Autumn Wood Apartments, Phase 2 [2015-3055] site plan for 144-unit multi- family residential development on 6.86 acres zoned RM-16 located along Old Fort Parkway, Mr. John Elliott developer. This is the site plan review for the second phase of the Autumn Woods Apartments multi-family development. Phase 1 was approved at the March 18th Planning Commission meeting. Much like Phase 1, the plan for Phase 2 consists of 6 buildings with a total of 144 dwelling units. The property is zoned RM-16 (except for a northernmost portion of the access drive off of Old Fort Parkway) and the multi-family uses are permitted by right in the RM-16 zone. Access from Old Fort Parkway is proposed to be via a private drive, as opposed to a new public street as had been previously contemplated several years ago. The Planning Commission reviewed this site plan at its May 20th regular meeting. Due to discussion regarding ownership and access rights pertaining to the portion of the subject property directly adjacent to the H&K property to the west and containing the drive to Old Fort Parkway, the Planning Commission deferred action on this site plan. Since that time, City Staff has researched these issues. The applicants propose leaving the existing drive that serves Town and Country Apartments to the west in its current condition. They propose to expand the width of the driveway, however, to serve the needs of the proposed apartment complex as well. If this is to be the case, the topping for the new portion of the driveway would also need to be applied to the existing driveway, so that the entire driveway is one single surface. Approximately 5’ of the existing driveway, though, is on the H&K property to the west. This 5’ would be part of the existing driveway to be topped. In order to work in this 5’, the applicants need to provide evidence that they have permission to work on the H&K property. In addition, they will need to provide evidence that they have access rights to use this 5’ of the existing driveway in order to benefit their property. If they cannot provide the aforementioned evidence, the driveway will need to be reconstructed entirely on the subject property, so that the proposed apartment complex does not rely on the portion of the existing driveway that is off-site. In addition, buffer plantings are required along the west side of the shared driveway adjacent to the H&K property. A Type D buffer is required where the subject property is zoned CH, and a Type C buffer is required where the subject property is zoned RM-16. This was stated in the May 20th staff comments but it has not yet been addressed. In Staff’s opinion, the above issues should be addressed prior to approval by the Planning Commission. Staff recommends deferral once again until such time as the above issues can be resolved. Staff Comments (Staff Comments #1-24 were generated by the Engineering Department. The Engineering Department has not had an opportunity to comprehensively review the latest plans for compliance with comments #1- 24. Additional comments from the Engineering Department may be forthcoming at the Planning Commission meeting.): 1) Provide proper turn around at proposed secondary gated entrance if visitors cannot get through the gate. 2) A final plat will be required to create sewer easements prior to the first Certificate of Occupancy. An access easement should be included to benefit the existing Town and County apartments and should extend as far south as the southernmost existing entrance into the Town and Country site. 3) Entrance on Old Fort Pkw/Hwy 96 will need to be completely reconstructed with a 3 lane cross section with a 14’ lane in and 2 11’ lanes out for a total of 36’ in width. 4) Sidewalk will need to be extended from the commercial development to the drive including a handicap ramp at the drive. 5) Add handicap ramps to the drive for the commercial lot. 6) Provide evidence that the septic lines for the existing apartments are not under the proposed drive. 7) Compaction reports will be required in all fill areas prior to footing inspections. 8) Provide turn simulation for a fire truck around the site. 9) TDOT ROW permit will be required for work located within the ROW for Old Fort Pkwy/Hwy 96 10) Covering pervious parking spaces will not count as pervious area since the roof will be impervious. 11) Provide details for pervious pavers. Show any underdrains if they are to be used. 12) If this development is to include a car wash, it will need to be covered and connected to the sanitary sewer. 13) Provide a grading plan with proposed contours. 14) If the proposed grass channel is to be used for stormwater quality it should be labeled as such. 15) Demonstrate compliance with stormwater quality requirements. 16) Label curb cuts and provide turf reinforcement mat if needed to prevent erosion. 17) Provide elevations details for all storm pipes. 18) A “2’ break in curb” label has an arrow pointing to building 8. Please revise. 19) This development must comply with the City’s stormwater quality design standards. Provide a Stormwater Management Plan including associated design and calculations to the City Engineer’s office for review and approval prior to a building permit. 