Franklin council weighs east-side annexation, rezoning

What is under consideration

The Franklin City Council is weighing two actions connected to an industrial project on the city’s east side: annexing property and changing its zoning. Annexation would bring the property into the city, while rezoning would change the land-use designation for the proposed project.

Council process

The council’s consideration of the annexation and rezoning is the reported development. The project’s size, the property’s current zoning, the requested new zoning category, and the applicant are not identified here.

No council decision is reported. The next step is whether the city council schedules, discusses or votes on the requests. Any action would determine whether the annexation and rezoning move forward through the city’s process.

What remains to be established

The public record should clarify the project’s location, the land involved, the proposed industrial use and any conditions attached to the requests. It should also show whether the council approves, rejects or postpones either action.

The Daily Journal reported on the council’s consideration of the proposal. No primary record is linked here.
