The Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) was adopted by the City of Gallatin on March 7,2000 (Resolution No. R0003-0l2)(Figure 1), approved by the County Coordinating Committee on March 30, 2000 and approved by the Local Govemment Planning Advisory Committee of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development on April 26, 2000. By statute, the UGB establishes a boundary around the municipality and other surrounding tenitory deemed necessary to accommodate projected growth of population and where services are best provided by the municipality. The Gallatin City Council requested city staffto consider expanding the UGB to address minor changes to the boundary with Hendersonville and to include portions of the Ocana community including the site of the Liberty Creek School complex now under construction. In preparing the report, the City coordinated with various departmcnts and utility providers to gather information on development and improvement plans. The report, prepared to support the basis for establishing the UGB, included evaluating the projected population growth of the area and other items required by Section 6-58-106, Tenn. Code Annotated. Based on the population forecast, additional industrial lands will be needed to provide sufficient areas for industrial uses and activities needed to support the projected population to accommodate economic development. While population growth forecast used in the analysis is less than the previously applied exponential or linear forecasts, it does apply amethodology that ensures an allocation of a share of the county's overall projected growth to the city and sunounding areas and also allocates population for additional growth in other communities and in more rural areas of the countY, Criteria of the statute Population gtowth The City projects that the population will continue to grow both within the City limits and thE area within the Urban Growth Boundary outside of the City limits. The City applied a shift-share forecasting of population based on the University of Tennessee Center for Business and Economic Research office projections prepared at the county level for 2040 to derive a future population for the city' In addition, specific developments that have received vested rights or were approved for specific development were assumed to partially or fully develop over the next twenty years, The current population (2020) of the City is estimated at 44,332 and within the Urban Growth Boundary, including the Ocana area, is 52,997. By'2040,the projected population is 58,856 for the city and 69,071within the Urban Growth Boundary (Table l). Re as onab ly comPac t t ev i torY The territory proposed with the Urban Growth Boundary is reasonably compact and is contiguous to the to current City boundary. The one square mile of the Ocana area being added to the UGB is contiguous miles. The proposed the current City limits and the existing UGB. The existing UGB totals 81.17 square UGB will totalg2.46square miles (Figure 2). The proposed UGB removes a small portion of land, portion of the City, and a narrow sffip located on the north sidl of the CSX Railroad, in the far western of land adacent to Rogers euany on the west side of Big Station Camp Boulevard (42,3 actes), from 2 01/05/21 City Council Meeting Agenda-Page 6 the UGB. The amendment also adds a small area, including Big Station Camp Boulevard and lands east of this roadway between the CSX Railroad and Station Camp Creek (21.l5+acres), to the City's UGB and adds approximately 850.5 acres in the Ocana area, including the site of the new Liberty Creek School oomplex, to the CitY's UGB' T'erritory which the municipality is hetter able and prepared to provide urban services The City is best able to service the lands within the existing and proposed UGB with municipal services. ,6" 42,3+acre portion of area to be removed from the UGB would be better serviced by the City of Hendersonville. The 1.32 square miles of the Ocana area would be better serviced by the City of Gallatin, particularly since the Gallatin City limits cunently abuts this area and Fire Station #4 is located in close proximity to this area where fire service can be promptly provided if it is anncxcd. Thcsc arcas are within the White House Utility District service area and have full utility service that can support more dense or intense development. Currently, two roadways connect the City with the proposed Ocana area addition. City's abitity to develop andfacilitate resources to service the territory and cost projections of core infrastructure needed to provide the services The report indicates that the cost to provide city infrastructure to areas of the UGB not served by a fulI servi"e utility provider will exceed $11,747,000 (202A $). This includes extending central water and/or trunk sewer line with lift stations into areas of the City not currently scrviced or under-served with both to central potable water and trunk central sewer services. Approximately $2,070,000 would be required provide,aclditional trunk line sanitary sewer service within the service area of the city while approximately $6,515,000 would be required to extend these trunk lines service areas outside of the city and not within the WHUD service area. Approximately $3,163,000 of central water line system improvements, in areas outside the City but within the UGB, would be needed to provide sufficient for ,ou"rug" for future development. This rcprcscnts approximately $587,500 per year, in2020 dollars, year period from 2020 to needed trunk line water and sewer infrastructure improvements for the 20 maintairlrehabilitate and replace facilities 2040, This does not include resources needed to upgrade or system on the existing system.

Public uses are permitted in residential J 01/05/21 City Council Meeting Agenda-Page 7 and other zoning districts. As market practices occur the need for additional commercial properties appears not to 1e evident. In the past seven years there have been notable areas where the cbmmercial zoning was changed to residential or mixed use zoning. Including portions of the McCain Station siie, Kensington Downs, the Baker's Crossing, Hidden Creek and Greensboro Village master planned developments, while new commercial developments were established at certai]r nodes including at Windsong and the Paddock at Kennesaw Farms and within The Meadows site. Approximately 13.4 percent (200 acres) of commercially designated lands in the UGB are vacant. How"u"., this does not account for portions of commercial land that are partially vacant. A more detailed analysis of commercial lands is needed to determine if significant commercial lands are needed to accommodate the 2040 projected population. Approximately 13'4 percent (154 acres) of industrial lands in the UGB me vacant. This does not consider that many of ihe induslial properties are comprised of smaller parcels or lots not positioned to accommodate larger employers- or operational needs, including industry that needs rail service. Additional ind-ustrial lanis outsidJ of the ounent city limits likely will be needed to meet future demand' A few parcels can be redeveloped/reused if they are appropriate for operations. The City has largely annexed properties over the past 20 years to meet gtowing industrial demand. There are no large scale agriouftural lands, foreits, or recreational areas and wildlife management areas within the UGg oiin the tenitory under consideration for inclusion within the urban growth boundaries. Very few areas exist with these classifications and most are associated with the Old Hickory Lake and TVA reservations. Some forested area exist in areas of steep slopcs on the northern and westem fringes of the UGB. These areas are not suitable for higher density development. The proposed UGB and related urban expansion should not have long-term effects on most agricultural lands, forests, recreational areas and wildlife management areas. This study supports the expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary to encompass an area of 86.46 square miles or just over 55,334 acres. This will represent a population density of 798 persons per square mile or 1.24 persons per acre. This represents a relatively Iow density development pattem of slightly more than one unit per two acres. The proposed UGB presented in this repor"t is consistent with Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 6, Chapter 58, Section 106' 4 01/05/21 City Council Meeting Agenda-Page 8 FrG,JR.e 1.
