CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – More than 14 acres off Trenton Road is proposed for rezoning in an effort to transition an old, rundown trailer park into a new mixed-use development.
The rezone from R-1 Single-Family Residential District to R-4 and C-5 north of Fairview Lane has passed first reading and will be revisited by the Clarksville City Council this week and next.
Clarksville lawyer Larry Rocconi expanded on the applicant’s plans at last month’s City Council regular session meeting. “Everybody knows Trenton Road, and I’m sure everybody has looked to the right (going north). There’s a trailer park with trailers in various states of dilapidation; they’re just rotting,” Rocconi said. “So, Mr. (Todd) Morris has identified this as a place where he can build a strip center. We believe Trenton Road is perfectly suitable for that.”
Rocconi said that they have identified two or three additional tracts of land in the rear of the property that the developers also plan to utilize. “It was not being used, it was generating nothing to the tax base to the city or the county,” he said. “Then we looked, and it actually extends to R-4, which is coming from the other side. We’ll extend the R-4, and we’ll have some multi-family behind the C-5.”…
