Mr. Frei said staff reached a resolution with Subway on exterior materials and signage; the restaurant will restore the approved material pattern and improve signage, and staff expect an improved appearance when work is finished. \"They're putting the material, the design that was originally approved,\" he said, adding the applicant addressed a refrigeration-unit venting detail and will restore an exterior wall where needed.

On staffing, Frei said the city completed senior planner interviews and is in the process of making offers to fill a vacancy left by a previous planner. He also reported continued work with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) on development-impact fees and said a public meeting will be scheduled so residents can comment on proposed changes. Frei said the planning department will hold a work session on zoning-ordinance changes on the third Tuesday (May 20 at 6:30 p.m.) and will distribute materials to commissioners in advance.

On pending projects, Frei and staff reported the staff-level projects list is shrinking and several items are moving toward approval. Staff said they have been communicating with the football stadium project team and expect revised plans soon. Frei also noted activity on a fast-paced medical building and nearby commercial and restaurant projects in the Mayfair area.

Commissioners asked about several longer-term or paused projects: Legacy Senior Living Center expansion has not shown recent activity; a previously approved Scooter's Coffee proposal did not proceed because of cost concerns; a project that imported soil into a FEMA flood zone is still being addressed with a flood study under way; and TBN's redevelopment plans were described as moving forward with building demolition planned and possible future expansion.

Frei also clarified the city's vesting period for approved site plans: state law provides vesting for three years, and the city treats site plans as vested for three years before applicants must reapply or show substantial commencement to extend vesting.

The planning director closed by noting a May work session on zoning changes and that staff will notify commissioners when materials are available.","Planning Director reported that a design resolution with Subway has been reached, senior planner hiring is underway, development-impact-fee work is continuing with BOMA, and several pending projects (including a football stadium and TBN redevelopment) are moving through review.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6597987,"Planning Commission OKs Valvoline site plan, grants waiver for corner bay doors",825,164000,989000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3175052-1061c772a310fe26f4b1ee731972a9b2&start=164&end=989","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3175052-1061c772a310fe26f4b1ee731972a9b2/thumbnail_164000.jpg","/articles/6597987/Tennessee/Planning-Commission-OKs-Valvoline-site-plan-grants-waiver-for-corner-bay-doors","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6597987-bab3f85ccd64bdc1e008eb687880c09c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048074&Signature=KH01jy1kp9qv~sf8Yy-6gsk67Ikv~QPnQyJieo6R80WTtSOZgzApcTBiWOjbiy7LN3No95WzZ-McLrvcwH~VQITqUPYP0lcxy1gCLIgcYwQxpaSuX4UpG1pATYavXcDvchHip4xzBY5uV2ShBG3aTVwBZpqhQ1Z~KBexP-TyHWFKv4wMLhbUrvMJteubILAA381h-NynzctcdSVX-9pnzKlVNpElU4aoDAA~tisKMOBIiUR7dqGsH3rI~P9g3MLG9D5XVpzxLPFm83laUpzB45rzvSJUfw5RYOiMHGyj-HxvmAbJBlypbuUrNtPg2x8YflqZadfOohjXBznYpdMQLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission voted to approve a site plan for a Valvoline oil-change facility at 258 East Main Street and granted a waiver for three overhead bay doors that face the adjacent street.

Assistant Planning Director Timothy Witten told the commission the lot is 0.7 acres and the proposed building is a 2,088-square-foot oil-change facility within the Mayfair Planned Development. \"7 parking spaces are required, and they're providing 17,\" Witten said, noting the use is allowed in the plan development and that the applicant had agreed to staff comments.

Representatives for the project said the bays face a secondary street because the corner lot has drive-through access on both sides. Luke Clauser, the project engineer, and Michael Leverton, Valvoline's project manager, described operational expectations. \"Service for an oil change only takes just under 15 minutes,\" Leverton said, adding the store would likely average \"60 to 70 oil changes per day\" with peak hours of about \"12 to 15 oil changes in the hour.\" He said stacking typically would involve about two vehicles in the queue during peak times.

Commissioners pressed the applicant on visual screening and traffic. Commissioner Wendy Slattery said she opposed using waivers in this corridor and asked whether the landscaping would effectively screen the overhead doors. \"Waivers are an abuse of our zoning,\" Slattery said, and later questioned whether common plantings would sufficiently hide the three large bay doors as drivers approach Main Street.

Valvoline's team said they were working with staff to increase both the variety and density of plantings, add taller evergreens and a landscape wall on the east side, and use higher-quality bay doors to improve appearance. The applicant acknowledged bay-door operation is weather-dependent and would be closed in adverse conditions, but open in mild weather.

A commissioner asked whether any city ordinance requires bay doors to be closed during service; staff answered no. After discussion the commission voted to approve the site plan \"with all staff comments\" and to grant the requested waiver. The motion passed with seven votes in favor and one opposed.

The approval allows the developer and Valvoline to move forward with permitting and construction steps that follow site-plan approval and staff conditions. Commissioners and staff noted they will continue to work with the applicant on final landscaping and screening details as part of permit review.

A summary of the formal action: the commission approved the Valvoline Mayfair site plan, accepted staff comments and granted the waiver for bay-door orientation; the vote was recorded as 7–1 in favor.","The Planning Commission approved a 2,088-square-foot Valvoline oil-change facility at 258 East Main Street, granting a waiver for overhead bay doors that face the adjacent street and approving landscaping and staff conditions, after commissioners raised concerns about visual screening and traffic.","actionData","errors"]