20) Provide an Engineer’s Certification of Stormwater Quality Controls to the City Engineer’s office for review and approval prior to Certificate of Occupancy. 21) Provide a Stormwater Facilities Operation and Maintenance plan and agreement to the City Engineer’s office for review and approval prior to Certificate of Occupancy. 22) This development will require a State of Tennessee Construction General Permit. Provide evidence of the Construction General Permit to the City Engineer’s office prior to construction commencement. 23) Provide an Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control plan and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan to the City Engineer’s office for review and approval prior to a building permit. 24) A Land Disturbance Permit will be required. A separate Land Disturbance Permit application shall be made with the City Engineer’s office for review and approval prior to a building permit 25) Show adjacent property zonings on landscape plan and label proposed buffers. Please provide adjacent zoning on ALL landscape plan sheets. 26) Please choose another tree in place of the proposed white pine as they do not grow well in the middle TN area. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 27) Please identify and locate all utilities and easements on the landscape plan. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 28) Complete buffer plantings and/or perimeter planting yards on sheet L.3 along both sides of private drive to Highway 96 and include the proper planting yard widths. A 15’-wide Type D buffer is required adjacent to the H&K property where the subject property is zoned CH and a 12’-wide Type C buffer is required where the subject property is zoned RM-16. The buffer requirements are not being met adjacent to the H&K property. This still needs to be addressed. 29) Label the zoning of the adjacent properties on the landscape plan sheets. Please provide adjacent zoning on ALL landscape plan sheets. 30) A 12’-wide Type C buffer is required along all property lines adjacent to properties zoned RS-15. Show and label Type C buffer where needed. The minimum 12’ Type C buffer width is not being met adjacent to the southeast corner of the H&K property. Revise plans to demonstrate compliance. 31) A 10’-wide Type A buffer is required along all property lines adjacent to properties zoned CH. Show and label Type A buffer where needed. The minimum width for a Type A buffer has been provided. Urban Environmental will review the buffer design at a later date. 32) Please submit an irrigation plan for staff review. All properties 1.5 acres or greater are required to install an automated irrigation system. An irrigation plan still needs to be submitted. 33) Please include a sheet that shows overall landscape plan. A landscape master plan has been provided. 34) Please add the required ANSI note on landscape plan. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 35) Evergreen trees are to be specified by height and not caliper inches. Please reconcile the material schedule. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 36) In the plant material schedule please add “single/straight central leader” to the notes section of the canopy trees. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 37) Please add— 4’ Clear Trunk, Full Canopy—to any proposed ornamental trees in the plant material schedule. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 38) Any multi-stem trees should list minimum and maximum number of canes and a minimum size in caliper inches for each cane. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 39) All parking rows are required to be originated and terminated with a shade tree. (To be reviewed at a later date by Urban Environmental.) 40) In the site data table on the master plan, there appears to be some text overlaid on other text. Please correct. This has been addressed. 41) The information provided is not sufficient to determine whether or not this site qualifies for the density bonuses proposed. If the following information cannot be provided prior to the Planning Commission meeting, it is recommended that the applicant withdraw this item from the agenda until such time as sufficient information can be provided. Revisions to the density bonus information should be made as noted below. 42) Provide more detailed density bonus calculations, showing how the formulas in the Zoning Ordinance are being applied to this plan. In the density bonus calculations, the percentage increases should be based on 269 units rather than 288 units. Please revise the calculations. 43) In order for Staff to review the requested density bonus for the playground, please submit additional details on the design of the playground, including the proposed equipment. In addition, a fence is required around the playground in order to qualify for the density bonus. Show the required fence on the site plan. The square footage of the playground in the calculations does not match the square footage of the playground in the playground detail. Please reconcile. In addition, based on the square footage in the playground detail, it appears that the correct percentage increase is 5% instead of 3.258%. Regardless, the 6 unit maximum increase will still govern. 