Supporters said the project will add Class A industrial space and daytime jobs; opponents raised safety and drainage concerns and pressed the developer to fund a longer road connection to South Centerpoint Road.

The rezoning vote followed a lengthy public hearing and questions from aldermen about traffic flow, drainage and whether the developer could or would extend the new road beyond the development’s property. Tyler Jones, representing Lincoln Property Company, said the applicant will “spend more dollars out there on Rockland Road to make it safer for the constituents based on the comments we heard last time,” and that the company planned to construct roughly one third of the connection labeled in plans as Public Road A. Parks Ball, a civil engineer with Kimley‑Horn, described the planned roadway as an asphalt three‑lane section with concrete curb and gutter, a 10‑foot multi‑use trail on the new public street and related drainage and lighting work.

Aldermen who opposed the rezoning argued the developer did not control all the necessary right‑of‑way to complete a longer western extension to South Centerpoint Road and warned the board against exacting significant offsite improvements on private property. City staff clarified the city’s capital improvement plan includes the longer connection as a future project, and that the developer agreed to realign the driveway and add a deceleration lane at Rockland Road as shown in the amendment exhibit.

During the meeting, developers and city engineers discussed cost estimates. One developer representative estimated a total project cost “plus or minus 59,” which attendees understood as roughly $59 million. The applicant also acknowledged it did not own all of the land required to extend the road to South Centerpoint; aldermen were told the developer could not absorb the entire cost of an offsite extension that crosses other private parcels and a ravine that would require a bridge.

Alderman Skidmore and others raised localized safety issues on Rockland Road, including standing water that can pond in heavy rain and the AM peak stacking that already backs traffic up on the roadway. The developer said the project team would coordinate with the city’s engineering staff to address drainage and alignment problems and noted plans to construct a deceleration lane and realigned access to improve sightlines.

The board added the developer’s roadway exhibit to the approved industrial plan development as an amendment. The measure passed 9‑3; Aldermen Burgdorff, Skidmore and Martin cast the three no votes.

The approved plan requires the applicant to dedicate the new internal public road to the city and build the specified roadway improvements shown in the attached exhibit; final details of offsite work, additional right‑of‑way acquisition and utility relocations were left for engineering and permitting stages.

City staff and the developer said additional traffic and drainage design will be part of site‑plan review and permitting. Aldermen also asked planning and public works staff to continue pursuing the longer westward connection in the city’s capital plan so future developments can join the roadway in phases.

The ordinance took effect as the board directed following second reading.

Developers: Lincoln Property Company; engineer: Kimley‑Horn; counsel and applicant representatives present at the hearing.

Votes at a glance: second reading, ordinance 2025‑13 (rezoning for Lincoln Rockland Commercial Plaza) — approved 9 in favor, 3 opposed.

Next steps: final engineering during site‑plan review and permitting; potential further discussions about right‑of‑way acquisition and funding for the western extension.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hendersonville Board of Mayor & Aldermen 8/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 9‑3 to rezone 26 acres on Rockland Road for the Lincoln Rockland Commercial Plaza, approving developer‑proposed roadway realignment and on‑site road construction but declining to require the developer to build a full western extension to South Centerpoint Road.","taxTitle","Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",4108,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480349,"Mayor proclaims September 2025 Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in Hendersonville",286,662000,948000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115&start=662&end=948","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115/thumbnail_662000.jpg","/articles/6480349/Hendersonville/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Mayor-proclaims-September-2025-Suicide-Prevention-Awareness-Month-in-Hendersonville","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480349-b7e8ad49d3a56b89dfec092e6e5edc48/orig.mp4?Expires=1774840058&Signature=TgmHSATJQK1PDhdqq6uispCtxFMVlqyGGRB46eWYr8oQXw~TWxjyn7VaSjMXDnSEn9ggGdJt35ZqaPMp~ea4ahHX~voSpGq0e2sxITaz2v3gpr9yi0f3fx3tA4ctYyTJ1DJ6lxajBsi9LVjMEoJpmZxiD76~5l1kcp75EWQQQAkP-UYzfFVkIly38lXUUun8Gjm5PHk0-0gRwH-R-3-6rgBE3PxoI3i3URDjkHHIzMdBb29CEGmwHf-p37M1J9o6dadnF2vdnCfH6lQlTMmxoi2Q0~r1nMlF~q-zwqU63Ce-Iu9HzlovAfWmnOLyUO-o0ZnVMGhmVWPNBckUl08xtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Jamie Clary read a proclamation on Aug. 26 declaring September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in Hendersonville and designating Sept. 9, 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Day.

