Spring Hill Board of Zoning Appeals
TO: Spring Hill Board of Zoning Appeals
FROM: Jake McQueen, Interim Senior Planner
MEETING: March 21, 2023
SUBJECT: BZA 1370-2023 (NASDAQ Commercial – VARIANCE, SPECIAL USE)
BZA 1328-2022: Submitted by Joe Epps, representing Anderson, Delk, Epps and Associates. The property is located on the
south side of NASDAQ Street next to Goodwill, and is zoned C-4. The site contains approximately 5.81 acres. The applicant
is requesting a variance for driveway spacing, as well as a special use permit to allow a drive-through.
Property Description and History: This property is currently undeveloped. The applicant submitted a concept plan to the
Planning Commission for Round 9 of 2022. From this application came the need to apply for a special use permit for the
drive through and a variance for the driveway spacing. For more information on the property and its surrounds, please
see the vicinity map and the land use table below:

General Attachment: BZA 1370-2023 _NASDAQ Variance_ Special Use_.pdf
C-4 zoning district is defined by the UDC as follows; “The C-4 District is intended for higher-intensity mixed-use commercial
corridors and commercial intersections. The district standards address its relationship to adjacent neighborhoods due to
the higher intensity of use, especially access, connectivity, and buffering.”
“Spring Hill Rising” 2040 Comprehensive Plan: According to the comprehensive plan, this lot falls under “Community
Commerce Area”, which is defined as follows: “Community Commerce Areas provide regional commercial services for
Spring Hill and our neighboring communities. The general development pattern is centered at, or in close proximity to, the
major intersection with single use commercial, office, transportation, professional, and entertainment services. This is a
primarily automobile‐oriented development form. Buildings have shallow to moderate setbacks and use landscaping to
frame the street and screen large parking areas needed to serve intense, regional uses.”
Analysis: According to article 16.5.D.3, the UDC states that the AASHTO guidelines for streets with a speed limit of 30mph
are that curb cuts should have minimum separation of 220’. However, NASDAQ has a speed limit of 20 miles per hour.
Additionally, per article 16.5.D.2, curb cuts must be placed a minimum of 200 feet away from one another on arterial
streets. Additionally, in article 16.5.D.2, the UDC states that the AASHTO guidelines for collector streets is a minimum
separation of 100 feet. However, NASDAQ is a local road.
Because of these findings, a variance for this property would not be required at this time. However, it would staff’s
professional opinion to reduce the number of curb cuts and to maximize spacing between each of them.
Spring Hill receives many requests for a drive-thru special-use permit, and it is usually considered a reasonable request,
depending on the specific geography and limitations of the site. With that being said, staff is aware of current traffic
concerns on nearby Main Street. Ultimately, it would be best to have minimal impact on NASDAQ in terms of traffic flow
and LOS. Please see the TIS section below for more information.
As proposed on the concept plan submitted with this application, the drive-through provides the required four (4) stacked
cars from the point of the service window. The drive-through design is such where there is a single service lane, and a
single bypass lane. This design is typical of drive-through facilities in the city.
The applicant has provided staff with a complete application submittal. A list of all adjacent property owners has been
provided, along with a notification letter and proof of mailings.
Traffic Impact Study: The TIS was prepared by RG Phillips in January 2023, and is being reviewed by the Corradino
Group, one of the city’s on-call traffic engineers. It concluded the proposed development will not largely affect the level
of service for NASDAQ, however made the following recommendations:
• At the intersection of O’Hallorn Drive & Longford Drive / Dog Daycare Access, provide a 100’ westbound left turn
lane on O’Hallorn Drive.
• In view of the impact of the site traffic on US Highway 31, the proposed development is recommended to contribute
toward optimizing the traffic signal timing on this corridor. A pro-rata share in the amount of $10,000 is
recommended for this development.
• Each Project Access shall include one entering and one exiting lane for all exiting traffic movements. All the exiting
lanes should have a Stop sign and stop line installed per MUTCD guidelines.
• The access for the proposed site should be designed such that the departure sight triangles, as specified by
AASHTO, will be clear of all sight obstructions.
• All new intersections with the existing roadway network shall be constructed according to AASHTO standards to
provide adequate stopping sight distance.

