Planning Commission 6/1/26

The City of East Ridge Planning Commission held a meeting on June 1, 2026, primarily to consider a rezoning request for the property at 529 Frawley Road from RT-1 Residential Townhome District to RG-1 Zero Lot Line Residential District. The rezoning would reduce residential density from 108 to 77 dwelling units, aligning with city council guidelines. Public concerns were raised about infrastructure, particularly stormwater drainage and lighting impacts on neighboring properties. The developer acknowledged market changes and expressed willingness to adjust plans, including potential relocation of the entrance to address lighting concerns. The commission discussed stormwater infrastructure challenges and coordination with engineering and environmental agencies. The rezoning was approved by a unanimous vote of the commission members present. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but infrastructure improvements related to the development were noted as potential future considerations.
