400 Old Peytonsville Road Envision Franklin Plan Amendment Neighborhood Meeting 10-8-2026

The City of Franklin held a required neighborhood meeting on October 8, 2026, regarding an Envision Franklin Plan amendment for 400 Old Peytonsville Road, an approximately 7.45-acre property zoned Regional Commerce (RC-12). The property owners’ representative requested special consideration to allow standalone multifamily housing while retaining the Regional Commerce designation, citing nearby Berry Farms amenities, pedestrian connections, site access constraints, and a similar amendment approved for a nearby property in 2024. The representative said the request concerns the allowable use only; a future development plan would undergo separate city review. No vote or procurement activity was identified.

Residents raised concerns about traffic, road safety and capacity, flooding, construction impacts on neighboring properties, and limited notice of the meeting. The representative and city staff said those issues would be evaluated during later development-plan review. Staff also described upcoming review steps, including a non-voting conceptual workshop and a future public hearing. The discussion did not result in a contract, purchase, or budget decision.
