# City of Franklin, Board of Zoning Appeals 10-1-2026

The City of Franklin Board of Zoning Appeals met on October 1, 2026. The board approved the September 3 meeting minutes and granted two parking variances for Cross Point at 1213 Country Road: additional drive aisles and parking bays in the Franklin Road frontage area for both the existing and proposed buildings. The applicant said the project would allow the church campus to expand without a prolonged closure; they also clarified that the new building would occupy an existing parking lot and would not require removing the tree line. The board also approved a variance allowing the front façades of three proposed commercial buildings at Tax Map 089, Parcel 04801, to be oriented up to 12 degrees nonparallel to the frontage.

The board then considered variance requests for an existing retaining wall built without a permit at 1316 Buckingham Circle and an adjacent parcel. Staff raised concerns about setback compliance and potential effects if the wall failed; the owner and engineer discussed site slopes, drainage, the wall’s construction, and the neighboring property owner’s consent. Board members debated the requests, including whether to consider them separately, but the provided transcript ends before a final decision or vote is recorded. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending approvals were identified; the matters concerned zoning variances and land development.
