WATERLEVEL HWY and DURKEE RD. (058J F 014.00, 014.02, 014.03)
ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately
23.54 acres located at Waterlevel Hwy and Durkee Rd. as described in this
report, along with a corresponding plan of service and zoning plan for the area.
The area is inside the existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed
annexation is proposed to occur in 2024.
This report begins with a brief overview of the annexation process and the
report then turns to a proposed Plan of Services (POS) for the annexation area.
The services described are those that would be necessary for the City to provide
under Tennessee law. This area is proposed to receive city services in
accordance with the POS.
Introduction
Public Chapter 1101 (PC 1101), adopted as Tennessee law in 1998, required
cities to work cooperatively with other local governments to determine an
urban growth boundary (UGB) in which annexations could occur. Cleveland
has a twenty-nine square mile UGB that was based on a study of urbanization
and service requirements in a fifty square mile urban fringe area. The UGB was
amended in January 2010, expanding it near I-75 Exit 20 and in the vicinity of
the new airport site near Dry Valley Road. Cleveland can annex property
within its UGB by resolution.
PC 1101 Section 19 requires a “Plan of Services” (POS) prior to annexation and
these services must include: police and fire protection: water, electrical and
sanitary sewer services; solid waste collection; road and street construction
and repair; recreational facilities and programs; street lighting; and zoning
services. Public Chapter 225 adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and
signed by Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to
include impact on school attendance zones.
The property consists of two parcels, approximately 2.16 acres total. The
annexation would zone the property as CH Highway Commercial. There is an
existing commercial building, and no new development is proposed at this
time. The property is described as Tax Map 026G Group D Parcels 024.00 and
025.00.
Waterlevel Hwy Annexation Map
Legal Description
[place holder]
Plan of Services
1. Police Protection
Patrolling, radio response to calls and other routine police services using
the City’s personnel and equipment will be provided on the effective date
of the annexation.
There is no additional cost expected from this annexation.
2. Fire Protection
The Cleveland Fire Department could service this area immediately
without any impact to the budget.
3. Domestic Water, Sanitary Sewer Service, and Fire Hydrants
A. Domestic Water---Domestic water service is presently available to these
parcels via a 6’’ water main along the west side of Durkee Road. See
Figure 1 – Water Service.
B. Sanitary Sewer--- Plans of Service for the parcel at the southeast
quadrant of the Waterlevel Highway and Durkee Rd intersection (Tax
Parcel 058K-F-001.00) were prepared on July 3, 2023 and August 7,
2023. The plans of services for that parcel depicted an approximately 700
LF of 2” to 4” sewer force main is required to be installed, size to be
determined by a consultant. The proposed fore main will connect into a
future 8” gravity sewer main (currently under construction). To provide
sewer service to the parcel (058K-F-001.00), the Opinion of Probable Cost
is $129,200.
For these three tax parcels (058J-F-014.00, 014.02, and 014.03), it is
assumed that the sewer infrastructure described above has been
constructed. To extend sewer infrastructure from the southeast quadrant
of Durkee Road and Waterlevel Highway to the northeast quadrant of Tax
Parcel 058J-F-014.03, approximately 600 LF of 2” to 4” sewer force main
is required to be installed along Durkee Road. A road crossing of Durkee
Road is required. It is assumed that this road crossing can be
constructed by open cutting Durkee Road. To provide sewer service to
the parcel (058K-F-001.00), the Opinion of Probable Cost is $49,750.
The maximum capacity of the new force main will be 200 gpm across
Waterlevel Highway. As was mentioned in the Plans of Service for the
parcel at the southeast quadrant of the Waterlevel Highway and Durkee
Road intersection (Tax Parcel 058K-F-001.00), the maximum flow is the
maximum flow from all parcels south of Waterlevel Highway flowing into
the existing gravity sewer mains along Durkee Road.
The sewer main can be completed within 8 years. See Figure 2-Sewer
Service.
C. Fire Protection--- There is an existing fire hydrant on the northeast
corner of Tax Parcel 058J-F-014.00, 250’ from Tax Parcel 058J-F-014.02,
and 300’ north of Tax Parcel 058J-F-014.03. See Figure 1 – Water Service.

