Commission recommends annexation of 8.81 acres on Sulphur Springs Road with RS‑15 interim zoning
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to recommend annexing an 8.81‑acre tract along Sulphur Springs Road with interim RS‑15 zoning; the applicant said the intent is to develop larger single‑family lots consistent with the future land use plan, and commissioners asked staff to scrutinize future curb cuts and driveway impacts.
The Murfreesboro Planning Commission on March 11 recommended that city council approve the annexation and plan of services for about 8.81 acres at the southwest corner of Sulphur Springs Road and North Thompson Lane, with interim RS‑15 zoning.
Planning staff told the commission the property is currently RM (residential medium density) in the unincorporated county and that the applicant intends to develop larger single‑family lots consistent with the city's future land‑use study. The parcel was presented without an immediate rezoning request beyond the interim designation; staff said any preliminary plat and curb‑cut proposals would return to the commission for site‑plan review.
There were no public speakers during the hearing on this item. Commissioners asked staff to pay attention to future driveway placements and the number of curb cuts on Sulphur Springs Road when a preliminary plat is submitted. The commission approved the annexation recommendation subject to staff comments; the item will proceed to city council for final action.
