Agenda June 12, 2015 Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Re: Public Hearings to be held on June 18, 2015 Background Attached is additional information for the public hearings to be held by the City Council. The items are as follows: a. Rezoning application [2015-409] for approximately 1.4 acres located at 1508 East Main Street to be rezoned from RM-16 to CF and approximately 0.47 acres located at 1512 East Main Street to be rezoned from RS-15 to CF, Mr. Donny Dement applicant. b. Rezoning application [2015-411] for approximately 0.64 acres located at 417 East Burton Street, 419 East Burton Street, and 427 East Burton Street to be rezoned from CM-RS-8 to OG-R, Ms. Marian Katrice Dunston, Mr. Rodney W. Graves, and Ms. Teresa Ann Carlton applicants. Recommendation The City Council will need to conduct public hearings on these matters after which it will consider ordinances for their adoption. Concurrences The Murfreesboro Planning Commission conducted public hearings on these matters during its regular meeting on May 6, 2015. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of both items.

Rezoning application [2015-409] for approximately 1.4 acres located at 1508 East Main Street to be rezoned from RM-16 to CF and approximately 0.47 acres located at 1512 East Main Street to be rezoned from RS-15 to CF, Mr. Donny Dement applicant. The subject property is located at the southeast corner of East Main Street and South Baird Lane. It consists of two separate parcels, 1508 East Main Street and 1512 East Main Street. 1508 East Main Street, which is approximately 1.4 acres in area, is located directly on the corner and is currently developed with a vacant single-family home. It is currently zoned RM-16 (Residential Multi-Family District). 1512 East Main Street, which is approximately 0.47 acres in area, is currently developed with the applicant’s personal residence as well as a garage apartment. It is currently zoned RS-15 (Single- family Residential District). The subject property is directly across the street from a small commercial node zoned CL (Commercial Local District) at the northeast corner of the intersection. The existing commercial uses include Domino’s Pizza, Far East Restaurant, a hookah lounge, and a hair salon. The south side of East Main Street is predominantly zoned RM-16 from just east of Middle Tennessee Boulevard to one parcel west of Jupiter Drive. There are several multi-family residential developments along the south side of East Main Street in this area, including East Main Townhomes and Allen House Apartments. In addition, a new apartment complex called East Main Quarters is proposed to be constructed directly to the east of the subject property. At the northwest corner of the intersection are a number of parcels owned by MTSU. There are single-family residential uses and RS-15 zoning to the south of the subject property and further to the east along East Main Street. Hobgood Elementary is located one block to the south. The applicant does not currently have development plans for the subject property. He plans on marketing the properties for sale in the near future. He believes that the proximity of the property to the university makes it a suitable location for commercial uses that will serve university students and employees, especially pedestrians. While the CF (Commercial Fringe District) zoning does permit a wide variety of commercial uses, it does not permit many of the more intense commercial uses permitted in the CH (Highway Commercial) zone, such as automotive repair, motor vehicle sales, kennels, wrecker services, and contractor’s storage. If the rezoning request is approved, any future development will be required to comply with the City’s minimum development standards. A 12’-wide Type C buffer will be required adjacent to property zoned RM-16 and a 15’-wide Type D buffer will be required adjacent to property zoned RS-15. The Planning Commission will need to conduct a public hearing, after which it will need to discuss the matter and then formulate a recommendation for City Council. OLD MAIN C AIRPORT AVE IR ST ELROD ST HEIGHT CU LN RM-16 S N BAIRD CL E MA IN ST COLLEG E LN WOMA CK Proposed Rezoning RM-16 to CF RS-15 E MA RM-16 IN ST Proposed Rezoning D LN RS-15 to CF S BAIR RM-16 JUPITER RICHL AND PL PL E AV TY NE RM- 16 Ê Rezoning Request For Property Along E.

