Goodlettsville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Goodlettsville agendas: 345-unit Rivergate apartment plan, budget amendment and event venue rules — outcomes not yet posted

Goodlettsville's Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners held three sessions over the past two weeks, with agendas covering a 345-unit apartment proposal at Rivergate, an amendment to the current fiscal year's budget, and new event venue rules. Agendas for all three are posted, but minutes have not yet been published, so no votes, outcomes or dollar amounts are confirmed in the public record reviewed here.

345 apartments proposed at 1000 Rivergate Parkway

The Planning Commission's October 5 agenda listed a final site plan for 345 dwelling units in three four-story apartment buildings at 1000 Rivergate Parkway — 13.46 acres zoned RC1PUD. The same agenda included a Dry Creek Commons Phase Two performance bond extension requested by Vastland Eatherley McClung Development, LLC, and approval of the 2027 Planning Commission Meeting and Plan Submittal Calendar. A public forum on planning-related topics was also scheduled. Whether the commission approved, denied, postponed or continued any of these items is not yet documented.

Board of Commissioners met twice on October 8

The Board held a 6:00 p.m. study session in Massie Chambers at City Hall. The only listed discussion item was bulk brush pickup. The agenda states that no formal action can be taken during a study session and notes that the Board may add items at its discretion.

The regular meeting followed at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Event venue classification and budget amendment on second reading

Two ordinances were listed for second readings. Ordinance 26-1155 would amend Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 212 Item (6) and replace Section 219 with a new Event Venue Classification. Ordinance 26-1156 would amend the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget passed by Ordinance #26-1142. The agenda summary does not state the dollar amounts involved in the budget amendment.

A first reading was also scheduled for Ordinance 26-1157, amending Goodlettsville Municipal Code Title 17, Section 109. The agenda summary does not describe what that change would do.

Surplus property, new city manager on the same agenda

Resolution 26-1355 would declare certain property surplus and calls for disposal by online auction or other reasonable manner. The agenda summary does not identify the property. The meeting also included the swearing in of a new City Manager and recognition of 2026 Citizen Police Academy participants, along with citizen comments and approval of the September 10, 2026 minutes.

Coming up

The Industrial Development Board meets October 22 to consider an amendment to an Intergovernmental Agreement regarding the Rivergate Mall Tax Increment Financing (TIF) arrangement. The agenda also includes standard procedural items and public comments. TIF agreements direct a portion of future property tax growth toward development costs, so amendments to them can affect how Rivergate Mall area revenue is allocated. No details of the proposed amendment were included in the agenda summary provided.

Residents who want the actual outcomes of the October 5 and October 8 meetings will need to check the city's posted minutes once they are published; this roundup reflects only what the agendas listed.

Goodlettsville agendas: 345-unit Rivergate apartment plan, budget amendment, surplus property auction

Goodlettsville's three most recent public meetings fell between Oct. 5 and Oct. 8, but minutes for none of them had been published as of Oct. 13. That means everything below is what was scheduled or listed on an agenda — not a confirmed decision. No vote tallies, dollar amounts, or outcomes appear in the records available.

Rivergate: 345-unit apartment plan

The Goodlettsville Municipal Planning Commission met Oct. 5 with a final site plan for 345 dwelling units in three four-story apartment buildings at 1000 Rivergate Parkway on its agenda. The site is 13.46 acres and is zoned RC1PUD. A final site plan is the detailed review stage that follows a project's broader approval; the agenda does not state an outcome.

The commission was also scheduled to consider a performance bond extension for Dry Creek Commons Phase Two, requested by Vastland Eatherley McClung Development, LLC, and to approve its 2027 Planning Commission Meeting and Plan Submittal Calendar. A public forum on planning-related topics was listed as well.

Commissioners: budget amendment, event venue rules, surplus property

The Board of Commissioners met Oct. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The agenda listed the swearing-in of a new City Manager and recognition of 2026 Citizen Police Academy participants, along with these items:

• **Ordinance 26-1155, second reading:** amends Title 8, Chapter 2, Section 212 Item (6) and replaces Section 219 with a new Event Venue Classification.
• **Ordinance 26-1156, second reading:** amends the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget passed by Ordinance #26-1142.
• **Ordinance 26-1157, first reading:** amends Goodlettsville Municipal Code Title 17, Section 109.
• **Resolution 26-1355:** declares certain property surplus and calls for disposal by online auction or another reasonable manner.

The agenda also listed approval of the Sept. 10, 2026 minutes and citizen comments. The records provided do not include the text of the ordinances or the resolution, the property involved, or any dollar figures.

Brush pickup study session

Earlier the same day, the Board held a 6:00 p.m. study session in Massie Chambers at City Hall. The only listed discussion item was bulk brush pickup. The agenda states that no formal action can be taken during a study session, and that the Board may add items at its discretion.

Coming up

The Industrial Development Board meets Oct. 22 to consider an amendment to an Intergovernmental Agreement for the Rivergate Mall Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. TIF is a financing tool that uses growth in property tax revenue from a defined area to pay for improvements there. The agenda also includes standard procedural items and public comments.

Note: minutes for the Oct. 5 and Oct. 8 meetings had not been published as of Oct. 13, so this roundup describes what was scheduled, not what was decided.

Goodlettsville board weighs data center moratorium, food truck rules

The Goodlettsville Board of Commissioners met twice on Aug. 13, 2026, to discuss a range of items, including a proposed 18-month moratorium on new data center facilities, changes to food truck rules, and recreation fee structures. No formal action was taken at either meeting, as both were agenda-only sessions with minutes not yet published. The Beautification & Tree Advisory Board also met Aug. 19 to discuss park improvements and other projects.

• Resolution 26-1347: Declares surplus property for online auction
• Resolution 26-1348: Approves TDOT contract for state right-of-way maintenance

These items will require further readings and votes before taking effect.

Beautification & Tree Advisory Board (Aug. 19)

The board discussed several beautification projects, including a native wildflower meadow, traffic and pedestrian improvements at Moss-Wright Park, and replacement arboretum labels and maps. It also planned fall beautification and clean-up events and received updates from parks staff. The agenda was routine and included approval of May 20, 2026 minutes.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are scheduled in the next two weeks, according to the provided agenda. Residents should check the city’s official channels for any announcements.

Goodlettsville boards weigh Rivergate Master Plan, park fees, and zoning changes; minutes not yet available

Goodlettsville's Planning Commission, Board of Zoning and Sign Appeals, and Board of Commissioners all met in the past two weeks, but minutes have not yet been published for any of the sessions.

The third request is a revised Rivergate Master Plan that would add a right-in/right-out driveway onto Rivergate Parkway, revise use locations, and add residential units. A discussion item on a conceptual Paradyme Vehicle Storage and Gym proposal for South Dickerson Pike was also scheduled.

No outcome is available; minutes have not been published.

Board of Commissioners — July 9

The Board of Commissioners agenda included a public hearing on Ordinance 26-1151, which would establish a participation fee for individuals using city park athletic programs and an additional non-resident privilege fee. This was listed as a first reading.

Three Goodlettsville boards met the week of July 6–9, 2026, with agendas covering new car washes, a self-storage facility, park athletic fees, and several zoning ordinances. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the meetings, so outcomes of the items below are not yet confirmed.
