Charity Gold presented a pattern‑book review for a proposed 5,500‑square‑foot Celebration Life funeral home on a 9.68‑acre Community Commercial (CC) parcel on the north side of Anderson Highway. Gold said the submission shows a neutral gray/white color palette, front‑facing entrance oriented to Anderson Highway, wall articulation and roofline variation, and materials including board‑and‑batten, stucco and glazing. Staff reviewed the submission against the countywide development guidebook and zoning standards and found it compliant.
Commission questions focused on setbacks and maximum height. Staff confirmed the design meets the CC zone setback requirements (including future right‑of‑way considerations) and that the building elevations do not exceed the 35‑foot maximum height for CC. Commissioners voted 5–0 to approve the pattern book.
Ending: Staff will continue plan review as the applicant proceeds through site‑plan submittal; the pattern book approval allows site‑plan review to proceed on the design presented.
