Abigail Overstreet, with Wilson and Associates representing Lennar Holmes, said the change would permit the intended three-car garages on lots in the amendment area and align setbacks with the rest of the subdivision. Overstreet said the 15-foot setbacks in the current SP allow only two-car garages and that the 10-foot setback is consistent with adjacent phases.

Staff characterized the item as a recommendation to city council; the expected city council schedule mentioned in the packet listed a public hearing/first reading on June 3 and a second reading on June 17. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about why the discrepancy existed previously; Overstreet said it was an oversight in the SP drafting. The commission did not take a final action at the meeting but advanced the item as a recommendation to city council per the packet schedule.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Preliminary Planning Commission Meeting - 4.15.2025 at 11am","oneSentenceSummary","Lennar Holmes of Tennessee requested a specific-plan amendment to reduce side setbacks from 15 feet to 10 feet to match adjacent RS-12 zoning and allow three-car garages.

Planning staff reported several incomplete items on the application for Lebanon Commerce Center (approximately 0.48 acres at 6991 and 7195 Franklin Road), including a retaining wall inside a 30-foot access easement, an entrance needing T-turn design for truck radii, monument signage located on residential property, and uncertainty about whether an optional parking area was included in impervious-area calculations. Staff told the commission the plan packet did not include the applicant's resubmittal.

An applicant who identified himself as Maris, formerly Al Nyer, said the team resubmitted corrected plans the previous day and asked to remain on the agenda because they needed certainty about what the commission would be voting on next week. Planning staff replied that the commission cannot review plans that are not in the packet and that incomplete items keep an application from being ready.

The commission did not act to place the item on consent; the application remained not-ready for full consideration until staff can verify the resubmittal.","Staff told the commission the Lebanon Commerce Center resubmittal did not arrive in time for the packet; the applicant said plans were resubmitted the prior day and asked to remain on the agenda.

Staff reported the two lots for the warehouse site must be consolidated before final site-plan approval and that cross-property connections and the photometric plan required updates. A required connection to the west did not line up with a stub shown on an adjacent property's approved site plan; the proposed block perimeter (17,365 feet) exceeded the allowable block-perimeter exception threshold (17,100 feet) for a level-5 stream crossing, prompting a variance request.

Mike Rogers, designer representing applicant Eric Berger, said the design team will coordinate the alignment with neighboring property plans and city engineering staff and get the connection worked out. Planning staff said the alignment and connection are planning requirements and must be shown on the site plan before it returns to commission. The commission concluded the package is not ready and removed the item from the agenda for later resubmittal.","A site plan for a Cedar Creek warehouse was not accepted because required street and block-perimeter connections did not line up with neighboring plans and a block-perimeter variance exceeded allowed thresholds; applicant must resolve alignment and coordination issues before returning.",{"_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},6271382,"Planning commission places multiple final plats and site plans on consent; several minor corrections noted",561,306000,867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3029141-b567aa312ace47a98ff50a294b80490f&start=306&end=867","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3029141-b567aa312ace47a98ff50a294b80490f/thumbnail_306000.jpg","/articles/6271382/Lebanon/Wilson-County/Tennessee/Planning-commission-places-multiple-final-plats-and-site-plans-on-consent-several-minor-corrections-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271382-fa690328942284b3b6ae9627eedd6904/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102240&Signature=ojrq94gSSFYrvc5JEqOJ4nhH2Wm-Utcn~Ew5lidVYyFxqZlxYlNmx0oRF2Z-7eJLCkYQPmK6X8mATeDoNtSry-8TESXq2chcVR6GVKIePQ3LWI1GSWdHb5bqTGm~30Su26n6sfJxi5QX~V2hcoIPM5vRBSkFuxy7Z6J~490pPpZdlhChCtgVLCS5nHHkksQB0~p6pa79CGFAYsXK294d1B6Rsp1vPxbp1cLRueVmwWbCMPCJTcdZj~tAkimd3FBtD4tknwRHyI52ayPzZGFomwxwVwey~wnvpCYrMcYR9Hy8qgwnrqh6TYs~17IoW78u8X7rY5y5J6buUdxSiJF2nA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon Planning Commission placed multiple development items on consent and advanced them by consensus after staff reported only minor corrections were outstanding.

Items moved on consent included: final plat approval for Huff Property (three-lot subdivision, ~2.01 acres at 516 and 600 Hartsville Pike); Barton Village Phase 2 (three-lot, ~11.85 acres); Waverly Phase 11 A (26-unit conservation subdivision, ~10.32 acres); Woodbridge Glen Phase 3 Section 1 (26 lots, ~10.51 acres) pending minor cul-de-sac corrections; Walnut Ridge Phase 1 Section 1 (35 lots, ~13.77 acres) with a minor correction; Cades Bluff Phase 4 (42 lots, ~17.75 acres) with minor corrections; and Parker Hannifin site plan (nonresidential development, ~21.27 acres at 104 Hartman Drive) with no further staff comments.

For each consented item staff noted either '2no open comments'2 or '2minor corrections needed,'2 which the commission agreed could be addressed administratively.

Josh (staff) said the rewrite consolidates design standards into each zoning chapter and adds a hybrid specific plan that '2they'll be required to provide a site layout, with certain details, with this application'2 to bridge the gap between a text-only SP and a full master plan. He told commissioners the text-only SP would be limited to five acres and that the hybrid SP would require illustrations of subdistricts, landscape buffers and architectural palettes.

Commissioners and staff debated parking policy at length, including a proposal to remove minimum parking requirements for commercial buildings under 20,000 square feet. Commissioner Paul characterized the planning view this way: '2a parking space is 1 of the least valuable uses in the city,'2 and argued the market and shared parking near activity centers can absorb demand. Other commissioners raised constituent concerns about inadequate on-street or driveway parking, sidewalk obstruction and the practical effects for small businesses and residents.

Staff said other substantive changes include: setting front-facing garage doors back 10 feet from the principal facade; adding accessory dwelling units (ADUs) citywide with a 700-square-foot maximum; consolidating several residential and mixed-use districts (creating a new Mixed Housing and a single RM6 multifamily district); lowering some building-height allowances and updating planting-strip and frontage rules to favor more urban planters over grass strips. The draft also proposes separate industrial districts for warehousing and large vehicle-sales/auction lots.

Commissioners requested additional materials before acting. Paul asked staff to provide examples and a parking study addressing street widths, fire and service-vehicle access, and how various street and setback options affect development cost and public-safety access. Josh said staff will return with: (a) the zoning map keyed to the draft code, (b) illustrative examples of garage-setback outcomes and (c) option sets for residential and commercial parking (a short study on street widths, driveway stacking and parking-location alternatives).

The commission did not vote to recommend the rewrite at this meeting. Instead the body directed staff to prepare the map and the parking/street-options material and bring them back for a formal recommendation vote at a future meeting.","Planning staff presented a package of zoning-code revisions that reorganizes district standards, adds a hybrid specific-plan category, and proposes new rules on garages, accessory dwelling units and parking. Commissioners debated parking policy and asked staff for alternatives and a follow-up map review before a formal recommendation.","actionData","errors"]
