Elam Station Rezoning Approved for 187 Units in Antioch

Metro Council approved rezoning for Elam Station, a residential development of 187 units at 1065 Barnes Road in Antioch. The change from AR2a to SP zoning passed November 5, 2026, and took effect November 13 (BL2026-1558). Green Trails LLC is developing the 55.6-acre site, located about 54 feet east of Barnes Bend Drive.

Plans call for 77 single-family lots and 110 multifamily units, though the later council version lists 78 lots and 109 multifamily units. Single-family lots run a minimum 6,000 square feet. Heights top out at 35 feet: two stories for single-family, two to three for multifamily.

Roughly 9.68 acres, about 26 percent of the site, will be preserved as environmentally sensitive land and steep slopes. Short-term rentals, owner-occupied or not, are prohibited. The Metro Planning Commission approved the proposal with conditions 7-0 on August 13, 2026 (Proposal No. 2026SP-018-001). Land Solutions Company, LLC is listed as the applicant on the zoning filing; John Rutherford is the council sponsor.

The project is planned in three phases: south, central, then north. Traffic analysis projects 427 additional daily weekday trips; school generation estimates 51 new students.
