STAFF COMMENTS, PAGE 1
MARCH 2, 2022
PROJECT PLANNER: MATTHEW BLOMELEY
(RESEARCH OF OTHER CITIES COMPILED BY JOEL AGUILERA)
4.a. Proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance [2022-801] pertaining
to the following:
Section 2: Interpretation and Definitions;
Section 18: Regulations of General Applicability;
Section 25: Temporary and Accessory Structures and Uses;
Section 34: Floodplain Zoning; and
Chart 2: Minimum Lot Requirements, Minimum Yard
Requirements, and Land Use Intensity Ratios (including Chart 2
endnotes),
City of Murfreesboro Planning Department applicant.
This proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment is comprised of three parts
pertaining to three different topics.
Maximum Building Height for Industrial Accessory Structures:
The maximum building height permitted for all structures in the L-I (Light Industrial),
G-I (General Industrial), and H-I (Heavy Industrial) districts is 75’. This pertains to
both principal and accessory structures. There are instances where certain
industrial uses may have a need for accessory structures to exceed this height.
An example of this might be a storage silo. This amendment proposes to include
a provision in the Zoning Ordinance allowing accessory structures in these zoning
districts to have a maximum building height of 100’, if they are accessory to a use
classified as industrial. Any such structures would be subject to additional building
setback requirements above and beyond the standard minimum building setbacks.
Knowing that such accessory structures would likely be unable to meet the criteria
for a variance to be granted, Staff thought it best to proactively make provisions
for such structures in the Zoning Ordinance.
At the February 16th meeting, the Planning Commission requested that Staff gather
information from other jurisdictions on maximum heights for accessory structures
in their respective industrial districts. Since that meeting, Staff has compiled this
information for 10 other municipalities in Tennessee. Two tables are included in
the agenda packet. The first contains the general maximum building height and
minimum building setback requirements for those jurisdictions’ industrial zoning
districts. The second includes maximum building height and minimum building
setback requirements for accessory structures in those same zoning districts.
Some jurisdictions apply the general maximum building height of the respective
industrial zone to industrial accessory structures, while other jurisdictions state that
the accessory structures may not exceed the height of the principal structure.
Maximum Height of Light Fixtures at Recreation Fields:
In 2020, the Zoning Ordinance was amended to allow lighting fixtures for recreation
fields in the P (Park) district to have a maximum height of 80’. The 2020 ordinance
amendment also included an 80’ maximum height for lighting fixtures at recreation
fields that are accessory to institutional group assembly uses. This current
amendment seeks to comprehensively address all instances where there might be
recreation fields. In doing so, it also includes provisions for recreation fields
accessory to commercial outdoor amusement uses, which were not addressed in
the 2020 ordinance amendment. The maximum height of lighting fixtures for all
recreation field uses generally remains uniform for all of the above uses at 80’.
However, a provision is included in the proposed amendment that would allow
such light fixtures at recreation fields accessory to commercial outdoor
amusements to be a maximum of 100’ in height if such use is located on a lot of at
least 50 acres and such light fixtures over 80’ in height are located a minimum of
300’ from any property zoned and or uses for residential purposes. In addition to
the above, a definition for “Recreation Field” is proposed to be added to Section 2
of the Zoning Ordinance. It is a listed use in Chart 1 and is referenced several
times in the Zoning Ordinance, but Section 2 is currently lacking a definition for this
use.
Section 34: Floodplain Zoning:
The City’s floodplain regulations are contained within Section 34 of the Zoning
Ordinance. The City’s Floodplain Administrator, in consultation with the State’s
NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) Coordinator, is recommending the
proposed amendments to Section 34 in order to be consistent with the FEMA
model floodplain management ordinance. One of the primary modifications is to
add that a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) approved by FEMA (the
Federal Emergency Management Agency) is required prior to allowing a
development to modify or encroach in the floodway and/or increase the base flood
elevations.
Action Needed:
A draft of the proposed ordinance amendment is included in the agenda packet for
the Planning Commission’s review. The Planning Commission will need to
conduct a public hearing, after which it should discuss this matter and then
formulate a recommendation to City Council.

