Summary
Planning staff summarized projects on the town’s development activity map, including a small subdivision sketch (Bilal Sawadee), a shared‑driveway request at the Cardierville Marketplace/LA Fitness parcels, a historic‑area restoration for a photography/event venue, and administrative reviews for other commercial site changes.
Planning staff briefed the Planning Commission on recent activity posted to Collierville’s development activity map and answered commissioners’ questions about ongoing projects.
Jamie Gross said the Bilal Sawadee subdivision will come to the commission with a land‑use amendment and sketch plat; the applicant currently requests three or four lots and aims to rezone from FAR to allow a private road. Gross also described a pending administrative review of a shared driveway between the LA Fitness property and the adjacent Cardierville Marketplace parcel to improve connectivity and meet fire‑department access expectations.
Near the downtown square, staff said a prospective owner seeking to operate a photography studio and an indoor event venue at the former Simply Done Catering building will appear before the Historic Commission later in the month. Gross said previous zoning changes to permit artist studios in the central business district were made with projects like this in mind.
Staff said an application for an additional building at the Crash Champions site is under administrative review and may come to the commission if it cannot meet town standards. Commissioners also asked about an unfinished hotel adjacent to State Route 385; code enforcement and planning staff said they are working with the property owner and a contractor who has committed to a schedule and that staff will hold the owner accountable if progress stalls.
Other miscellaneous notes: staff said another phase of Lockwood is scheduled for Feb. 6; the McCandless subdivision near Hinton Park is pending final BMA action; and the development activity map includes links to staff reports and plans for public review on the town website.
Commissioners were given instructions on where to find the interactive map and were reminded about disclosure forms and state‑required training hours.
