Hord, Estate of Thomas Hord III, and Mary Hord Haymore Children, L.P. by German Pittman Haymore, III and Mary Haymore Pinson (collectively the Hord Family), have submitted petitions requesting their property be annexed into the City of Murfreesboro. The subject property is 258.81 acres, located along the east side of Northwest Broad Street and southeast of I-840. The property tax map numbers are: • Tax Map 70, Parcel 7.02 (91.4 acres) • Tax Map 70, Parcel 7.03 (167.41 acres) Simultaneous with this application is a request to zone the property to CH and GDO-1 (Commercial Highway and Gateway Design Overlay-1) Districts. No residential structures are currently located on the property. The study area is located within the City of Murfreesboro’s Urban Growth Boundary and is contiguous with the City limits along the northeast property line and NW Broad Street along the southwestern property line. 4 CITY ZONING Legacy Sports Tennessee has submitted an application to zone the subject property to Commercial Highway and Gateway Design Overlay-1 (CH and GDO-1) Districts. The purpose of this zoning is to allow for the development of a multi-use sports and entertainment complex, the Legacy Sports Tennessee facility, that will include indoor and outdoor athletic facilities for recreational and professional sports as well as related retail, commercial, medical, and hospitality uses. The adjacent properties located to the north, northwest, west, and south are in the unincorporated portion of Rutherford County and are zoned RM (Residential Medium Density). Across NW Broad St. to the west are properties zoned HI (Heavy Industrial), CG (Commercial General) and RM, and to the northeast and further east are zoned RS-15 (Single-Family Residential District) in the City. 5 PRESENT AND SURROUNDING LAND USE The study area is currently undeveloped, vacant agricultural land. There is a small cemetery on the property near NW Broad Street called the “Major Cemetery.” The adjacent properties are a combination of undeveloped and developed land as shown on the adjacent map. The properties directly to the north, northwest, and southeast are primarily vacant agricultural land. The properties to the northeast are single family homes within the Oakleigh Subdivision, the Murfreesboro Wastewater Treatment Plant, and further to the east are single family homes within the Riverbend Subdivision. The properties along the west side of NW Broad Street are in the unincorporated land of Rutherford County. Directly to the west is a rock quarry and plant, and vacant land. 6 TAXES AND REVENUE The first City tax bill for all property annexed during the calendar year of 2022 will be due on December 31, 2023. City taxes are calculated upon the property appraisal and assessment of the Rutherford County Property Assessor’s Office. The current tax rate for the City of Murfreesboro is $1.2894/$100.00 assessed value. Residential property is assessed at a rate of 25% of its appraised value, and commercial property is assessed at a rate of 40% of its appraised value. The property is vacant. Table I below shows total assessment and estimated City taxes that would be collected if the property were to be annexed in its present state.

North Thompson Lane is the first major intersection to the south. This intersection is operating at a Level of Service E. Interstate 840 is the first major intersection to the north. This intersection is operating at a Level of Service D. SANITARY SEWER SERVICE With regard to sewer service, gravity sewer is not available to the property and will require a pump and forcemain for service. The pump station would be constructed at a location on the property that could be abandoned in the future by an off-site gravity sewer main extension. The proposed forcemain can be manifolded into one of the existing 14” or 18” sewer forcemains on the property, within an easement and parallel to NW Broad Street. This pump station and forcemain would be installed by the Developer with the construction of the project and turned over to MWRD for Operations & Maintenance. Any water, repurified water and sanitary sewer mains referenced herein are shown on our GIS maps found on the City’s website. All on-site water and sewer main line extensions are the financial responsibility of the Developer and must be extended in accordance with the 11 WATER SERVICE southern/eastern property line of the southern/eastern property. This The study area is partially located within water is required to be used for irrigation purposes. Consolidated Utility District of Rutherford County’s (CUD) service area and partially within the City of Murfreesboro Water Resources Department’s (MWRD) service area. The southern/eastern parcel is within MWRD’s service area, and the northern/western parcel is with CUD’s service