Council grants sewer allocation variance for proposed Brixton Senior Care facility

The Murfreesboro City Council on April 23 approved a sewer allocation variance for Brixton Senior Care’s proposed senior living facility on Franklin Road, allowing approximately 13 single‑family‑unit equivalents of sewer capacity for a development that would include 21 memory care units, 56 assisted living units and 95 independent living units.

Planning staff (Mr. Barbee) told the council the Planning Commission supports the request and the Water Resources Department confirmed additional sewer basin capacity is available to serve the project. The variance was presented as consistent with applicable planning recommendations and the required utility review.

Council moved, seconded and approved the variance by roll call during the land‑use portion of the meeting.

Next steps were not specified in detail on the record; staff did not state specific timelines for permitting or construction during the presentation.
