RESOLUTION 32-2019-20
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION DIRECTOR
AND STAFF TO PERFORM A STUDY WITH REGARD TO CREATION OF A DESIGN
OVERLAY DISTRICT FOR S.R.76/DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. PARKWAY
WHEREAS the City Council finds that unfettered development can lead to a host of problems
that decrease property values and thus reduce the ad valorem property tax base; and
WHEREAS the City Council finds that design overlay districts can lead to the maintenance of,
and to an increase in, real property values, and thus to an increase in the ad valorem property tax
base, which will help to maintain, sustain, and increase City services without property tax
increases; and
WHEREAS the City Council finds that design overlay districts greatly enhance the aesthetics
of our City by imposing architectural design guidelines and signage standards; and
WHEREAS the City Council finds that design overlay district standards can lead to improved
traffic safety and interconnectivity between commercial real property tracts, while unfettered
commercial property development can lead to traffic gridlock and unsafe streets; and
WHEREAS the City Council finds that one particularly fast growing area of the City,
specifically State Route 76 / Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway, needs to be studied by the
Regional Planning Commission with regard to whether a design overlay district should be
established thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CLARKSVILLE, TENNESSEE:
That the Clarksville City Council hereby requests the Regional Planning Commission Director
and staff to conduct a study with regard to creation of a design overlay district for S.R. 76/Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Parkway.
