Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
RE: Planning Commission recommendation for scheduling public hearing.
Background
During its regular meeting on May 1, 2013, the Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing on the first item listed below. After the public hearing the matter was deferred for
further study. At the Planning Commission meeting on May 15, the Planning Commission heard
staff reports regarding drainage, traffic management, and anticipated street improvements in the
area. During its regular meeting on June 5, the Planning Commission returned to the matter and
after discussion, moved to recommend rezoning the property as described below and as shown
on the attached illustration.
During its regular meeting on June 5, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on
the second item listed below. After public hearings the Planning Commission discussed the
application and then took action to recommend approval.
a. Zoning application [2013-410 for approximately 62.94 acres to be rezoned from RS-15 to
CH and approximately 15.39 acres to be rezoned from RS-15 to CF along Memorial
Blvd., Mr. Bricke Murfree applicant.
b. Zoning application [2024-424] for PRD amendment for approx. 12.6 acres along
Memorial Blvd., Mr. Ross Bradley applicant.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council schedule the matters for public hearings.
Concurrences
The Murfreesboro Planning Commission has studied and conducted a public hearing on each of
the matters and recommends approval of both of them.
Fiscal Impact
Staff is not aware of any fiscal impact that will result directly from this recommendation because
the cost of advertising for the public hearings is recouped by the City as part of the application
fee. The first item does involve an area with a significant and widespread drainage condition
that may involve the City taking an active role in construction of stormwater infrastructure that
will help alleviate this condition. This condition and its resolution are independent of the zoning
of the property. However, future development of the property which will to a considerable
degree be shaped by the zoning of the property may be directly involved in construction of some
elements of the needed drainage infrastructure and/or may participate financially in its
construction. At this point the project costs are unknown.