Dwelling Amendment (see Appendix for case materials)
December 12, 2023
City of Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission
Applicant: City of Cleveland
Request: Approval of ordinance to amend section 3.8 accessory
structures
PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
1. Analysis
Accessory structures have increasingly become a desired asset for property
owners in Cleveland, TN. The current ordinance is somewhat evasive when it
comes to ensuring that an accessory structure is clearly subordinate in use,
size, etc. to the principle structure. The purpose of this amendment is to isolate
accessory structures into 2 parts (minor, major,), give more specifics in terms
of size, setbacks, and other requirements. This amendment will additionally
add specific terms for accessory structures in appropriate zoning designations.

Annexation by Referendum
I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Cleveland is considering an option to explore Annexation by
Referendum. Tennessee Code Annotated 6-58-111 states that a municipality
may annex within a county's planned growth area or rural area, but the
annexation must be by referendum only and not by ordinance. The
municipality must follow the referendum process as provided for in §§ 6-51-
104 and 6-51-105.
As an initial step in this process, the following documents will provide a
Planning Area Study which examines the current and future development
possibilities of the locations which have requested to be annexed. It also
presents the estimated costs and revenue projections of these properties
becoming a part of the City of Cleveland via a draft Plan of Service. The Study
will also look at future growth questions in each area beyond the specific
properties in question in an attempt to analyze service needs and future growth
patterns.
To date the City has received 4 total requests which require annexation by
referendum. Each of these requests will be analyzed independently:
1. 9227 Frontage Road
Approximately 3.5 miles from the current city limits at its northern most point,
this 4.93-acre piece of property is poised for redevelopment. The property lies
within an area that has seen and is anticipated to continue to see significant
growth. Exist 33 provides access to several existing large employers with the
possibility of expansions and further industrial development on the horizon.
With future job growth comes the need for more housing options and
opportunities, business, and related growth.
Previously, the City of Cleveland began to evaluate the Mouse Creek Corridor
which includes Mouse Creek Road, Interstate 75, and Frontage Road and the
related development it contains. This property is the first in this area to request
annexation and municipal services, and with the anticipation that more will
follow. Currently approximately 2,000 people are employed in various
industries in the vicinity with another 2,000 expected within a ten-year period.
While the distance and present location should be considered in the short
term, a long-term analysis of the area and the future development lends itself
to a positive step for City leaders to consider. Industrial development requires
residential development and commercial services to be successful. To have all
of those components present a higher level of service is required, and the City
would need to be present to achieve success.
2. 872 Dry Valley Road
This property consists of approximately 113 acres and has requested
annexation while maintaining the RA zoning designation at this time. Sitting
just to the north of the Cleveland Jetport, and therefore Cleveland City Limits,
this area lends itself to residential and industrial development. Recent
developments in this area include a re-investment to an industrial site to the
south of the airport and a PUD residential development which is providing new
construction of homes.
Much of this area has been evaluated for annexation on several occasions over
the past 20 years. As the area continues to grow and higher level of service is
needed to provide industrial, residential, and commercial development. The
City of Cleveland and the Cleveland MPO recently completed an analysis of
Michigan Avenue and the possibility of a future connection to North Lee
Highway. With the City already providing a considerable investment in
infrastructure and services in the area, this property should be considered for
annexation.
3. Dry Valley Road
This property consists of approximately 160 acres and has requested
annexation while maintaining the RA zoning designation at this time. Sitting
just to the north of the Cleveland Jetport, and therefore Cleveland City Limits,
this area lends itself to residential and industrial development. Recent
developments in this area include a re-investment to an industrial site to the
south of the airport and a PUD residential development which is providing new
construction of homes.

