Brentwood planning staff presented a site plan for Athalie, a proposed combined physical therapy and fitness facility at 273 Wilson Pike Circle, during the planning commission meeting. The application seeks to incorporate the existing Williamson County emissions testing building into an 11,982-square-foot, single-story building with associated parking and patient drop-off.

Planning staff said the proposal would convert the existing mission-bay openings into storefront glazing, stain the existing building's brick a light-gray masonry, and add new metal panels in various shades of black and gray with a light-gray masonry skirting. The project plan calls for 69 parking spaces and accessible parking including patient drop-off for the physical-therapy portion. Staff said the building will have appointment-based uses and is expected to generate less vehicle traffic than previous uses on the site.

The plan includes an on-site bioretention pond, which staff said the applicant will assess during the grading-permit phase to confirm it is functioning and in compliance; staff said the applicant's drainage calculations show a significant reduction in stormwater outfalls. Staff listed five conditions of approval, 15 standard conditions, and a requirement for a revised final plat because of existing easements behind the site.

Commissioners asked about hours of operation and traffic. Staff reported anticipated hours would include classes beginning as early as 5 a.m. and continuing through roughly 7 p.m., and noted the facility's services are appointment-based. Commissioners raised traffic concerns at the nearby Wilson Pike Circle North/Church Street area and noted precedent congestion where cars queue during peak times; staff said a traffic study was performed and that the applicant does not propose any new traffic signal or intersection improvements.

Staff said the building behind the site is zoned C-2 and currently houses offices and small businesses. Commissioners also asked about previous flooding and the condition of a detention/retention area; staff said there have been drainage issues elsewhere in the corridor but not at the Athalie site, and that the applicant must verify the existing bioretention pond's condition as part of permitting.

No formal vote or final action on the application was recorded in the meeting transcript.
