The basin has 10,372 total acres within the City’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), approximately 2,400 of which has been deemed developable. ANNEXATION CAPABILITY The Goose Creek Basin is the focus of strong development interest, and has been a focal point of annexation between 2019 and 2021, with 815 acres of land outside the UGB being annexed into the City. The continued buildout and approval of projects on the Berry Farms tracts has shown this is a desirable area to live and work, and will continue to be so in the future. Due to these factors, and the availability of sewer infrastructure in the area, the Goose Creek Basin has short-term annexation capabilities. However, the outlying areas of the basin are likely more long-term growth areas due to the timing of future infrastructure improvements to support development. VISION The Goose Creek Basin will see increased density along the I-65 corridor with the continued buildout of the Berry Farms developments, with density decreasing gradually towards the edges of the UGB. Significant study has occurred to analyze the vision and future for the Goose Creek Basin; the basin has potential for a range of development intensity depending on additional access available to I-65 and the timing of roadway improvements. The east side of I-65 should provide a mix of residential and commercial uses that serve the local area, with a focus on uses that will not significantly contribute to peak hour delays at the I-65 and Goose Creek interchange. If the southern flyover cannot be constructed, then density and uses in the southern part of the basin will likely be limited to predominantly single-family residential use due to access constraints and anticipated failing queue times at the I-65 and Goose Creek Bypass interchange. TRANSPORTATION/ACCESS Major roadway connections are planned to service the area with the extension of Carothers Parkway, Goose Creek Bypass, the widening of Peytonsville Road, and others in the City’s Transportation Network Plan, Connect Franklin. These infrastructure investments will likely be driven through development and are not currently funded through the City’s Capital Improvement Project (CIP). In addition to the CIP transportation projects, the City has engaged TDOT about the potential for a new partial interchange on I-65 located just north of the I-840 & I-65 interchange. The construction of this partial interchange would support additional development opportunities in the southern portion of the basin, but it is unknown at this time whether this will become a reality. LAND USE AND GROWTH The Goose Creek Basin has a combination of land uses throughout that include Regional Commerce, Neighborhood Mixed-Use, Neighborhood Commercial, Rural Reserve, Neighborhood Green, Large-Lot Residential, Mixed Residential, SingleFamily Residential, and Conservation. Growth in this basin, will have topographical constraints limiting development potential; hilltops and steep slopes are prevalent throughout the basin especially along the southern boundary. Several creeks flow through the basin into the Harpeth River. It is anticipated that development will continue to occur starting in the area south of Long Lane and east of the Reams-Fleming Tract, before properties further to the east are able to develop.