Rezoning application [2015-411] for approximately 0.64 acres located at 417 East Burton Street, 419 East Burton Street, and 427 East Burton Street to be rezoned from CM-RS-8 to OG-R, Ms. Marian Katrice Dunston, Mr. Rodney W. Graves, and Ms. Teresa Ann Carlton applicants. The subject property is located along the north side of East Burton Street and along the west side of Lee Street. It consists of three parcels, all of which are currently zoned CM- RS-8 (Medical District Single-Family Residential). The westernmost parcel is developed with a single-family home and the easternmost parcel is developed with a non- conforming triplex. The middle parcel was also developed with a non-conforming triplex until recently when the structure was destroyed by fire. The subject property is bordered by OG-R (General Office District – Residential) zoning on its north and east sides and RS-8 (Single-family Residential District) zoning on its west and south sides. There is a variety land uses in the vicinity of the subject property, including medical offices, specialty shops, duplexes, triplexes, and single-family homes. The owner of the middle parcel (419 East Burton Street) wishes to rebuild a triplex on his property. However, the CM-RS-8 zoning only permits single-family residential uses and does not permit multi-family residential uses, such as triplexes. In addition, the non- conforming triplex on the easternmost parcel would be in the same situation if it was destroyed by fire. The adjacent OG-R zoning, however, permits duplexes, triplexes, and quadruplexes. Therefore, nearby properties in the OG-R zone developed with similar multi-family uses would be permitted to rebuild if they were destroyed by fire or natural disaster. All three property owners have joined together to request the rezoning of their properties from CM-RS-8 to OG-R in order to allow additional flexibility in the use of the land. In addition to allowing certain multi-family residential uses that the CM-RS-8 zone does not, the OG-R zone would permit additional low-intensity commercial and office uses that are also not allowed in the CM-RS-8 zone. The Planning Commission will need to conduct a public hearing, after which it will need to discuss the matter and then formulate a recommendation for City Council. RM-12 PCD RM-12 RS-8 BELL ST OG-R Y AVE PUD N MANE AREA LEE ST CM-R CM-RS-8 E BURTO N ST RS-8 PCD RS-8 OG-R Ê Rezoning Request For Property Along E.

The expansion will add ten additional classrooms, gymnasium, stage area and other supporting spaces sufficient to expand the capacity of the school by approximately 200 additional students. Previously, the City Council approved the architect fees for Murfreesboro City Schools to engage Johnson and Bailey to design the addition and because of that we have since received the attached bids for the construction of the facility to open for the 2016-2017 school year. The great news is that the winning bid came in at $294,600 below our original projection. Therefore, we are requesting that the Council approve the low bidder, Robert S. Biscan and Company in the amount of $5,480,000 so that construction can begin on this final phase of improvements for Hobgood Elementary School. Thank you for your consideration of our request.  RESOLUTION 15-R-27 expressing official intent that certain expenditures to be incurred in connection with certain public works projects, and related expenditures for the construction of the Hobgood Elementary School expansion, be reimbursed from proceeds of notes, bonds, or other indebtedness to be issued or incurred by the City of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council hereby finds and determines as follows: (a) that it is in the best interest of the Municipality to proceed immediately with the Project, thereby incurring certain capital expenditures; (b) that the Municipality has certain funds available which may be used temporarily for this purpose, pending the issuance of bonds, notes, or other indebtedness of the Municipality; (c) that the City Council anticipates that the Municipality will issue its bonds, notes, or other indebtedness for the purpose of financing the Project; (d) that the City Council reasonably expects to reimburse such amounts to such fund or source from which the expenditures may be made on a temporary basis as soon as proceeds from issuance of such bonds, notes, or other indebtedness are available; and, (e) that this declaration of official intent is consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the Municipality. SECTION 2. The City Council of the Municipality hereby establishes its official intent to issue bonds, notes, or other indebtedness to finance the costs of the Project and other related expenditures in an amount not to exceed Five Million, Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($5,750,000). Pending the issuance of such bonds, notes, or other indebtedness, funds necessary to finance such costs shall be advanced from such sources of funds on hand and available for such purpose, and any amounts so advanced shall be reimbursed from the proceeds of the tax-exempt bonds, notes, or other indebtedness when issued or incurred.

