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.

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.

These figures are for the property in its current state and assessed at the residential rate of 25 percent. After this property is
rezoned and when it is developed, an improvement value will be added, which will result in an increase to the City and County
taxes.

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.

has no existing water main along NW Broad

with relinquishing their service area over the

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.

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

be approved by the City Engineer and TDOT.
This drainage system is the responsibility of
TDOT for routine maintenance. No additional

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.

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)

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,

subject property and is also zoned RS-15.
Future Land Use Map
The Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) (excerpt

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)

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.

PROJECT PLANNER: HOLLY SMYTH
5.a. 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.
Now, with the pending development proposal of these lots in process, it has been
determined that the sewer main will be installed within the paved access drive,
which is not along the northern property line, and a new easement will be
dedicated.

Murfreesboro Water Resources Department (MWRD) staff does not object to this
request and recommended its approval to the Murfreesboro to the Water
Resources Board subject to the recording of the new sanitary sewer easement
prior to or simultaneous with the abandonment of the existing easement.
Correspondence from MWRD is included in the agenda materials. The
Murfreesboro Water Resources Board met on January 25, 2022 and voted to
recommend approval of the easement abandonment request. Planning Staff
recommends that the Planning Commission vote to recommend approval of the
request to City Council subject to the following conditions:
1. The new sanitary sewer easement shall be recorded prior to or simultaneous
with the abandonment of the existing easement.
2. The applicant must provide to the City Legal Department all the necessary
documentation (including any needed legal descriptions and exhibits)
required to prepare and record the legal instrument of abandonment. This
instrument will be subject to final review and approval of the City Legal
Department.
3. The applicant will be responsible for recording the legal instrument, including
paying any recording fees.
If approved by the City Council, then the Mayor will be authorized to sign the
necessary documents to convey the City’s interest back to the owner.
