Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 75 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Southeast Quadrant of the Carothers Parkway and South Carothers Road Intersection Given the proximity to the Lockwood Glen Neighborhood to the south, the uses at this location should be limited to restaurants without a drive-through, office, retail, and personal services, all which emphasize local, small businesses. Furthermore, the only recommended uses of those specified are those that may be accessed safely and effectively from South Carothers Road. Any connection to South Carothers Road is contingent on a Development Plan submittal and Traffic Impact Analysis review. Buildings should be designed to fit the neighborhood scale at a maximum of two-and-a-half stories with flat or gable roofs. The Planned District is the appropriate zoning district to implement this vision. West of Carothers Parkway between Upland Drive and South Carothers Road This commercial node should provide services to the growing residential corridor while being designed within the neighborhood scale. The neighborhood scale in this location should include building heights with a maximum of two-and-a-half stories and should allow both flat and gable roof styles. Recommended uses should include restaurants, office, retail, daycare, and personal services which emphasize local, small businesses. Gas stations and drive-through quick service restaurants are inappropriate for this area. The Planned District is the appropriate zoning district to implement this vision. Hillview Lane and Columbia Pike, Southwest Quadrant Building height should not exceed one story to protect the viewshed of the historic Winstead Hill. South Royal Oaks Blvd Continuum of Care is an appropriate land use along this corridor. Future Neighborhood Commercial Nodes As the city grows, there may be a need for additional neighborhood commercial nodes that are not yet mapped. These potential nodes should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis using the following criteria: • Located at intersections of two arterial streets or of a collector and arterial street; • Located at least one mile from an existing or planned node since these centers generally serve neighborhoods within a one and one-half mile radius; • Generally characterized by gross leasable areas of less than 100,000 square feet on sites of three to twenty acres; and • Commercial nodes should not encroach down residential or scenic corridors, rather, they should be strategically located at nodes meeting the above criteria.
