General Information
La Vergne’s location and population have proven prime for commercial
development. The City has seen a steady increase of restaurants and
retail over the last several years to meet the demands of the
nation’s 61st fastest growing suburb (Forbes, 2007). After potential
developers work with economic development
to find out the incentives of locating in La Vergne, they work with
the City Planner and City Engineer to find out what is needed to
meet the planning and engineering requirements for their site layout.
The Codes Department
is then consulted to find out structure specific issues, building
permit, impact, and tap fees, and signage requirements.

Checklists, Fees, and Forms
It is best to call and schedule an appointment to discuss planning
items in depth to ensure that all items have been researched and
documents are ready. Preconferences for Planning Commission and BOZA
submittals are highly recommended, in order to avoid delays
in the approval process. Preconferences can be scheduled through the
City Planner or City Engineer. The list of submittal dates can be
found below.
The City’s standard application is required for site plan and plat
submittal. Board of Zoning Appeals and rezoning submittals must
include this along their own application. The City also has
checklists to assist with site plans, preliminary plats, final
plats, rezonings, special exception, and variance applications.
These applications must be accompanied by a submittal fee and
other required information.

Recent Regulations
Recently passed regulations include
PC Resolution 2008-01
and PC Resolution 2009-01,
which clarifies the sidewalk requirements, and Ordinance 2008-16,
which amends parking requirements.
The City has been looking at other ordinances in order to regulate development more
effectively. The Waldron-Murfreesboro Road Streetscape District and the South Waldron
Overlay District have been proposed to enhance design standards for new commerical
and industrial development and major additions.

Projects
Several projects are planned for La Vergne, the most anticipated of
which is the Waldron Road widening project. The project has been bid,
and construction will be taking place over the next few years. Once
complete, it will alleviate a highly congested corridor and open up
the city to further economic development. The project will include
five lanes and sidewalks, which will connect La Vergne’s two other
major arteries, I-24 and Murfreesboro Road.
