Planning commission recommends rezoning for Braywolf subdivision off Bridal Station Road
Summary
The Collierville Planning Commission voted to recommend rezoning 4.72 acres at the southwest corner of Wolf River Boulevard and Bridal Station Road from R-1 and FAR to R-2A to allow a proposed 12‑lot subdivision; the recommendation goes to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for final readings.
The Collierville Planning Commission on a recorded roll call recommended approval of a rezoning to reclassify 4.72 acres at the southwest corner of Wolf River Boulevard and Bridal Station Road from R-1 (low-density residential) and FAR (forest agricultural residential) to R-2A (medium-density residential). The applicant, the Renaissance Group, plans a preliminary subdivision for 12 lots if the Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopts the ordinance.
Staff presented the request as case number 250720. The current owner is Epiphany Church and the prospective purchaser is Mike Frohlich. Staff said the parcel includes a community garden, has a stream along the southwest side that will be evaluated for required buffer zones and that portions of the site may be constrained by stream buffers. Staff recommended approval, saying the R-2A density (2.51 dwelling units per acre for the intended development) is consistent with the town’s 2040 land use plan and comparable to nearby Creekside.
Commissioners heard that the proposed preliminary subdivision would create up to 12 lots with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of 80 feet. Staff told the commission that the town has water and sewer capacity for the 12 lots and that the applicant provided a trip-generation letter estimating about 16 AM peak-hour trips, 14 PM peak-hour trips and roughly 43 daily trips. Sidewalks currently exist on Wolf River Boulevard; Bridal Station does not have sidewalks on the applicant’s frontage and staff said the applicant would be responsible for installing them.
Commissioners asked about adjacency to a former landfill and the status of an adjacent rezoning. Staff said the property is adjacent to the former Blaylock and Brown Construction Landfill, and that nearby parcels are being rezoned to FAR; staff indicated that some of the properties to the west are unlikely to be developed due to proximity to the landfill. Staff also noted stormwater detention and environmental constraints would be evaluated during preliminary plat review.
After discussion, a motion to recommend approval of the ordinance implementing the rezoning passed on a roll call vote with the following recorded votes: Commissioner Fletcher — yes; Commissioner Gibbon — yes; Commissioner DeBose — yes; Commissioner Stamps — yes; Commissioner Green — yes; Commissioner Scotter — yes; Commissioner Sledd — yes; Commissioner Resanski — yes; Commissioner Cotton — yes. The recommendation will go to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen; staff said the first reading is scheduled for May 27, with a public hearing on June 9 and a third reading to follow if the board advances the ordinance. The preliminary plat will return to the planning commission for approval if the rezoning is adopted.
The commission’s recommendation does not itself change zoning; final action rests with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen and subsequent administrative reviews (stormwater, preliminary plat, curb-cut/driveway location) will be required before any construction begins.
