Highway 109 in front of Spence Creek in Lebanon: Is commercial development coming?

Commercial development on the northern portion State Route 109 in front of Lebanon's Spence Creek neighborhood appears to be in the works, though what could be coming remains uncertain. Spence Creek has more than 750 homes. There are also two commercially zoned parcels that front the neighborhood on the west side of Highway 109 just north of Highway 70. Commercial parcels are on the north and south sides of Rock Castle Drive, which goes into Spence Creek. Both are undeveloped. The Lebanon City Council approved an amendment for the Spence Creek Planned Unit Development so the owner of a south parcel could include additional land. That action came after a neighborhood effort to stop a gas station from being considered for the northern parcel with a different developer. The neighborhood was united against the gas station, according to Spence Creek HOA board member Ken Shorey. Gas stations were not listed as an approved use for the commercial portion of the Planned Unit Development, and Lebanon's planning staff decided a gas station should not be allowed. That decision was going to be challenged to the Lebanon Board of Zoning Appeals. However, the request was deferred back in November and then postponed indefinitely in December. The separate PUD amendment for the additional land approved by the city council includes specific language to prohibit gas stations and laundromats, Lebanon Planning Director Paul Corder said. Commercial options that can be pursued through the Spence Creek Planned Unit Development on State Route 109 include: Daycares Certain restaurant plans Coffee shops Retail stores and shops Offices Barbers Medical clinics.
