Development Code

Fairview, Tennessee

Located just 15 miles west of TPUDC’s Franklin office, the City of Fairview is a rapidly growing area in need of a new Development Code. Incorporated in 1959, the City stretches along Highways 100 and 96, and saw its population double between 2000 and 2020. Known for its distinctive topography and Bowie Nature Park, Fairview sought regulations that would focus development along key corridors to preserve its rolling hills.

In September 2024, TPUDC hosted the project’s extensive outreach process, Codeapalooza, over four days, gathering valuable community input on topics such as Housing & Neighborhood Character, Transportation & Streetscapes, and Utilities & Infrastructure. The event featured a hands-on citizen mapping workshop on the opening night, allowing participants to “be a planner for the night,” alongside presentations by TPUDC. Based on the feedback collected, TPUDC began drafting the Development Code, completing the Client Draft in early January 2025 for client review.