44) In order for Staff to review the requested density bonus for the clubhouse, please submit a floorplan for the clubhouse denoting the areas that will be available to the residents and the areas that will be devoted to offices and storage. The areas devoted to offices and storage cannot be applied to the density bonus calculations. The density bonus calculations show the clubhouse area to be 5,245 square-feet. Based on the club house floor plan provided, Staff calculates that 2,845 square-feet can be counted toward the density bonus. Although this decrease in floor area does not affect the ultimate density increase, the floor area should be revised in the calculations. 45) In order for Staff to review the requested density bonus for the bike racks, please submit a detail of the bike rack. The bike rack detail should denote how many bike spaces will be included in each rack. Also, provide a total number of bike racks and bike rack spaces. The bike rack locations do not appear to be very convenient. In order to receive the density bonus for bike racks, the plans should be revised to have a greater number of smaller bike racks spread throughout the development, so that they are convenient and accessible to the majority of the tenants. 46) The side setback along the west side property line should be labeled as 20’. This has been addressed. 47) The garage along the west side property line appears to encroach into the required 20’ side setback. If this is the case, please revise the plans to demonstrate compliance. Call out the distance between the garage and the property line to demonstrate compliance. 48) Provide additional details on the parking lot “covers.” Will they have side or just a roof? What will they look like? What will they be constructed out of? Also, the site plan should be revised to depict the locations of the posts for these covers. These details have not yet been provided. 49) Label all minimum building setback lines. This has been addressed. 50) Many buildings are very close to the side setback lines. Label the dimension of the closest point of each of the buildings to the side lot lines in order to demonstrate compliance with the setbacks. This has been addressed. 51) Label any existing and proposed access easements for Lot 1 of Autumn Wood Commercial and for the H&K Investment property to the west. The boundaries of the proposed access easement are not clearly defined. Also, is there an existing access easement over the subject property for the benefit of the H&K property? If so, show and label the existing easement on the plans. 52) Submit a photometric lighting demonstrating compliance with the minimum requirements of Section 18 of the Zoning Ordinance. A photometric lighting plan still needs to be submitted. 53) Show the CH zoning boundary line near the north end of the site. Please show and label this zoning boundary line on all applicable sheets as requested. 54) Are garage parking spaces being counted toward the minimum parking requirements? If so, please include a note that the garages are only to be used for the parking of automobiles. Garage spaces used or available to be used for the parking or storage of boats, recreational vehicles, trailers, equipment, or any other item may not be counted toward the minimum parking requirements. Please also include this note with the parking calculations on the site plan sheets as well. 55) The proposed sign shown along Old Fort Pkwy is within a 30’ Waterline Easement and on a CUD waterline. CUD requires a minimum 10’ setback from waterlines. Clearly label the boundaries of the CUD easement on the plans in order to demonstrate the sign is no longer in the easement. Standard Staff Comments: 1) This site plan is not affected by the City’s Major Thoroughfare Plan. 2) Per the engineer’s certification on this plan, the property lies in Zone X, outside of areas designated as floodway and 100-year floodplain per the latest FIRM maps (1/05/07) for the City of Murfreesboro. 3) In accordance with TCA Section 7-59-310(b)(1), Competitive Cable and Video Services Act, in case of new construction or property development where utilities are to be placed underground, the developer or property owner shall give all providers of cable or video serving the City of Murfreesboro dates on which open trenching will be available for the providers’ installation of conduit, pedestals or vaults, and laterals referred to as “equipment” to be provided at each such providers’ expense.  4) Upon completion and final acceptance of the landscape installation, a three (3) year landscape maintenance bond will be required. This bond should be submitted in the name of the property owner of record or a lease holder who has ten (10) years or more remaining on a current lease. The property owner/lease holder should allow adequate time to obtain the bond as this process may be lengthy and may delay the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy. 5) Any Ground sign or Freestanding wall sign (monument style) within a public utility or drainage easement must receive permission from the easement holder for the sign location and BZA approval for a Variance for a sign within a Public Utility or Drainage Easement.