Michigan Avenue and the possibility of a future connection to North Lee
Highway. With the City already providing a considerable investment in
infrastructure and services in the area, this property should be considered for
annexation.
4. South Lee Highway
This property consists of approximately 5.59 acres and has requested
annexation. Sitting just to the south of the existing city limits and just outside
of the existing Urban Growth Boundary, this property is primed for residential
development. The requested annexation includes a PUD zoning designation
which would allow for residential development of single-family homes.
While originally being placed outside the UGB by the referenced committee,
this property, like many others, is a prime example of what should be within
the UGB. Fronting a Federal Highway and being within approximately 475’ of
the existing City Limit, this property is destined for redevelopment to a higher
level of use, and therefore requiring a higher level of service.

ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately
4.93 acres located at Frontage Rd. as described in this report, along with a
corresponding plan of service and zoning plan for the area. The area is outside
the existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed annexation by
referendum is proposed to occur in 2024.
This report begins with a brief overview of the annexation process and the
report then turns to a proposed Plan of Services (POS) for the annexation area.
The services described are those that would be necessary for the City to provide
under Tennessee law. This area is proposed to receive city services in
accordance with the POS.
Introduction
Public Chapter 1101 (PC 1101), adopted as Tennessee law in 1998, required
cities to work cooperatively with other local governments to determine an
urban growth boundary (UGB) in which annexations could occur. Cleveland
has a twenty-nine square mile UGB that was based on a study of urbanization
and service requirements in a fifty square mile urban fringe area. The UGB was
amended in January 2010, expanding it near I-75 Exit 20 and in the vicinity of
the new airport site near Dry Valley Road. Cleveland can annex property
outside the UGB with a formal request by the property owner.
PC 1101 Section 19 requires a “Plan of Services” (POS) prior to annexation and
these services must include: police and fire protection: water, electrical and
sanitary sewer services; solid waste collection; road and street construction
and repair; recreational facilities and programs; street lighting; and zoning
services. Public Chapter 225 adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and
signed by Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to
include impact on school attendance zones.
The property consists of one parcel, approximately 4.93 acres total. The
annexation would zone the property as CH Highway Commercial. The land
holds a commercial building and would allow for future commercial
development with no residential components. The property is described as Tax
Map 014 Parcel 051.00.

ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately
5.59 acres located at South Lee Highway as described in this report, along with
a corresponding plan of service and zoning plan for the area. The area is
outside the existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed annexation
by referendum is proposed to occur in 2024.
This report begins with a brief overview of the annexation process and the
report then turns to a proposed Plan of Services (POS) for the annexation area.
The services described are those that would be necessary for the City to provide
under Tennessee law. This area is proposed to receive city services in
accordance with the POS.
Introduction
Public Chapter 1101 (PC 1101), adopted as Tennessee law in 1998, required
cities to work cooperatively with other local governments to determine an
urban growth boundary (UGB) in which annexations could occur. Cleveland
has a twenty-nine square mile UGB that was based on a study of urbanization
and service requirements in a fifty square mile urban fringe area. The UGB was
amended in January 2010, expanding it near I-75 Exit 20 and in the vicinity of
the new airport site near Dry Valley Road. Cleveland can annex property
outside the UGB with a formal request by the property owner.
PC 1101 Section 19 requires a “Plan of Services” (POS) prior to annexation and
these services must include: police and fire protection: water, electrical and
sanitary sewer services; solid waste collection; road and street construction
and repair; recreational facilities and programs; street lighting; and zoning
services. Public Chapter 225 adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and
signed by Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to
include impact on school attendance zones.
The property consists of one parcel, approximately 5.59 acres total. The
annexation would zone the property as PUD Planned Unit of Development. The
land is vacant, and the proposed development would allow a residential
neighborhood with a maximum of 30 single family homes. The property is
described as Tax Map 056 Parcel 092.00.
