Franklin commission approves annexation near I-65 and rezoning along Nashville Road
Summary
The Franklin City Commission passed two ordinances in a roll-call vote: annexation of about 57.29 acres near Interstate 65 and rezoning roughly 61 acres on Nashville Road from single-family residential to highway business and light industrial, as requested by Kyore LLC.
The Franklin City Commission approved two land-use ordinances during its Aug. 25, 2025 meeting, adopting an annexation of about 57.29 acres on the west side of I‑65 and a rezoning of roughly 61 acres on Nashville Road requested by Kyore LLC.
At second summary reading, Kathy Dillard presented Ordinance No. 202523 to annex the I‑65 parcel roughly along the Kentucky–Tennessee state line and Ordinance No. 2025024 to change zoning on the Nashville Road parcel from R1S single‑family residential to E4 highway business and I1 light industrial. Both measures were approved by roll-call vote and will take effect on passage and publication; full ordinance copies are available from the city clerk.
The commission conducted separate roll-call votes for each ordinance. For Ordinance 202523 the clerk recorded the following responses: Commissioner Pal — yes; Commissioner Bush — present; Mayor Dixon — yes; Commissioner McQuary — yes; Commissioner Stewart — yes. The same pattern was recorded for Ordinance 2025024. The ordinances’ text, including site descriptions and zoning maps, will be posted on the city website and made available by request at City Hall during normal business hours.
Supporters said the moves align with the city’s comprehensive plan. Dillard summarized the parcels’ locations and recommended approval at second summary reading. No public objections were recorded on the meeting transcript during second summary reading.
Next steps: the ordinances become effective upon publication and the planning and zoning office will handle any implementation details and public records requests.
