JULY 29, 2015
Application: Z-5-051
Location: 4842 Trevino Court
Applicant: Albert Timothy Boyce
Zoning: Single-Family Residential District, RS-10
Request: Vary the minimum required ten (10) foot side yard setback by one (1) foot
The applicant seeks a one (1) foot variance from the minimum required ten (10) foot side yard
setback for the property located at 4842 Trevino Court in section 2 of the Blackman Grove
subdivision. The property is zoned RS-10. Per Chart 2 of the Murfreesboro Zoning Ordinance,
minimum setbacks for the RS-10 zone are: front, 35 feet; rear, 25 feet; and side, 10 feet. A two
(2) story house currently sits on the subject property. The house was built over the ten (10) foot
side setback line on the south, encroaching by as much as one (1) foot on the southeastern side of
the subject property. The applicant wishes to sell the house, but has been unable to do so due to
the house being out of compliance with zoning standards.
In the attached letter of application, the applicant attests that neither the practical difficulties
standard nor the unusual characteristics standard affect the subject property. Staff notes that the
subject property is located near the end of a cul-de-sac and includes a 25-foot drainage easement
across the rear (east) side. These characteristics—along with the required minimum setbacks—
limit the size and affect the layout of the property’s building envelope. With regard to the not
self-created standard, the applicant indicates that the house had already been constructed at the
time he purchased it; further, because the subject property was not surveyed at the time of
purchase, the applicant was unaware of the setback encroachment until recently.
If the Board approves the variance request, staff recommends the following condition:
1) The applicant shall submit a paper copy of the as-built survey and a paper copy of the
variance approval letter to the Rutherford County Register of Deeds for recording.
The applicant, Mr. Boyce, will be in attendance at the meeting to answer questions related to this
request.

STAFF COMMENTS
JULY 29, 2015
Application: Z-15-052
Location: 710 Memorial Boulevard
Applicant: Randy Taylor for Goodwill Industries
Zoning: Highway Commercial District, CH
Requests: 1) Grant a Special Use Permit to allow a temporary mobile recycling center;
2) Vary the forty (40) foot maximum receptacle length by eight (8) feet
The applicant seeks both a Special Use Permit and a Variance from the Board. Chart 1 (Uses
Permitted by Zoning District) of the Murfreesboro Zoning Ordinance identifies Temporary
Mobile Recycling Center as a use allowed in the CH zone by Special Use Permit. Section 31(A)
of the Zoning Ordinance places a one-year limitation on the duration of Special Use Permits
granted for this use. Section 31(C)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance limits the length of Temporary
Mobile Recycling Center receptacles to 40 feet.
The applicant wishes to continue using a trailer (48 feet in length) for the collection of clothes,
furniture, and miscellaneous household items at the Memorial Village Shopping Center at 710
Memorial Boulevard. The applicant has obtained permission from shopping center management
to continue operating the trailer. In the attached letter of application, the applicant indicates that
the trailer at 710 Memorial Boulevard is visited by an average of 38 donors per day.
With regard to the Special Use Permit, the applicant attests that—with the exception of
receptacle length—the requirements listed in Section 9(C) and Section 31(C) of the Zoning
Ordinance have been satisfied. Specifically, the attached letter of application indicates that the
Temporary Mobile Recycling Center: is reasonably compatible with adjoining properties; has
limited signage; is kept in a clean, safe, and sanitary condition; does not impair traffic flow; is
located at least 300 feet from residential districts; has no processing equipment; and upholds
minimum required setbacks. The Board has previously granted a Special Use Permit to this
applicant for this use; the applicant’s current Special Use Permit expires on July 31, 2015.
With regard to the Variance request, the applicant wishes to continue using a 48-foot trailer,
which exceeds the 40-foot limitation by eight (8) feet. The letter of application indicates that
adhering to the 40-foot trailer limitation when Goodwill Industries employs standard 48-foot
trailers would create a hardship and practical difficulty for the applicant. The Board has
previously granted a Variance to the applicant for a trailer 48 feet in length.
The Special Use Permit and Variance require separate motions. If the Board approves the
Special Use Permit, staff recommends the following conditions:
1) The semi-trailer shall not be located within a driveway aisle.
2) All parts of the semi-trailer shall comply with the minimum 42-foot front setback
requirement of the CH zone.
3) The Special Use Permit shall be valid from August 1, 2015, until July 31, 2016.
The applicant, Mr. Taylor, will be in attendance at the meeting to answer questions related to this
request.