Rezoning application [2015-412] for approximately 0.46 acres located along the east side of South Highland Avenue to be rezoned from RD to RS-4, Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity applicant. The subject property is located at the northeast corner of South Highland Avenue and Reid Avenue. It consists of two parcels, both of which are currently vacant and zoned RD (Residential Duplex). Both parcels are also located within the CCO (City Core Overlay District). The parcel on the corner was previously developed with a single-family residence, while the northern parcel was developed with a duplex. Both structures were demolished around 2007. Rutherford County Habitat for Humanity has purchased both parcels and wishes to subdivide them into three (3) lots of record. Habitat intends to build a total of three (3) single-family detached homes. The current RD zoning has a minimum lot size of 8,000 square-feet for single-family lots. The area of both parcels combined is 20,124 square- feet, which is not enough land area to yield three (3) lots under the existing RD zoning. In order to create three (3) lots, Habitat has requested that these two parcels be rezoned to RS-4 (Single-Family Residential District). The RS-4 zone requires a minimum 4,000 square-foot lot size. The subject parcels are bordered to the north and east, as well as to the south across Reid Avenue, by RD zoning. There is also RD zoning to the west, at the southwest corner of South Highland Avenue and East State Street. The properties in the nearby RD zone are developed with both single-family residences and duplexes. The subject property is also bordered by RS-4 zoning to the west across South Highland Avenue. The properties in the nearby RS-4 zone are predominantly developed with single-family residences. 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.  E VINE ST CL RS-8 RS-4 RM-16 E SEVIE R ST CL RS-8 AVE RS-4 E STAT S UNIVE RSITY ST CH S HIGHL E ST AND AVE S MANEY AREA SUN CIR RD REID A VE RS-4 SCALES ST E C A ST L E ST VAUGHN ST RM-16 P Ê Rezoning Request Along S.

Rezoning application [2015-413] for approximately 6.17 acres located at the southwest corner of Medical Center Parkway and Robert Rose Drive to be rezoned from MU to CH, Mr. Tommy Smith applicant. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Medical Center Parkway and Robert Rose Drive. It is currently undeveloped. The properties immediately to the west are zoned MU (Mixed Use) and CH (Highway Commercial), respectively. The CH parcel is developed with the Peter D’s restaurant. Further to the west, The Avenue shopping center is zoned CH. The property to the south is zoned MU and a site plan for this property has been approved for an apartment development called Everwood at the Avenue. The properties to the east, across Robert Rose Drive, and to the north, across Medical Center Parkway, are zoned MU also. The subject property was rezoned from CH to MU in 2013 at the request of the applicant. Since that time, the applicant and his engineer have been designing a plan to subdivide the subject property into four (4) separate lots of record. One of the lots proposed is a flag lot. The Zoning Ordinance is silent on flag lots in the MU zone. In addition, the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum 200’ lot width in the MU zone when the property is adjacent to an arterial or collector street. One of the lots proposed along Medical Center Parkway does not meet the minimum 200’ lot width requirement. Therefore, the proposed plan to subdivide, as currently designed, is not possible under the current MU zoning. The applicant has requested to have the property rezoned back to CH in order to subdivide the property as desired. The manner in which the property is proposed to be developed is more consistent with the CH zoning than the MU zoning. If rezoned, the property will remain in the GDO-1 (Gateway Design Overlay District) and will still be subject to the GDO development requirements. 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.  VAN CL EVE LN RS-15 PUD PUD CH MED ICA L CENTER PKWY MU MAPLEGROVE DR L-I AREA N THOMPSO N LN JO HN § ¨ ¦ I-24 ER ROB R CE PCD RI T VD RO BL SE DR DR AGRIP CH ARK GO USA CT RM-16 L-I PCD Ê Rezoning Request Along Medical Center Parkway and Robert Rose Dr. GIS Department City Of Murfreesboro from CH to MU 111 West Vine Street Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37130 www.murfreesborotn.gov 0 250 500 1,000 1,500 Path: G:\planning\rezon\MedicalCenter_RobertRose.mxd Feet MURFREESBORO PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1 JUNE 3, 2015 4.c. Asbury Road and Florence Road [2015-712] right of way abandonment request for 2.4 acres of Asbury Road right-of-way and 0.21 acres of Florence Road right-of-way, Mr. Kevin Waldron applicant. The subject property is located along the west side of Florence Road. It consists of excess right-of-way that remains after the relocation of Asbury Road in conjunction with the construction of Thistle Downs, Section 4. It also consists of excess right-of-way that was left over after the reconstruction of Florence Road several years ago. The excess rights-of-way along both streets are adjacent to the Thistle Downs Subdivision, and the developer of Thistle Downs has requested that this right-of-way be abandoned and transferred to him. The Planning Staff has completed a study of the impact of the proposed right-of-way abandonment. It has been included in the agenda packet. If the Planning Commission approves this right-of-way abandonment request, Staff recommends the following conditions of approval: 1) Utility, drainage, and slope easements must be dedicated as stated in the attached ROW abandonment study. 