area. There is a 16” water main, owned and operated by MWRD parallel to NW Broad Street for the full frontage of the properties. If any portion of the study area is to be served by CUD, a complete “Water Service Availability Form” is to be submitted along with a master and preliminary plan to CUD for a feasibility study and to obtain a CUD Will Serve Letter. CUDRC has no existing water main along NW Broad Street (US-41) along the frontage to serve the annexed areas. CUD has stated that they do not see any issues with relinquishing their service area over the property to MWRD to serve, however, this hasn’t been approved by either advisory Board to date. A request by the Developer must be presented to each Board for approval. Repurified Water Service With regard to repurified water service, there is a 24” main located parallel to the 12 FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICE The Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Department (MFRD) can provide emergency first responder and fire protection services to the study area immediately upon the effective date of annexation. For future development of the property, the required fire protection will be installed with development, so that ISO Class 1 Fire protection can be provided, and First Responder service will be enhanced. Currently the study area is located 3.0 roadway miles from Fire Station #7 (North Thompson Lane). The blue line on the adjacent map represents the linear distance range from the nearest fire station. 13 FLOODWAY A portion of the study area is located within the floodway and 100-year floodplain as delineated on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The floodway and floodplain are related to the West Fork of the Stones River, located on the study area along the northeast property line, and as depicted on the adjacent map. The floodway boundary location is depicted in the blue color and the 100-year floodplain boundary is the purple color. 14 DRAINAGE The Study Area has a proposed zoning of Commercial Highway-Gateway Design Overlay -1 (CH/GDO-1) and is the proposed location for Legacy Public Drainage System Sports Park. Based on this development scenario, it is anticipated that Public drainage facilities available in the study the site will generate approximately $30,000 in additional revenue per area are within the right-of-way (ROW) of NW year into the Stormwater Utility Fund upon full build out. Broad Street. Modifications of the drainage discharge to the ROW of NW Broad Street must be approved by the City Engineer and TDOT. This drainage system is the responsibility of TDOT for routine maintenance. No additional public drainage systems are in the study area. Any new public drainage facilities proposed to serve the study area in the future must meet City standards. Regional Drainage Conditions A review of the regional drainage patterns indicates most of the study area drains to the West Fork of the Stones River. A portion of this property is located within the 100-year flood plain. Stormwater Management and Utility Fees Upon annexation, stormwater management services provided by the City of Murfreesboro will be available to the study area. The area being considered for annexation is undeveloped and will not generate any revenue for the Stormwater Utility Fee in its current state. 15 PROPERTY AND DEVELOPMENT New development on the property must meet overall City of Murfreesboro Stormwater Quality requirements and TDOT requirements if stormwater is diverted to NW Broad Street. Impacts on adjacent properties should also be considered in future development plans to ensure no net impact. NW Broad Street is on the City’s Major Transportation Plan. Improvements to ROW and easement dedication for NW Broad should be incorporated into the development plans. Additional roadway connections to the site should be considered with development. ANNEXATION FOLLOW-UP The Murfreesboro City Council will be responsible for ensuring that this property will receive City services described in this plan. According to the Tennessee Growth Policy Act, six months following the effective date of annexation, and annually thereafter until all services have been extended, a progress report is to be prepared and published in a newspaper of general circulation. This report will describe progress made in providing City services according to the plan of services and any proposed changes to the plan. A public hearing will also be held on the progress report. 16 PETITION FOR ANNEXATION BY THE CIT/ OF MURFREESBORO The undersigned is the only owner / are all of the owners of the property identified in the attached legal description (including street address and tax map / parcel number), and hereby petitions the City of Murfreesboro to annex such property into the City.

