Applicant seeks C-4 rezoning near Exit 4 for convenience store and fueling station; staff recommends approval
Summary
A 4.37-acre parcel adjacent to Guthrie Highway near Sam's Club was proposed for rezoning from agricultural to C-4 Highway Interchange District for a convenience store/fueling station; county staff and planning commission recommended approval and applicants cited an accepted traffic study.
County planning staff presented CZ5-20-25, an application to rezone about 4.37 acres of a larger parcel from AG (agriculture) to C-4 Highway Interchange District, on property just outside Clarksville city limits by the I-24 Exit 4 area along Guthrie Highway.
The staff presentation noted the parcel lies in County Commission District 19, within the county's urban growth boundary and the Saint Bethlehem planning area. The request was described as consistent with the comprehensive plan's mixed-use designation for the corridor and appropriate given proximity to the interstate interchange and recent growth. Staff recommended approval, and the planning commission also recommended approval.
Stanley Ross, representing the applicant, told commissioners the plan is to build a convenience store and fueling station (described in materials as a convenience center and fueling station, similar to an existing development at Exit 8). He said a traffic study was submitted and accepted by the county highway department and the city street department, and that the study found only marginal change in level of service between build and no-build scenarios.
Staff noted a new public road is planned between the proposed parcel and an adjacent Tractor Supply property to convert the signal into a four-legged signalized intersection; site-plan and roadway improvements will be handled at the site-plan stage if rezoning is approved. Departmental reviews and the traffic assessment were described as accepted by the relevant agencies during staff review.
The public hearing included no speakers in opposition in the meeting excerpt. The transcript does not record a final vote on the rezoning in this excerpt; the record shows the public hearing portion and staff/applicant remarks but not any formal action or final vote.