REGULAR AGENDA June 15, 2015 Honorable Mayor McFarland and Members of City Council Subject: Community Technology Center Council approval is being sought for the eventual lease of a portion of the Hobgood Elementary School site for the construction of a Community Technology Center. Background The Community Technology Center (CTC) is a concept to provide access to computers and computer services to residents of the community that lack them. These “technology centers” have existed in public libraries for a number of years. The basic concept of the CTC is to create a “bookless” library with a variety of computers and study/meeting rooms. The Hobgood School area has been identified as a neighborhood that would greatly benefit from such a facility. The CTC has proposed a site in the northeast corner of Hobgood School, suitable for a 6,500 square foot building with shared parking with the School. The Murfreesboro City School Board approved the concept last Tuesday, June 9th. Gary Green, chairman of the Linebaugh Library Board and Rita Shacklett, Director of the Library will be present to propose and answer questions about the CTC project. Fiscal Impact No fiscal impact from the proposed use of the Hobgood School site. The Linebaugh Library Board does intend to seek capital funding for the construction of the CTC from the City, the Christy-Houston Foundation and other sources. The Library Board is seeking private dollars to fund operation of the CTC for the first three years. Afterwards, the City and the County would equally divide the annual cost of operating the facility. Recommendation Staff recommends your approval for the use of the northeast corner of the Hobgood Elementary School site as a location for the Community Technology Center.

They will then be able to complete job applications and apply for other services, do education requirements and receive free/low cost computer training to enhance their employment opportunities. The CTC will also serve as a training service for small businesses. It will also offer a variety of software and equipment for students including 3D printers and CAD software. In addition, there will be meeting space and study rooms available—all at no charge. We have identified a huge audience needing such services and have prepared a plan to address this compelling community need with an extremely modest cost, especially in relation to the huge value it will provide. Our Dream These “technology centers” have existed in public libraries for a number of years within their existing facilities. This was the first standalone “bookless” library! Around the same time, our Library Board was approached with a similar idea. After much study and discussion by the Library Board, the Foundation and the Friends’ organization, it was the consensus that this concept was something that would greatly benefit the lives of Rutherford County residents. We are often asked what we think a library will look like ten, fifteen and even twenty years from now. While we can’t predict the future, we think this may be the answer and made the decision not to wait to provide access to this technology and better serve the citizens of Rutherford County. The basic concept is to create a "bookless" center or Community Technology Center (CTC) filled with a variety of computers (MACs, PCs, Linux, iPads, e-readers, etc.) and study/meeting rooms for students, small businesses, training, computer classes, etc. We are looking at the Hobgood area in Murfreesboro as a neighborhood that would greatly benefit from such a facility. Many of the residents in this area do not have computer or Internet access in their homes. As it is located in an area close to an elementary school, middle school and university, we feel it is ideal for our pilot project. Our plan is to fund the project with private funds for the first 3 years and after such time the City of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County would take over the operating budget. On the advice of Murfreesboro City Attorney Susan McGannon, we have formed a committee with Gary Green (Library Board Vice-Chair), Carlton Miller (Friends of Linebaugh), Rick LaLance (Foundation and City Council), Allen McAdoo (County Commissioner for the target district), Charlie Baum (Foundation and County Commission), Kevin Robertson (LPLS Systems Administrator) and Rita Shacklett (Library Director). Mr. Green has agreed to serve as the chair of the CTC Committee. Ms. McGannon is currently working on finalizing a memorandum of understanding. Our hopes are to have this up and running by the end of 2015. Explore. Imagine. Engage. LINEBAUGH PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM Serving Rutherford County since 1948
