved second reading April 15 of an ordinance rezoning a parcel for a proposed condominium-style vehicle and specialty-storage development known to the developer as Sand Creek Preston Park.

Councilman Juvan introduced ordinance O2407-33, which rezones the site to the PGC (Plan General Commercial) district and authorizes an amended preliminary master development plan. The measure passed on second reading without recorded opposition.

Residents and several council members pressed the developer on noise, enforcement and proximity to homes. A number of council members said earlier opposition from neighbors had been reduced after the developer personally contacted many nearby property owners and presented changes to address concerns.

Andy Leith of Greenlee Design and developer Armando Estrada of Sand Creek Partners described the project as primarily an owner-occupied storage-condominium product marketed to owners of collector cars, RVs and boats. Estrada told council members the developer had gone door-to-door to solicit input and had secured signed support from the homeowners association and from previously vocal neighbors. “We'll memorialize in our documents that any compressor work or excessive noise, but definitely compressor work, the doors will have to be down,” Estrada said.

Council members asked about unit counts and building dimensions. The developer said the project is currently planned for about 70 units; unit footprints start a little under 800 square feet and the buildings have tall clearances (developer described roughly 20-foot ceilings with approximately 14-foot garage doors to permit RVs and lifts). Leith and Estrada said the interior units are intended to be climate-controlled and that a homeowners association and recorded covenants were submitted for staff review.

Concern remained about how noise or after-hours work would be enforced; city staff said covenants and HOA enforcement are private tools and that the city's code enforcement tools are limited to the municipal code. The developer said he would provide signage, an HOA enforcement mechanism, and individual contact information and that the developer would actively enforce rules during the first two years of occupancy.

Council discussion referenced traffic and light impacts as reasons some neighbors favored the storage-condo option over walk-up retail. After additional council exchanges about notice and outreach, the motion for second reading passed unanimously.

The ordinance and its amended preliminary master development plan will be reflected on the city's official zoning atlas.","After extended public comment and council questions about noise, hours, HOA agreements and unit design, the council unanimously approved second reading of rezoning for a storage-condo development at Sand Creek Preston Park.",{"_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},6602412,"Gallatin council extends Project Phoenix exclusivity as mayor urges direction on city hall options",3668,297000,3965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3001382-33e48f75daf7dbabd0bf76810053b28a&start=297&end=3965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3001382-33e48f75daf7dbabd0bf76810053b28a/thumbnail_297000.jpg","/articles/6602412/Gallatin-City/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Gallatin-council-extends-Project-Phoenix-exclusivity-as-mayor-urges-direction-on-city-hall-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6602412-79a6b5d5b169ffb7fe0ffb71bf55c3f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770428397&Signature=BskpRsZXaGRYklW9nEOfcVBTSMJXC~BDq9bYukgPqAlRixzkcCLLehk6Y9zTS-JFvN6o0ud81a7fmzHVzYmRGMzsyYVsVWxzSOKm-xQbQF-SQm1kw565rxjSNrcZvz-wCA-A5elsWd~MaTt1lYs8H91VQgl5cbPqxj54GJ5X03MfWwng0GOi5oCPpfYk8WYvL0omt89JkepJSdIStjuAeCCM~yshSbkpPjhDvgtHuGLM7A1pEC6iHg37IUtdv~sOrC6IOZIwfHqrYMynaHaU~K3j9Axwgg75TkX1t7RLGbBNzxkjI5OZMGOH693BSmgC7BolPPyS23wtUjvX43ZCWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Gallatin City Council voted unanimously April 15 to authorize the mayor to sign a second amendment extending exclusivity for Project Phoenix while staff and the developer continue design work.

The measure, introduced by Vice Mayor Hayes and seconded by Councilman Fennell, does not commit the city to any construction; it extends the developer’s exclusive negotiating window through September so both sides can complete cost estimates and studies.

Mayor Hayes said the extension does not obligate the city to spend money and that the council must give direction so staff can complete analyses. “There is no scenario in which any money is going to be spent on any construction for city hall or for any other building without it being approved by this body,” the mayor said during discussion.

Resident Michelle Juvants spoke during the meeting’s public-recognition period and urged greater transparency on Project Phoenix costs. “It’s our money that you’re fixing to spend,” she said, pressing the council to present logistics, temporary relocation costs and other expense scenarios for citizens to review.

The mayor told the council staff had briefed members and that the firm working with the city needs direction on whether to prioritize renovating and reusing the current city hall, replacing it with a new building, or pursuing a design that allows subterranean parking to reduce above-ground parking structures. She also reminded council members that the city will need to site Fire Station 1 and eventually a new police department regardless of the city hall decision.

Council members asked for additional briefings and financial comparisons before final decisions. The resolution passed unanimously.

The council next directed staff to continue coordinating with the developer and to return with additional cost detail and policy guidance so members can decide a preferred pathway at a future meeting.","The council unanimously approved a resolution extending the developer exclusivity for Project Phoenix while mayor and residents pressed for clearer cost and siting guidance before any construction decisions are made.","actionData","errors"]
