Spring Hill approves Grace Community Church expansion and Woodland Road lot split

The Spring Hill Planning Commission made significant strides in community development during its regular meeting on May 1, 2025, with the approval of a site plan for the expansion of Grace Community Church and a lot split application that could pave the way for new residential opportunities.

The commission unanimously approved the application for the church's expansion, which includes the addition of at least one sidewalk connecting the new buildings to the access road. This decision reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing accessibility and safety for community members visiting the church. The expansion is expected to better serve the growing congregation and provide more space for community activities.

In another key discussion, the commission reviewed a lot split application for a property located at 20175 Woodland Road. The owner, Mr. Baker, proposed dividing the existing 1-acre lot into two separate lots, with Lot 1 measuring 2.6 acres and Lot 2 at 3 acres. This split is significant as it will allow for potential new residential development in the area, which has seen recent growth. The property, previously home to a house that was demolished due to mold issues, is now set to be transformed, contributing to the ongoing development of the Woodland Crossing Subdivision.

Both decisions highlight the commission's focus on fostering community growth while ensuring that infrastructure improvements, such as sidewalks, are integrated into new developments. As Spring Hill continues to expand, these initiatives will play a crucial role in shaping the community's landscape and enhancing the quality of life for its residents.
