Commission grants PUD and site-plan approvals for multiple projects, defers one application

On Sept. 3 the Planning Commission approved several site-plan and PUD items. The commission granted final PUD approval for a Cate Road project proposing 28 cabins; staff noted one minor utility item remained but could be resolved administratively. A four-unit townhome site plan on River Valley Circle was approved subject to resolution of a remaining staff comment. QEC3 Partners received preliminary approval for a redesigned 43-unit PUD at Bogart Drive, with staff noting outstanding items including confirmation of stream-related requirements with the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) and drainage calculations.

Separately, a proposed 15,600-square-foot martial arts facility on Knife Works Lane was deferred because parking, drainage, sidewalks and access comments had not been addressed. All approvals and the deferral were recorded by unanimous votes on motions by commissioners, and the Cate Road PUD approval was moved by Mayor Fox.