DRAFT
Located within the Special Flood Hazard Areas established in Article III,
Section B, are areas designated as floodways. A floodway may be an extremely
hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters, debris, or erosion potential.
In addition, the area must remain free of encroachment in order to allow for
the discharge of the base flood without increased flood heights and velocities.
Therefore, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial
improvements or other development within the adopted regulatory
floodway. Development may be permitted however, provided it is
demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in
accordance with standard engineering practice that the encroachment shall
not result in any increase in flood levels or floodway widths during a base
flood discharge. A registered professional engineer must provide supporting
technical data and certification thereof;
(2) A community may permit encroachments within the adopted regulatory
floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations, provided
that the applicant first applies for a conditional letter of map revision
(CLOMR) and floodway revision, fulfills the requirements for such revisions
as established under the provisions of § 65.12, and receives the approval of
FEMA;
(3) ONLY if Article V, Section C, provisions (1) through (2) are satisfied, then
any new construction or substantial improvement shall comply with all
other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V, Sections A
and B.
(D) Standards for Areas of Special Flood Hazard Zones AE with Established Base
Flood Elevations but Without Floodways Designated.
Located within the Special Flood Hazard Areas established in Article III,
Section B, where streams exist with base flood data provided but where no
floodways have been designated (Zones AE), the following provisions apply:
(1) Require until a regulatory floodway is designated, that no new construction,
substantial, or other development, including fill shall be permitted within
Zone AE on the community's FIRM, unless it is demonstrated through
hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed that the cumulative effect of
the proposed development, when combined with all other existing and
anticipated development, will not increase the water surface elevation of
the base flood more than one (1) foot at any point within the community.
(2) A community may permit encroachments within Zones AE on the
community's FIRM, that would result in an increase in the water surface
elevation of the base flood, provided that the applicant first applies for a
conditional letter of map revision (CLOMR) and floodway revision, fulfills
the requirements for such revisions as established under the provisions of
§ 65.12, and receives the approval of FEMA;
(3) ONLY if Article V, Section D, provisions (1) through (2) are satisfied, then
any new construction or substantial improvement shall comply with all
other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V, Sections A
and B.
(F) Standards For Areas of Shallow Flooding (Zone AO).
Located within the Special Flood Hazard Areas established in Article III,
Section B, are areas designated as shallow flooding areas. These areas have
special flood hazards associated with base flood depths of one (1) to three (3)
feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of
flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate. In addition to Article V, Sections
F:\Matthew\Planning Commission 2022\March 2\Zoning Ordinance Amendment\2022.02.23 Appendix A revisions
Ordinance_MTBedits accepted_SHedits.docx Page 3 of 5
DRAFT
A and B, all new construction and substantial improvements shall meet the
following requirements:
(1) The lowest floor (including basement) shall be elevated at least as high as
the depth number specified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), in
feet, plus a freeboard of one (1) foot above the highest adjacent grade; or at
least three (3) feet above the highest adjacent grade, if no depth number is
specified.
(2) Non-residential structures may, in lieu of elevation, be floodproofed to the
same level as required in Article V, Section F(1) so that the structure,
together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities, below that level shall
be watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water
and with structural components having the capability of resisting
hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy. Certification
is required in accordance with Article IV, Section B(1) (c) and Article V,
Section B(2).
(3) Adequate drainage paths shall be provided around structures on slopes, to
guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures.
(G) Standards For Areas of Shallow Flooding (Zone AH).
Located within the Special Flood Hazard Areas established in Article III,
Section B, are areas designated as shallow flooding areas. These areas are
subject to inundation by 1-percent-annual-chance shallow flooding (usually
areas of ponding) where average depths are one (1) to three (3) feet. Base Flood
Elevations are derived from detailed hydraulic analyses are shown in this zone.
In addition to meeting the requirements of Article V, Sections A and B, all new
construction and substantial improvements shall meet the following
requirements:
(1) Adequate drainage paths shall be provided around structures on slopes, to
guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures.
(I) Standards for Unmapped Streams.
Located within Murfreesboro, Tennessee, are unmapped streams where areas
of special flood hazard are neither indicated nor identified. Adjacent to such
streams, the following provisions shall apply:
(1) No encroachments including fill material or other development including
structures shall be located within an area of at least equal to twice the
width of the stream, measured from the top of each stream bank, unless
certification by a Tennessee registered professional engineer is provided
demonstrating that the cumulative effect of the proposed development,
when combined with all other existing and anticipated development, will
not increase the water surface elevation of the base flood more than one (1)
foot at any point within the locality.
(2) When a new flood hazard risk zone, and Base Flood Elevation and floodway
data is available, new construction and substantial improvements shall
meet the standards established in accordance with Articles IV and V.
(3) ONLY if Article V Section I, provisions (1) through (2) are satisfied, then
any new construction or substantial improvement shall comply with all
other applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Article V, Sections A
and B.
SECTION 6. Appendix A, Chart 2, Minimum Lot Requirements, Minimum
Yard Requirements and Land Use Intensity Ratios, of the Murfreesboro City Code is
hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the
attached Chart 2. Changes include separating L-I, G-I, and H-I each into “industrial

In this mandatory referral, the Planning Commission is being asked to consider
abandoning an existing water and sanitary sewer easement on property developed

easement is no longer needed.
The Murfreesboro Water Resources Board met on January 25, 2022 and MWRD
Staff recommended that the Board recommend to Planning Commission and City
Council approval of the abandonment of this existing water and sewer easement.
The Murfreesboro Water Resources Board voted to recommend approval of this

Dear Mr. Blomeley,

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me via email
(josh@fulmerlucas.com) or phone (615-477-9440).
