CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A mixed-use planned development would bring apartments, townhomes, retail and office buildings to the planned Spring Creek Parkway, being built between Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and Trenton Road.
The development requires rezoning around 84 acres of land off Trenton Road from AG to MXU-PUD, and the rezoning was proposed to the Clarksville City Council on Thursday.
The developer, Christian Innovative Enterprises, states in the rezoning application that “Black Oaks” would be made up of two districts:
The first, on the west side of the development, would be comprised of 45 acres with 47,500 square feet of retail and commercial, 61 townhomes, a three-story senior living residence, 144 multi-family units and 116 residential units. In addition, the land would include a clubhouse, walking trails, a pool and 8 acres of open space (17.87%).
The second district, on the eastern side, would be 28 acres with 146,140 square feet of retail and commercial space, 15,000 square feet for office space, 41,640 square feet for office and commercial space and then 38 potential residences. This section will have 6% of the 28 acres be open space.
The master vision plan for Black Oaks “reflects an urban design concept, which incorporates a broad spectrum of building product that are in close physical proximity and complement each other.”
A specific goal of the plan is to highlight pedestrian access across the mixed-use development, which is why they plan to incorporate open spaces and trails.
Jeffery Tyndall, director of the Regional Planning Commission, told the City Council on Thursday that the development runs alongside the corridor of the first phase of the Spring Creek Parkway. Infrastructure within the development includes one primary road with numerous secondary and tertiary roads.
The RPC said the application met the requirements needed to transition to a mixed-use planned development and recommended approval by the council.
The mixed-use planned development will be voted on at the next council meeting, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m.