2) All conditions stated in the attached e-mail from Sam Huddleston of the Engineering Department dated May 28th, 2015 and all conditions stated in the attached e-mail from Dana Richardson of the Transportation Department dated May 14th, 2015 must be met. 3) The applicant must provide a legal description, an exhibit, and any other documentation necessary for the preparation of the required legal documents. 4) All legal documents are subject to the approval of the City Attorney. The Planning Commission will need to conduct a public hearing, after which it will need to discuss the matter and decide whether or not to abandon this excess right-of-way. If the request is approved, then it will be forwarded on to the City Council for ratification of the Planning Commission’s action.  BUTTERFLY BEND BOY D DR G IN CO HT EBEE BND RN RY LI G BL E LI US BU AS BU G BU M AREA DR RD DR ELIJAH DR TAB ITH AS T FLORENCE R NIN AM AR D IE AVE § ¦ ¨ I-24 SANTANA ST HE E ATH OO AREA ST LN WAY WACHOVIA RW LE R AP O DD DR OD SHADOW CT RWO EX T5 THE HEATHERWOOD CT 3B TO I-2 HEA 4W EXT 74A TO TN-840 W Ê Proposed Right-of-Way Abandonment of GIS Department City Of Murfreesboro Asbury Rd. and Florence Rd. 111 West Vine Street Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37130 www.murfreesborotn.gov 0 150 300 600 900 Path: G:\planning\ROW Abandonment\AsburyRd.mxd Feet  . . . creating a better quality of life.

The easement area will need to be 15’ feet on each side of the existing water line for a total of 30’ feet. Engineering Department Sam Huddleston has the following comments regarding the right of way abandonment. For the ROW to be abandoned along existing Florence Road including a portion of what is now Asbury Road. 1. Reserve the necessary electric easements for the existing electric facility. 2. Reserve sewer easement for the existing sewer line 3. Reserve a slope easement where needed for the existing Florence Road. 4. Confirm that no other utility easements are needed to be reserved by checking the Florence Road reconstruction plans. 5. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement markings in Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. 6. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to remove pavement along the intersection of existing Florence Road and existing Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. Some pavement removal will be necessary to provide adequate separation from the Florence Road roadway to remain. A pedestrian corridor on the shoulder of Florence Road should be maintained from the end of sidewalk to the Florence Road bridge over Interstate 24. 7. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify guardrail along Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. The guardrail should be extended parallel to Florence Road in the area where Asbury Road pavement will be removed. Excess guardrail should be salvaged and returned to the City of Murfreesboro Street Division.

Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement markings in Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. For the Asbury Road ROW between Florence Road and relocated Asbury Road 1. Reserve electric easements necessary for the existing facility. Confirm with electric facility owner how to provide access to the existing poles in Asbury Road ROW. 2. Reserve drainage easements as may be necessary to support public roadway and private site drainage routing to the I-24 drainage system (outfall) 3. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement and add pavement markings and signage at Asbury and relocated Asbury. This should include removal of pavement along relocated Asbury, restoration of vegetation, adding edge lines, adding signage for the curve (curve signs) adding signage to the approach to the curve (chevron or arrow), and reduction in the perception of the continuation of the existing Asbury Road roadway for southbound drivers. This work should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. Traffic Department Mr. Dana Richardson does not have any concerns with closing this portion right of way. A remediation plan should be created that outlines timeframes and responsibilities of abandonment between parties before official abandonment documents are executed. Ram Balachandran suggests maintaining a good clear zone (minimum 20’ feet from the edge of pavement) similar to the east side of Florence Road due to the overhead bridge structure. Police Department The right of way abandonment will not affect the Murfreesboro Police Department.

