Commission approves site plan for new Fifth Third Bank on Murfreesboro Road
Summary
The commission approved a 2,014‑square‑foot Fifth Third Bank building with a rear remote drive‑through and required landscaping, pedestrian access and materials as presented; staff noted addressed sidewalk and access comments and fire access via shared rear easement.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a site plan for a new Fifth Third Bank building at 5343 Murfreesboro Road.
Planning staff described the proposal as a site plan for a roughly 2,014‑square‑foot bank on a 0.77‑acre parcel in the C‑2 (Highway Service) zoning district. The plan shows a remote drive‑through at the rear of the building with a “quasi‑roundabout” circulation area to allow vehicles to enter the drive‑through and exit to adjacent outparcels; staff said parking and landscaping meet city requirements. The submission also includes a materials board and architectural elevations showing white brick, glass and colored metal panel accents in the bank’s blue and green palette.
Staff told the commission the sidewalk requirement had been corrected to a 6‑foot width in the construction drawings (staff noted a demolition sheet showed 5 feet but said the construction sheet C02.01 shows 6 feet). A staff member also said fire‑truck turning movements had not been revised on one sheet but that fire access would be provided from a shared access easement to the rear that connects neighboring parcels; the staff comment noted that access from the rear would allow fire apparatus to circulate around the building.
An architect for the project described the blue‑green accent panels as aluminum composite metal with a high‑durability Kynar finish and a 20–30 year warranty. After brief questions about sidewalk dimensions and materials, a commissioner moved to accept the site plan as submitted; the commission seconded the motion, voted by voice and approved the plan.
The approval covers the site plan as presented; demolition, construction permits, and any required state approvals (for example, if modifications to state road access are needed) remain separate processes.
