The Gallatin City Council meeting on June 24, 2025, spotlighted a significant proposal for the Wedgewood Townhomes, which aims to reshape the local landscape. The owner and applicant are seeking to rezone two lots totaling 10 acres from the R-15 medium density residential district to the Mixed-Use (MU) District. This change would pave the way for the construction of 72 townhome units across 8.2 acres, with plans for individual fee simple lots.

The development, located south of Red River Road and east of Highway 109, also includes a 1.97-acre segment designated for future commercial use. The proposal requests exceptions to standard zoning requirements, including minimum lot size, lot width, and setbacks, which are typical for townhome projects in MU zoning. Additionally, the developers are seeking approval for alternative architectural designs.

According to the city’s planning guidelines, this area is classified as part of the general urban community character, with a recommended density of 5 to 15 units per acre. The proposed development density of 8.78 units per acre falls within this range, while the MU zoning allows for up to 14.52 units per acre. Nearby developments, such as Nexus to the Northeast and Twin Eagles, also feature MU zoning, indicating a trend towards mixed-use developments in the area.

As the council considers this proposal, the outcome could significantly impact the community's growth and character, blending residential and commercial spaces in a rapidly developing part of Gallatin.
