Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 91 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS 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. Commercial and office uses should not front along New Highway 96 West. Northwest corner of Hillsboro Road and Del Rio Pike (Independence Square) The buildings may have a height of three stories along the existing streets. Buildings internal to the site may be up to four stories with appropriate transitions. West Main Street Area West Main Street consists of a unique mix of land uses that provides important services to surrounding neighborhoods. Commercial nodes within these corridors are encouraged at intersections. The eclectic mix of land uses, such as neighborhood retail and restaurants, should remain, since they make this area unique. The area also has institutional uses, such as the Williamson County Administration offices. Future development should respect the surrounding historic neighborhoods. West Main Street will remain an important gateway into Downtown Franklin. New infill buildings should maintain the established block face. Building height is encouraged to be two stories at the street and may include a recessed 3rd story. Commercial and mixed-use buildings south of Petway Street should have a storefront character along West Main Street. NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED-USE
