The Franklin City Planning Commission meeting on June 26, 2025, focused on a significant amendment to the Envision Franklin plan. The commission discussed a motion to disapprove the amendment, which ultimately failed with a vote of 6 to 3.

Commissioner Allen initiated the motion to disapprove, which was seconded by another member. During the roll call, Commissioners Harrison, Franks, Lindsey, Orr, Mann, and McLemore voted against the disapproval, while Commissioners Williamson and Alderman Peterson supported it.

Following the failed motion, Commissioner Franks proposed a motion to adopt the amendment, which was seconded by Commissioner Harrison.
