Zoning Ordinance

Franklin, Tennessee

TPUDC was hired by the City of Franklin to assist in updating their zoning ordinance. The primary goal of the update was to better align the ordinance with Envision Franklin, the City’s long-range plan. The ordinance, set to be adopted in late 2019, will be more streamlined and user-friendly for both staff and citizens. 

As part of this project, TPUDC conducted a code testing Planapalooza, during which the team created conceptual master plans for several focus areas. These plans were then tested using the parameters set forth in the draft zoning ordinance. The public was invited to participate in a hands-on workshop that helped the team hone in on the types of development character desired in different parts of the City. Public meetings on various topics were held throughout the week, and additional public engagement opportunities were provided via an interactive website.
