# Planning Commission - October 21, 2026

The Murfreesboro Planning Commission meeting on October 21, 2026, focused on zoning, right-of-way changes, development plans, and site reviews; no contract awards, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity were identified. The Commission recommended approval of a 2.51-acre Brinkley Avenue PUD for an expansion of the existing Fair Brothers Ace Hardware operation and approved abandonment of excess right-of-way near Hartman Farm Court and Veterans Parkway for the planned police precinct and fire station, subject to retaining specified utility easements and completing platting steps. Site-plan approvals included courtyard additions at Trustpoint Hospital, an Ascension Saint Thomas freestanding ER conditioned on off-site road improvements before occupancy, and a Waste Management hauling facility. The transcript does not provide a project cost for these developments.

The Commission also approved residential plans with conditions, including limiting Laurel Stone Section Two to 10 building permits until the amenity center is completed and requiring one shared access point and a maintenance arrangement for the Sulphur Springs subdivision. Public hearings were scheduled for November 4 on zoning applications for a proposed MTSU-associated hotel and Middle Tennessee Christian School improvements, and for December 2 on an annexation and a Scannell Properties PUD proposal. Revisions to the Scannell proposal included removing data centers from its allowed-use table and adding a commercially zoned area along Manchester Pike.