General Attachment: BZA 1370-2023 _NASDAQ Variance_ Special Use_.pdf
Gerald Bolden with the Corradino Group is currently reviewing the TIS to ensure consistency with traffic engineering best
practices and the goals of the city.
Findings of Fact: The applicant has met UDC requirements regarding the U.S.P.S. First Class mailing of notices to all
adjacent property owners of the subject property, and at least ten days in advance of the first scheduled action. City staff
has placed a notice in the newspaper and a sign on the subject property. No email public comments were received via the
BOZAPublicComment@springhilltn.org email address regarding this request.
Special Use Request: Article 13.3 of the City’s Unified Development Code lays out the approval process for uses identified
as a Special Use in Table 8-1, Use Matrix. Because certain uses have unique characteristics that may prevent them from
being compatible with neighboring land uses throughout the community they may be permitted by special use or “use on
appeal” in the former zoning ordinance. This process allows for the uses to be considered on a case-by-case basis and site-
specific. Article 13.3 offers the following regarding special uses and the specific Approval Standards to be considered by
the Board of Zoning Appeals:
The listing of a use as a special use within a zoning district does not constitute an assurance or presumption that such
special use will be approved. Rather, each special use must be evaluated on an individual basis, in relation to all
applicable standards of this Code. Such evaluation will determine whether approval of the special use is appropriate
at the particular location and in the particular manner proposed. The decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals must
make findings to support each of the following conclusions.
1. The consistency of the proposed special use with the Comprehensive Plan and any adopted land use policies.
Staff’s findings: Staff believes that the proposed special use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
as it has been identified as a “Community Commerce Area”, which includes auto-oriented commercial
development.
2. The special use in the specific location proposed is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Code.
Staff’s findings: The proposed use, while subject to approval as a special use, is consistent with the
purpose statement in Article 5 for the C-4 zoning district, which includes high-intensity commercial.
3. The proposed special use will not endanger the public health, safety, or welfare.
Staff’s findings: Staff is not aware of any concerns which may present a hazard to public health, safety, or
welfare.
4. The proposed special use is compatible with the general land use of adjacent properties and other property
within the immediate vicinity.
Staff’s findings: According to the zoning of neighboring properties, the property is compatible, as it is
surrounded on all sides by commercial. Some of the properties have been built out, and some remain
vacant at this time.
5. Public infrastructure and services to support the use is sufficient in the location of this special use.
Staff’s findings: Staff finds that the public infrastructure and services to support the use are sufficient,
however, staff recommends the applicant revise their access design to limit the number of curb cuts and
to maximize the distance between those curb cuts. Additionally, as the property to the north is developing
at the same time, the applicant should make an effort to align the proposed curb cuts with those proposed
across the street.

General Attachment: BZA 1370-2023 _NASDAQ Variance_ Special Use_.pdf
Special Use Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. If the Board of Zoning Appeals finds the request
to be reasonable and compliant with the requirements for a variance, staff recommends that they adopt the findings in
this report or others to support the approval.
Possible Motion: Motion to Deny the applicant’s request based on the findings of facts and conclusions of law
provided in the staff report and to deny variance BZA 1370-2023 and not multi-family on the ground floor being
applicant failed the following criteria:
1. The proposed use is not consistent with the comprehensive plan and land use policies of the city of Spring Hill.
2. The proposed use in this location is not consistent with the intent of the Unified Development Code.
3. The proposed use will be an endangerment to the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
4. The proposed use is not compatible with the general land use of adjacent properties, which is evident due to
the surrounding zonings to the site and the size of the lots.
5. The special use of the site in question does not have sufficient public infrastructure and services to support
the use.
Possible Motion: Motion to adopt the finding of facts and conclusions of law provided in the staff report and to
approve special use BZA 1370-2023 to a drive-through at the proposed location with the following conditions:
1. An approved special use will expire one year from the date of approval according to the provisions of Article
13.3.G of the UDC. Permits must be obtained prior to the expiration of this special use.
2. The development must be reasonably consistent with the special use request submitted to the BOZA, subject
to changes and conditions imposed by the Planning Commission.
3. Should the design of the proposed drive-through change substantially, the applicant must to return to the
BOZA for approval.
4. The design must comply with the recommendations of the TIS.

