Planning Commission backs Bassett PUD rezoning and 5‑story multifamily plan for Goose Creek site
Summary
The commission recommended rezoning 7.031 acres at 2408–2412 Goose Creek Bypass to a planned PD to allow a five‑story, 230‑unit multifamily building. Staff supported the plan and one modification to reduce foundation height for accessibility; the matter goes to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
The Franklin Municipal Planning Commission voted June 25 to recommend the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve rezoning and a development plan for the Bassett PUD at the northwest corner of I‑65 and Goose Creek Bypass.
Staff said the 7.031‑acre site is in the Regional Commerce design concept with a special consideration allowing standalone multifamily at this location; the proposed plan calls for a five‑story, 230‑unit multifamily building with a mix of one‑ and two‑bedroom units and ground‑floor amenities designed to activate the street.
Jeff Rosiak of Kimley‑Horn, presenting for Madison Capital, said the team refined the building’s massing and façade to fit the Goose Creek/Berry Farms corridor and highlighted pedestrian connections, interior amenity spaces, and screening of an adjacent self‑storage site. The plan proposes internal trails and plazas, and the applicant said architecture improvements were made since the conceptual workshop.
Staff recommended approval of the rezoning (Ordinance 2026‑07) and the accompanying development plan (Resolution 2026‑35) with conditions. One modification requested a reduction of the standard 18‑inch finished‑floor foundation height to allow accessible at‑grade porches; staff supported that MOS citing recent precedent and accessibility considerations. The commission voted to recommend the rezoning and development plan to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
Next steps: the recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for final consideration; detailed site plan, building elevations and permit reviews will follow if BOMA approves the rezoning.
Action taken: commission recommended approval of Ordinance 2026‑07 and Resolution 2026‑35 (development plan with MOS for foundation height).
