Board of Zoning Appeals - July 29, 2026

The City of Murfreesboro Board of Zoning Appeals convened on July 29, 2026, to address several zoning and land use matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a special use permit amendment for Stones River Country Club to expand onto an adjacent parcel, with conditions to avoid costly subdivision survey fees by recording a land use restriction. The board also reviewed a variance request by Tristar Transport (Premier Sign Company) for a 50-foot electronic graphic display sign at a 7-Eleven/Speedway property, which was ultimately denied due to noncompliance with city sign ordinances and the widespread nature of the issue. Additionally, a special use permit was approved for an accessory apartment at 1118 Southeast Broad Street, with conditions on building permits and restrictions on future livable space expansion. Lastly, ASI Storage Properties LLC sought and received approval for a special use permit to establish a garden and lawn supply use at 2415 Hall Pike, with conditions for additional landscaping buffers to protect adjacent residential properties. The meeting included motions, votes, and detailed staff presentations on zoning compliance, variances, and permit conditions affecting future development and signage within the city.