TO: Spring Hill Board of Zoning Appeals
FROM: Jake McQueen, Interim Senior Planner
MEETING: March 21, 2023
SUBJECT: BZA 1371-2023 (White Hall – VARIANCE, SPECIAL USE)
BZA 1328-2022: Submitted by Dmitri Danylov, representing Platinum Invest LLC. The property is located on the south side
of Duplex Road next to White Hall, and is zoned C-D-E1. The site contains approximately 2.785 acres. The applicant is
requesting a variance to increase the maximum building setback from 10’ to 80’, as well as a special use permit to allow
multi-family housing on the main floor.
Property Description and History: This property is currently undeveloped. The applicant submitted a concept plan to the
Planning Commission for Round 1 of this year. Additionally, the applicant has met with the Spring Hill Historic Commission
in order to discuss its proximity to historic White Hall. From that meeting came the idea to increase the maximum building
setback in order to be more consistent with the setback of White Hall and other neighboring single family residences. For
more information on the property and its surrounds, please see the vicinity map and the land use table below:

West C-D-E1 White Hall
C-D-E1 zoning district is defined by the UDC as follows; “The C-D-E1 Downtown Edge 1 Sub-District is intended to address
areas of transition between the higher intensity environment of the Downtown Center and adjacent residential districts
and small-scale neighborhood commercial. The C-D-E1 Sub-District is intended to facilitate mixed-use development with
standards that focus on compatibility with adjacent development. The C-D-E1 Sub-District includes specific standards
related to the reuse and redevelopment of existing residential structures located within the Downtown.”
“Spring Hill Rising” 2040 Comprehensive Plan: According to the comprehensive plan, this lot falls under “Downtown/City
Center”, which is defined as follows: “Downtown/City Center is characterized by a compact, walkable environment typical
of town centers. Development creates and promotes our sense of place and community, and it encourages active living
and community interaction. Future development emphasizes connectivity and uses that generate a high level of activity.
These are not developments that are designed to accommodate the automobile and related services.”
Analysis: According to UDC article 5, table 5-3: “Downtown Sub-District Dimensional Standards”, the front setback
requirement for the C-D-E1 zone is a 0’-10’ build-to zone. The purpose behind this build-to zone is to create a historic
downtown feel with buildings that abut the sidewalk, so as to blend new development with the existing. However, this lot
sits adjacent to two lots which currently have single family residences that are not consistent with this setback
requirement. First, White Hall to the west has a front setback of approximately 90 feet from the sidewalk to the front of
the home. To the east is a single-family residence which has a front setback of approximately 60 feet from the sidewalk to
the front of the home. Each property is also in the C-D-E1 zone. Without a variance for the proposed building, there is
concern that it will not be consistent with the surrounding properties, especially considering its height of 3 stories (max.
building height of 40’).
According to article 8 table 8-1 of the UDC, a special use permit is required to allow multi-family residential in the C-D-E1
zone. The dwellings above ground floor would be permitted in the C-D-E1 zone, but the ground floor units would not
without a special use permit, hence the request. As proposed currently, the development would be 18.6 dwelling units
per acre. While an explicit limit on density is not stated in the dwelling above ground floor section in the commercial
standards, the density limit in R-6 is 18du/acre. Additionally, recent mixed-use approvals have not surpassed this limit. For
further comparison, the Hughes Neighborhood to the east is zoned R-1 and has a minimum density of 1du/0.5 acres (2
du/acre). White Hall has a density of 1 du/acre. Multi-family on the ground floor would encourage the proposed density,
which may not be consistent with its surrounds.
Likewise, as shown in the vicinity map and land use table, there is not multi-family housing in the vicinity of the property.
While dwelling above ground floor is permitted by-right, multi-family on the ground floor requires special use approval.
The applicant should be sensitive to the area surrounding the area in terms of proposed density.
The applicant has provided staff with a complete application submittal. A list of all adjacent property owners has been
provided, along with a notification letter and proof of mailings.
Findings of Fact: The applicant has met UDC requirements regarding the U.S.P.S. First Class mailing of notices to all
adjacent property owners of the subject property, and at least ten days in advance of the first scheduled action. City staff
has placed a notice in the newspaper and a sign on the subject property. No email public comments were received via the
BOZAPublicComment@springhilltn.org email address regarding this request.