Zoning application [2021-433] for approximately 258.81 acres located along Northwest Broad Street to be zoned CH and GDO-1 simultaneous with annexation, SEC, Inc. on behalf of Legacy Sports Tennessee applicant. The subject property is a total of 258.81 acres located along the east side of Northwest Broad Street and southeast of I-840. The property is vacant farmland and is proposed to be zoned Commercial Highway and Gateway Design Overlay-1 (CH and GDO-1) Districts. The purpose of this zoning is to allow for the development of a multi-use sports and entertainment complex, the Legacy Sports Tennessee facility, that will include indoor and outdoor athletic facilities for recreational and professional sports as well as related retail, commercial, medical, and hospitality uses. The purpose of the GDO-1 district is to ensure high quality design and site planning for the property and to help regulate the uses that can be established. The current property owners, Hord Family, submitted petitions for annexation of the 258+ acres simultaneous with this zoning request. The property tax map numbers are: • Tax Map 70, Parcel 7.02 (91.4 acres) • Tax Map 70, Parcel 7.03 (167.41 acres) Adjacent Zoning and Land Uses The subject property is contiguous to the City limits along the northeastern property line and along Northwest Broad Street. The adjacent properties located to the north, northwest, west, and south are in the unincorporated portion of Rutherford County and are zoned RM (Residential Medium Density) and across Northwest Broad to the west are HI (Heavy Industrial), CG (Commercial General), and RM. The properties to the northeast and further east are zoned RS-15 (Single-Family Residential District 15). The RS-15 properties are located within the Riverbend Subdivision and Oakleigh Subdivision. The Murfreesboro wastewater treatment plant is located northeast of the subject property and is also zoned RS-15. Future Land Use Map The Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) (excerpt below) indicates that “Urban Commercial / Mixed Use” (UC) is the most appropriate land use character for the subject property. Allowed uses in the UC character include the following: “intensive urban character with a multiplicity of uses, including multi-family 1 residential, entertainment, restaurants, department stores and other retail, general and professional offices, and hotels.” In addition, the comprehensive plan identifies several different sub-development types for this land use character. One sub-development type is the “Mixed-Use Lifestyle Center” which “promotes pedestrian-oriented mixed-use centers with integrated, complementary uses; with convention/assembly and/or parks and public spaces that draw visitors from surrounding neighborhoods and communities within the region.” Another sub-development type is the “Mixed-Use Corridor”, which “allows a broad range of commercial, office, and high-density residential uses and public spaces serving surrounding neighborhoods, commercial/professional business parks and visitors from nearby communities.” It is staff’s opinion that the proposed zoning request is consistent with the UC land use character. Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (excerpt) 2 Recommendation: Staff supports the zoning request to CH and GDO-1 for the following reasons: 1) CH and GDO-1 zoning are consistent with the Future Land Use Map’s recommended land use character designation of Urban Commercial / Mixed Use. 2) GDO-1 zoning is intended to ensure high quality design and site planning for the property and to help regulate the uses that can be established. Action needed The Planning Commission will need to conduct a public hearing on this zoning request, after which it will need to discuss the matter and then formulate a recommendation for the City Council. 3 RS-15 RS-12 . . § ¦ ¨ I-840 RIVER RD CITY LIMITS RS-15 AREA 1 DR £ ¤ EI G H OAKL 41 £ ¤ NW RS-15 BR OA D ST RS-15 1 268 £ ¤ £ ¤ 41 £ ¤ CITY LIMITS R Y DR ER BEND DR ND NW RI V ER LO NDO DR OLD BR ON REYNOLDS OA NA N AN 41 £ ¤ DR H D SH E ST 1 £ ¤ S VI LL 268 £ ¤ L-I HW Y 41 £ ¤ L-I H-I 1 H-I £ ¤ Zoning Request for Property located along Northwest Broad Street Planning Department City of Murfreesboro CH and GDO-1 Simultaneous with Annexation 111 W.

Mandatory Referral [2021-734] for the abandonment of a sanitary sewer easement located on property along East Northfield Boulevard and Pitts Lane, Huddleston-Steele on behalf of Hassan Eslami applicant. This easement abandonment request is from Huddleston Steele on behalf of Hassan Eslami. The 3 properties involved are located on the north side of East Northfield Boulevard and the east side of Pitts Lane. They are requesting the abandonment of approximately 550’ long by 20’ wide sanitary sewer easement along the north side of three parcels as shown on the hatched area on the attached engineering exhibit. This easement was dedicated by Plat book 19, page 175 when the property was subdivided but no utilities yet exist within this particular easement area. The development proposes a strip center with approximately 18,000 square feet of office space and 18,000 square feet of commercial space.
