Envision Franklin

42 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts USES Vision Arts and culture uses are highly encouraged in new or adaptively reused spaces for creative ideas and talent expression through the use of performing and creative arts. These could include galleries, studios, theaters, museums, event space, classrooms, markets, makerspaces, and other spaces that foster visual, auditory, and sensory creativity. Uses Uses at the Factory at Franklin should include Local Commercial and Light Industrial uses with an emphasis on arts and culture. A Hotel may be an appropriate use at this site if carefully designed to complement and support the historic Factory buildings. Secondary uses could include Townhouses, Live Work Units, Multifamily Residential, Institutional, and Recreation. Uses along Harpeth Industrial Court should be a mix of Local Commercial, Light Industrial, Institutional, and Multifamily on upper floors. Established light industrial uses are encouraged to remain. Uses related to arts and culture are encouraged. Uses to the south of Liberty Pike should be predominantly residential, including a mix of Single Family Residential, Duplexes, Multiplexes, Townhouses, and Multifamily Residential. Uses related to arts and culture are encouraged. In Multifamily buildings, first floor Local Commercial uses are encouraged where fronting Liberty Pike. Along the southern edge of the Factory District, single family residential or duplexes should be located along the periphery to appropriately transition to the adjacent historic residential neighborhoods. The historic Alpheus Truett House facing Franklin Road should remain Single Family Residential. The first two structures along Morningside Drive facing Franklin Road should remain and be preserved subject to the Historic District Design Guidelines. Future residential uses in the rear of the property could include duplexes, multiplexes, and townhouses. For the property north of Morningside Drive, future development should be located behind the hill and could include singlefamily residential, duplexes, townhouses, multiplexes, small-scale multifamily, and accessory dwellings. FORM Building Placement The established setbacks of historic buildings should remain. No new buildings should be located in front of the Factory buildings. See the Historic District Design Guidelines for additional guidance. Any new buildings should have moderate setbacks along Franklin Road and Liberty Pike, but buildings internal to a site or along Harpeth Industrial Court should have shallow to moderate setbacks. Any new buildings along Morningside Drive or on the adjacent parcel to the north (hill across from Harlinsdale Park) should respect the rural character of Franklin Road. Infill should be located behind the hill to obscure visibility and maintain the rural viewshed. See Appendix D. FACTORY DISTRICT
