This concept was approved in 2021 (2-SB-21-C/2-D-21-UR) and has since expired. Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 13-3-413, a Concept Plan shall be vested for a period of three (3) years from the date of Planning Commission approval. The vesting period shall expire if site preparation has not commenced, all necessary permits are not obtained, and the Final Plat is not approved within the three (3) year vesting period. This provision is not intended to limit additional vesting periods that may apply pursuant to Section 13-3-413 of TCA.

The only change from the 2021 approval is that sidewalks are no longer required since Gap Creek Elementary is scheduled to close. One of the criteria for requiring sidewalks is proximity to schools.
