Board approves Bassett PUD rezoning and development plan for 230‑unit multifamily project at Goose Creek Bypass
Summary
The board rezoned 7.031 acres at 2408–2412 Goose Creek Bypass to a Planned PD and approved the Bassett PUD development plan proposing 230 multifamily units, including a modification to allow foundation at grade for porches to improve accessibility.
City planning staff presented ordinance 2026‑07 and a companion development plan and told aldermen the proposal aligns with the Envision Franklin regional commerce guidance and includes design changes to blend with nearby Berry Farms. Planning staff said the planning commission recommended approval 8–0. Greg Gamble of Kimley‑Horn, representing the applicant, described material choices, stepped massing and a pedestrian courtyard intended to match the Berry Farms context.
The board discussed accessibility and precedent for modification‑of‑standard approvals before voting to approve the rezoning and the development plan. Staff noted one MOS to reduce the required finished‑floor elevation so porches and direct sidewalks can provide accessible routes; staff and planning recommended the MOS, citing earlier similar approvals. The board approved the rezoning and the development plan and the modification requests as presented.