Daryl Bolden, Mid‑Cumberland regional director for the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, said the state‑level nonprofit staffs 10 regional offices and provides trainings, crisis‑intervention resources and postvention support for organizations and schools. Clark Flatt (representing the Jason Foundation) and other Jason Foundation staff described the charity’s local roots in Hendersonville and its national work; speakers noted Tennessee’s passage of the Jason Flatt Act and the availability of the 988 crisis lifeline.

The proclamation recognized local work by the Jason Foundation — headquartered in Hendersonville — and the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network advisory council, and urged residents to share resources and learn warning signs. The mayor and staff took photos with foundation representatives after the presentation.

The proclamation does not create new city programs or funding; it is a formal recognition intended to promote awareness and connect residents to existing statewide and local services.","Mayor Jamie Clary issued a proclamation recognizing September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and Sept. 9, 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Day; representatives from the Jason Foundation and Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network spoke about local prevention efforts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6480353,"Hendersonville adopts nine‑month moratorium on high‑density residential development after split debate",2062,8156000,10218000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115&start=8156&end=10218","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115/thumbnail_8156000.jpg","/articles/6480353/Hendersonville/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Hendersonville-adopts-ninemonth-moratorium-on-highdensity-residential-development-after-split-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480353-752663b30a16347c70161ed77049614d/orig.mp4?Expires=1774840058&Signature=o-VfHQiPHdpDhRj5RvZN730Au27klrM5OMu5YLGix6Qs6yuaQrGGM6dBTvXFPEddHmAlV0Qspyuk8COj0qvNNqCpeVV9QpbR-Vfw6ozOt33gYyjqjxHL6EnCvYspeUHz2YK6v8RvbGheN0gshxVutmPLs-DLc8rPSWdvoEuU3EqW1IK41tnF-TmNPEsCXtkg2UKJAX-3RR~NsH3EPXJv1Sei4Rd5NQRmdKkdXSx9ibFrMR~VOV4WZTt9xbUFDqM5D5IP58ReM~JMXp5z2syj5Rs72DFVagF-8L1IeOuEKavTHtO-fSOqZC3M~lgQOdlFstFIv7Ff7SFfH03IEP3SgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 10‑2 on Aug. 26 to enact a nine‑month moratorium on the acceptance, review and approval of applications and permits for high‑density residential developments within Hendersonville.

Proponents said the pause gives staff and elected officials time to study zoning, infrastructure and possible impact‑fee structures; opponents argued the moratorium would damage housing supply, discourage investment and could exclude projects already in the pipeline.

Public comment was split. Ash Seeley, a Hendersonville resident and young working‑age city employee, warned the moratorium would worsen affordability for renters and young adults who already struggle to buy homes inside the city. “Apartments and similar rental units are our only choice when it comes to affordable living inside the city limits,” Seeley said. Several other speakers, including David Lucky and Rob Cushman, opposed the moratorium on the grounds it would limit supply, infringe on private property rights and disincentivize investment.

Supporters — including Aldermen Burgdorff and Garza — said the city needs time to consider impact fees, infrastructure capacity and how new projects fit the Westlake plan. Alderman Collins delivered data showing a widening gap between local household income and the median house price: he said the average household income rose to about $112,000 while average sale price increased to roughly $626,000, creating a large affordability gap.

Alderman Evans and several others noted that multiple projects already vested or in process would have fallen under the moratorium list the staff provided. Evans read a staff exhibit naming projects: Willowbrook Phase 2 (265 units, ~16.76 units/acre), Anderson Park (192 units, 8.78 units/acre), Glenbrook Village North (297 units, 11.44 units/acre), Grace Place Ministries (42 units, 9.55 units/acre) and two smaller proposals (Hickory Bay Towers, 51 units; Lisa Drive, 12 units). He noted that some projects were vested and therefore not affected, while other pending applications would be paused.