The easement area we need to retain is 15 feet each side of the existing water line. I am not for sure how we need to do this or how the city has handled this in the past.

For the ROW to be abandoned along existing Florence Road including a portion of what is now Asbury Road.         1. Reserve the necessary electric easements for the existing electric facility.         2. Reserve sewer easement for the existing sewer line         3. Reserve a slope easement where needed for the existing Florence Road.         4. Confirm that no other utility easements are needed to be reserved by checking the Florence Road reconstruction plans.         5. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement markings in Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW.         6. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to remove pavement along the intersection of existing Florence Road and existing Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. Some pavement removal will be necessary to provide adequate separation from the Florence Road roadway to remain. A pedestrian corridor on the shoulder of Florence Road should be maintained from the end of sidewalk to the Florence Road bridge over Interstate 24.         7. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify guardrail along Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. The guardrail should be extended parallel to Florence Road in         the area where Asbury Road pavement will be removed. Excess guardrail should be salvaged and returned to the City of Murfreesboro Street Division.         8. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement markings in Florence Road at Asbury Road which should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. For the Asbury Road ROW between Florence Road and relocated Asbury Road         1. Reserve electric easements necessary for the existing facility. Confirm with electric facility owner how to provide access to the existing poles in Asbury Road ROW.         2. Reserve drainage easements as may be necessary to support public roadway and private site drainage routing to the I-24 drainage system (outfall)         3. Submit construction plans for approval of the City Engineer to modify pavement and add pavement markings and signage at Asbury and relocated Asbury. This should include removal of pavement along relocated Asbury, restoration of vegetation, adding edge lines, adding signage for the curve (curve signs) adding signage to the approach to the curve (chevron or arrow), and reduction in the perception of the continuation of the existing Asbury Road roadway for southbound drivers. This work should be completed prior to abandonment of the ROW. The roadway modifications described above can be coordinated with a preliminary plat and any construction items necessary from the plat.

A remediation plan (roadway removal, guardrail replacement along Florence Road, and etc.) should be created that outlines timeframes and responsibilities of abandonment between parties before official abandonment documents are executed.

Rezoning application [2015-414] for approximately 21.6 acres located along Joe B Jackson Parkway to be rezoned from L-I to H-I, Mr. John Harney on behalf of Elam Road Partnership applicant. The subject property is located along the south side of Joe B Jackson Parkway east of the I-24 interchange. It consists of 21.6 acres and is currently zoned L-I (Light Industrial). The applicant has indicated that he has a potential buyer for the property whose use will require H-I (Heavy Industrial) zoning. Specifically, he has indicated that the user is an auto parts manufacturer. Auto parts manufacturing is only permitted in the H-I zone. The adjacent property to the east is developed with NHK seating, which is also an auto parts manufacturer and is zoned H-I. The Amazon distribution facility, also zoned H-I, is further to the east. The property is also directly adjacent to CH (Highway Commercial) zoning to the west, where a Subway restaurant was constructed several years ago. A multi-tenant commercial building has also been approved in the same CH subdivision. Directly to the north of the subject property, across Joe B Jackson Parkway, is the Elam Farms warehouse development and Schwan Cosmetics, both of which are also zoned L- I. The Magnolia Trace and Sunset Ridge single-family residential developments are further to the east along Joe B Jackson Parkway and are approximately 2,000-2,500 linear feet from the subject property, as the crow flies. 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.  ELA DR ELAM FAR RM-16 MS PKWY CH § ¦ ¨I-24 L-I JOE CT 84 MA YO RA L SON PKW AREA ACK B.