Application: Z-15-053
Location: 1114 Mercury Boulevard
Applicant: Randy Taylor for Goodwill Industries
Zoning: Highway Commercial District, CH
Requests: 1) Grant a Special Use Permit to allow a temporary mobile recycling center;
2) Vary the forty (40) foot maximum receptacle length by eight (8) feet;
3) Vary the 300-foot minimum distance between receptacle and residentially-
zoned property by 175 feet
The applicant seeks a Special Use Permit and two Variances from the Board. Chart 1 (Uses
Permitted by Zoning District) of the Murfreesboro Zoning Ordinance identifies Temporary
Mobile Recycling Center as a use allowed in the CH zone by Special Use Permit. Section 31(A)
of the Zoning Ordinance places a one-year limitation on the duration of Special Use Permits
granted for this use. Section 31(C)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance limits the length of Temporary
Mobile Recycling Center receptacles to 40 feet. Section 31(C)(6) requires a minimum distance
of 300 feet between a Temporary Mobile Recycling Center and any residentially-zoned property.
The applicant wishes to continue using a trailer (48 feet in length) for the collection of clothes,
furniture, and miscellaneous household items at the Mercury Plaza shopping center at 1114
Mercury Boulevard, approximately 125 feet from the nearest residentially-zoned property. The
applicant has obtained permission from shopping center management to continue operating the
trailer. In the attached letter of application, the applicant indicates that the trailer at 1114
Mercury Boulevard is visited by an average of 38 donors per day.
With regard to the Special Use Permit, the applicant attests that—with the exception of
receptacle length and distance to residential properties—the requirements listed in Section 9(C)
and Section 31(C) of the Zoning Ordinance have been satisfied. Specifically, the attached letter
of application indicates that the Temporary Mobile Recycling Center: is reasonably compatible
with adjoining properties; has limited signage; is kept in a clean, safe, and sanitary condition;
does not impair traffic flow; has no processing equipment; and upholds minimum required
setbacks. The Board has previously granted a Special Use Permit to this applicant for this use;
the applicant’s current Special Use Permit expires on July 31, 2015.
With regard to the first Variance request, the applicant wishes to continue using a 48-foot trailer,
which exceeds the 40-foot limitation by eight (8) feet. The letter of application indicates that
adhering to the 40-foot trailer limitation when Goodwill Industries employs standard 48-foot
trailers would create a hardship and practical difficulty for the applicant. The Board has
previously granted a Variance to the applicant for a trailer 48 feet in length.
With regard to the second Variance request, the applicant wishes to continue using a trailer that
is situated 125 feet from the nearest residentially-zoned property. Section 31(C)(6) of the Zoning
Ordinance requires a minimum separation of 300 feet between a Temporary Mobile Recycling
Center and any residentially-zoned property. Thus, the applicant seeks a 175-foot variance from
this requirement. The western side of Second Avenue is zoned RS-10 and is currently used for
residential purposes. Staff is not aware of any complaints pertaining to the trailer from
neighboring residents. The Board has previously granted a Variance to the applicant to allow a
125-foot separation between the trailer and the nearest residentially-zoned property.
The Special Use Permit and Variances require separate motions. If the Board approves the
Special Use Permit, staff recommends the following conditions:
1) The semi-trailer shall not be located within a driveway aisle.
2) All parts of the semi-trailer shall comply with the minimum 42-foot front setback
requirement of the CH zone.
3) The Special Use Permit shall be valid from August 1, 2015, until July 31, 2016.
The applicant, Mr. Taylor, will be in attendance at the meeting to answer questions related to this
request.

MURFREESBORO BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
STAFF COMMENTS
JULY 29, 2015
Application: Z-15-055
Location: 3729 Manson Pike
Applicant: Clyde Rountree, Huddleston-Steele Engineering (for Charles Smotherman)
Zoning: Residential Multi-family District, RM-16
Local Commercial District, CL
Request: Grant a Special Use Permit to allow a day care center
The applicant seeks a Special Use Permit from the Board to allow a Day Care Center on the
property located at and adjoining 3729 Manson Pike. As depicted in the map on page 1, a
portion of the subject property lies within the CL district, while another portion lies within the
RM-16 district. Chart 1 (Uses Permitted by Zoning District) of the Murfreesboro Zoning
Ordinance identifies Day Care Center as a use allowed by right in the CL district. However, a
Day Care Center in the RM-16 district requires a Special Use Permit. The entire site lies within
the Gateway Design Overlay (GDO).
In the letter of application, the applicant indicates that the requirements listed in Section 9(C) and
Section 9(D)(2)(bb) of the Zoning Ordinance have been satisfied. With regard to specific
standards for Day Care Centers, the applicant attests that: a proper loading area is provided;
vehicles will not back onto any street; a statement from the Tennessee Department of Human
Services will be provided; the facility will be properly screened from neighboring residential
properties; and off-street parking will be provided on-site. The applicant will be required to
submit a site plan for Planning Commission review.
If the Board approves the Special Use Permit, staff recommends the following condition:
1) The applicant shall provide a copy of the required statement from Tennessee Department
of Human Services (DHS) to the City of Murfreesboro prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy. The DHS statement shall conform to the requirements listed in
Section 9(D)(2)(bb)(3) of the Murfreesboro Zoning Ordinance.
The applicant, Mr. Rountree, will be in attendance at the meeting to answer questions related to
this request.