After debate and a motion to call the question, the board voted to approve the ordinance 10‑2. Aldermen Collins and Evans voted no.

The ordinance directs staff to pause intake and review of qualifying high‑density applications for nine months while the city evaluates zoning, infrastructure impacts and possible fee structures. City staff emphasized the moratorium also covers certain assisted living and congregate care projects if they meet the density threshold described in the ordinance.

Supporters framed the moratorium as a temporary, analytical pause; opponents called for targeted reforms and faster, project‑level review rather than a blanket stop.

Votes at a glance: ordinance 2025‑14 — adopted on second reading (or as enacted by vote) 10 in favor, 2 opposed. The moratorium is effective immediately and will run for nine months unless the board acts to alter the timing.

Implementation notes: Staff will inventory pending projects for vesting status, prepare a scope for an impact‑fee study and present recommendations to BOMA during the moratorium period.","The Board approved a nine‑month moratorium on acceptance, review and approval of high‑density residential applications, citing the need to study zoning, impact fees and infrastructure; the measure passed 10‑2 after public comment both for and against the pause.",{"_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},6480358,"Board rejects Nearwater Place change to remove rental restriction; resolution fails 10‑2",1629,1242000,2871000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115&start=1242&end=2871","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5681803-4c5b92910d32f7326aaa454a8c0f8115/thumbnail_1242000.jpg","/articles/6480358/Hendersonville/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Board-rejects-Nearwater-Place-change-to-remove-rental-restriction-resolution-fails-102","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6480358-3b82e3229e28fe2ca2175ac3df85e630/orig.mp4?Expires=1774840058&Signature=oUYTtFhdtRUFtUHReeJW0115HDoNdsKmtqhCDtXzy1cIyviou4DNUetB7iYc~Rb3MYUcNcXOXAACm8BOGdTKGNijnHnhP5QPEwNQC4aL2QssBmy7EG3Lcx6sRbAdQMIDQ~NtZDDSh86akKokRV60S5MBcditB9OB7yeXKJdFo3Ffdx1cdJA-RX6KUgrQbwR7wu4Mx1AisYWiqXm97Lj3867pBvXJYgxzGR~E8XV-s~XNV1QnJcxgNaFTHEpHwjh1o8LUXeU3gOe-QKknLLXRI~1KShP6OWmSGA9lCv4pjRg0Qn4NBZaAbeRb5FUXxU3-w-ZC1xyASrbK2g3zVFq3DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted 10‑2 on Aug. 26 to reject Resolution 2025‑28, a request by Real Estate Solutions Group to amend the Nearwater Place final development plan and remove a blanket rental restriction for homes at 220 Nearwater Place.

The measure had been brought to the board after a public hearing. Builder and Hendersonville resident Rob Cushman told aldermen he had personal experience converting for‑sale townhome projects to rental units after repeated interest‑rate increases made sales unfeasible, and he said a rental option could avoid foreclosure and long vacancies. Cushman said his for‑sale townhomes ultimately rented for market rents and that a rental restriction could leave property “languishing.”

Opponents cautioned the board against changing the terms that were part of the original approvals. Betsy McMullen told the board the builder received permission to construct the units with the expectation they would be owner‑occupied and said amending the plan now could set a precedent. Aldermen also noted constituent comments urging the city to preserve neighborhood expectations.

When the board voted, only Aldermen Ward and Evans supported the amendment. The motion failed 10‑2.

Action and outcome: Resolution 2025‑28 (Nearwater Place final development plan amendment to remove rental restriction) — motion failed 2 in favor, 10 opposed. The board left the existing rental restriction in place.

Staff noted the amendment request will not proceed and that any future proposal would need to follow standard plan‑amendment and public‑notice procedures.

Speakers and participants: Rob Cushman (builder/developer and resident), Betsy McMullen (resident), the applicant’s representative filed to speak but did not present substantive testimony during the public hearing. The board’s vote reflects aldermanic concern about precedent and preserving development conditions.","A resolution to amend the Nearwater Place final development plan to remove a blanket rental restriction failed 10‑2 after public comment and alderman debate.
