80 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Lewisburg Pike New development should have deep setbacks to respect the existing character and should be sensitively designed around historic structures. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings, should be utilized to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. Northwest Quadrant of Mack Hatcher Parkway, between Hillsboro Road and New Highway 96 West to the edges of the UGB New development should be master planned and integrated into the design of the entire area including street connectivity. New development should enhance and improve the street network and align with the outcome of the West Harpeth Study conducted in 2021, per Connect Franklin. New Highway 96 West This scenic corridor should have deep setbacks of at least 300 feet for new development. Informal landscape design and rural features, such as stone walls, wood plank fencing, and informal tree plantings, should be utilized to sustain the scenic and rural quality of the area. West of Mack Hatcher Parkway and North of New Highway 96 West (Short Farm) At the “Historic” Farm (buildings near the intersection of New Highway 96 and Mack Hatcher Parkway), buildings should maintain their agricultural character, but may be repurposed for agriculture-related uses and enterprises. New buildings and additions may be appropriate to support the “agrihood” that complement and do not overwhelm or detract from the historic structures. An “agrihood” is defined as a farm-focused mixed-use development that incorporates a working farm. This area is intended to be accessed primarily by pedestrians and general vehicular traffic should be avoided, however, minimal farm or house-related vehicular traffic may access the area by gravel, dirt, or grass drive aisles as is consistent with existing agricultural character. The parcel north of Old Charlotte Pike and immediately west of Mack Hatcher Parkway may integrate complementary and ancillary nonresidential uses into the agrihood. One farm market café/restaurant located as a community amenity associated with open space, plazas, parks, or community gardens could be supported. Ten to 20 small-scale office, live-work units, and/ or makers’ spaces may be appropriate where incorporated into townhomes and multiplexes as a portion of an overall master plan. These types of uses should be complimentary to the residential and agricultural uses. A Special Consideration in Neighborhood Mixed-Use also exists that provides additional guidance for the “agrihood.” NEIGHBORHOOD GREEN
