Clarksville City Council Ward 9
Clarksville, TN – The City of Clarksville is requesting input for the CTS Transit Center Relocation and the Frosty Morn building.
Your input is very important. Your responses will help ensure that your recommendations are heard and understood. Not having enough respondents will leave the City unable to determine the view of various community members throughout the City.
In case you all weren’t aware, our City was one of three cities in the nation to win a spot in the Mayor Innovative Design Cohort for the Frosty Morn building renovation. The Cohort is a national partnership between The American Institute of Architects and the Mayors Innovation Project to help build zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, and equitable cities. So, let’s rebuild Frosty Morn – for All!
Please let me know if your concerns or questions.

Recommendation from RPC: The proposed zoning request is inconsistent with the adopted Land Use Plan and is out of character with the surrounding development pattern. The road frontage/access for the property has encumbered site distance & it is not recommended to increase density under the present conditions.