General Attachment: BZA 1371-2023 _White Hall Variance_ Special Use_.pdf
Variance Request: The findings listed below represent staff’s response to the approval standards required in Section 13.4.E
of the UDC, to be considered by the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to approving a variance and a review of the applicant’s
justification statements.
1. Where, by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, size or shape of a specific piece of property at the time
of the enactment of this Code, or by reason of exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary and
exceptional situation or condition of such piece of property it is not able to comply with the regulations as required
under this Code.
Staff’s findings: The applicant’s request is inconsistent with the UDC, however, due to the existing limitations of
the property and its surrounds, the project would be more consistent with neighboring properties due to their
current front setbacks should the variance request be granted. Those properties were developed before the
adoption of the code and therefore the project will be inconsistent should the UDC be followed.
2. The strict application of any provision enacted under this Code would result in peculiar and exceptional practical
difficulties to or exception or place undue hardship upon the owner of such property.
Staff’s findings: Being consistent with adjacent properties such as White Hall could be considered a peculiar
practical difficulty, as additional criteria are requested to be followed. Staff believes it is in the best interest to the
city in the long term to grant this variance request in order to be consistent with the existing built environment
and in order to preserve the historic character of the area.
3. Such relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing
the intent and purpose of the zoning map and this Code.
Staff’s findings: Staff is not aware of any detriment to the public good that would result from this request. In this
instance, the purpose of the zoning designation of the property is in conflict with the intent of the code.
Special Use Request: Article 13.3 of the City’s Unified Development Code lays out the approval process for uses identified
as a Special Use in Table 8-1, Use Matrix. Because certain uses have unique characteristics that may prevent them from
being compatible with neighboring land uses throughout the community they may be permitted by special use or “use on
appeal” in the former zoning ordinance. This process allows for the uses to be considered on a case-by-case basis and site-
specific. Article 13.3 offers the following regarding special uses and the specific Approval Standards to be considered by
the Board of Zoning Appeals:
The listing of a use as a special use within a zoning district does not constitute an assurance or presumption that such
special use will be approved. Rather, each special use must be evaluated on an individual basis, in relation to all
applicable standards of this Code. Such evaluation will determine whether approval of the special use is appropriate
at the particular location and in the particular manner proposed. The decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals must
make findings to support each of the following conclusions.
1. The consistency of the proposed special use with the Comprehensive Plan and any adopted land use policies.
Staff’s findings: Staff believes that the proposed special use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
as it has been identified as a “downtown/city center” which includes a walkable, compact design. This
guideline infers density, which is consistent with the proposed plan.
2. The special use in the specific location proposed is consistent with the spirit and intent of this Code.
Staff’s findings: The proposed use, while subject to approval as a special use, is consistent with the
purpose statement in Article 5.5 for the Downtown Edge 1 Sub-District, which states, “The [district] is

intended to address areas of transition between the higher intensity environment of the Downtown Center
and adjacent residential districts and small-scale neighborhood commercial. The C-D-E1 Sub-District is
intended to facilitate mixed-use development with standards that focus on compatibility with adjacent
development.”
3. The proposed special use will not endanger the public health, safety, or welfare.
Staff’s findings: Staff is not aware of any concerns which may present a hazard to public health, safety, or
welfare, except that of the parking requirement and limited additional trips which may occur as a result
of the density. However, staff does not believe these items will be of measurable public detriment.
4. The proposed special use is compatible with the general land use of adjacent properties and other property
within the immediate vicinity.
Staff’s findings: According to the zoning of neighboring properties, the property is compatible, however,
when taking land use into account, the proposed use may not be consistent with the neighboring
properties.
5. Public infrastructure and services to support the use is sufficient in the location of this special use.
Staff’s findings: Staff finds that the public infrastructure and services to support the use are sufficient,
however, the applicant will need to submit a Traffic Impact Study with their site plan submittal to the
Planning Commission to ensure appropriate roadway infrastructure is in place.
Variance Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request. If the Board of Zoning Appeals finds the request
to be reasonable and compliant with the requirements for a variance, staff recommends that they adopt the findings in
this report or others to support the approval.
Possible Motion: Motion to adopt the finding of facts and conclusions of law provided in the staff report and to
approve variance BZA 1371-2023 to allow an 80’ maximum front setback with the following conditions:
1. The site plan application must be substantially consistent with the plans submitted.
2. The applicant must comply with TIS requirements.
3. Per Section 13.4G of the Unified Development Code, an approved variance will expire one year from the date
of approval unless a site plan review application has been submitted or, where site plan review is not required,
a building permit is obtained. The Board of Zoning Appeals may grant an extension for a period of validity for
no longer than an additional 6 months, so long as the applicant applies in writing for an extension of time at
any time before the date of expiration. No public hearing is required for approval of such extension of time.
4. Should the applicant propose a dimensional change in front setback, the applicant must again come before
the Board of Zoning Appeals for a final determination.
Possible Motion: Motion to Deny the applicant’s request based on the findings of facts and conclusions of law
provided in the staff report and to deny variance BZA 1371-2023 and not allow an 80’ maximum front setback being
applicant failed the following criteria:
1. Where, by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, size or shape of a specific piece of property at the
