Planning commission approves reduced height and commercial square footage for Huffines Ridge revision
Summary
Commissioners approved a revised development plan that lowers commercial building heights and reduces nonresidential square footage at Huffines Ridge, citing completed multifamily construction and a parking-utilization study as justification.
The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission approved Resolution 2025-22 recommending a revised development plan for Huffines Ridge PUD at 1343 Huffines Ridge Drive. The applicant sought reductions in nonresidential entitlements: the commercial/office maximum height was reduced from six stories to three, nonresidential square footage was cut from 150,000 to 47,000 square feet, and hotel uses were removed from the plan.
Staff said the multifamily portion of the project is complete and that a parking-utilization study supported a reduction in parking requirements tied to the smaller commercial component. The development plan is vested under the July 1, 2018 zoning ordinance; staff said the proposed changes represent reductions from previously vested entitlements and therefore require only planning commission action.
Jeff Rosiak of Grama Design Collaborative represented the applicant and was present to answer questions. The motion to approve the revised development plan with staff conditions passed on a roll-call vote, with commissioners voting aye and the motion recorded as approved.
Staff conditions will apply before permits are issued; the project team will proceed with final engineering and permitting steps under the vested ordinance.
