Council advances multiple rezoning and annexation items, with one abstention
Summary
The committee sent several land-use items to full council: Crossroads Phase Two rezoning, a Nexus Tennessee parcel swap (one abstention), a $25,000 planning appropriation, and annexation and plan-of-services motions for Bowman Massie and Mayberry Brights Lane (committee votes mostly 6–1).
At its May 12 meeting the Gallatin City Council Committee advanced a package of land-use and annexation items to the full council, moving forward rezonings, a planning appropriation and multiple annexations despite questions about traffic and a PowerPoint/map labeling error during one presentation.
Planner Brian Rose described an ordinance to rezone approximately 25.35 acres for Crossroads Phase Two (the portion formerly shown as Chandler Marketplace) from mixed-use to plan general commercial; he noted a right-in/right-out access onto Greenleaf Boulevard, required traffic studies and a request for signage exceptions. Applicant representative Brett Snyder (CSDG) told the council a traffic study is under review and that some roadway widening is likely. The committee voted to send the rezoning to council.
Separately, the Nexus Tennessee request would swap parcels (rezoning 4.44 acres from R8 PRD to MU and 5.25 acres from MU to planned business park) to concentrate business uses. Planning commission recommended approval 4–0. One council member said she would abstain pending more details; the motion to send to council passed with one abstention.
The committee also approved sending an appropriation of $25,000 from Project Walhock for planning-department office renovations.
Annexation items included the Bowman Massie property (125.48 acres) and the Mayberry/Brights Lane property (about 129.84 acres), both accompanied by plans of service; staff emphasized developer-driven infrastructure and clarified some signage and mapping confusion in the presentation slide deck. The committee sent these annexations to council; recorded committee tallies reported multiple 6–1 outcomes.
Council members questioned traffic impacts (Harris Lane, Greenleaf Boulevard, and the proximity to 386), signage exceptions and how stub roads will connect to adjacent apartments. Staff said traffic improvements are determined after developer traffic studies at the FMDP stage. The committee’s action advances the items to full council for final readings and public hearings.
