APPLICANT REQUEST
SP Amendment to permit up to 55 multi-family residential units.
SP Amendment
A request to amend a Specific Plan (SP) on property located at 2433 Buena Vista Pike, approximately 721 feet west
of East Ln, zoned Specific Plan (SP) (5.01 acres), to permit 55 multi-family residential units.
Existing Zoning
Specific Plan- Mixed Use (SP-MU) is a zoning District category that provides for additional flexibility of design, including
the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General Plan. This
Specific Plan includes residential uses in addition to office and/or commercial uses.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan-Residential (SP-R) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design, including
the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General Plan. This
Specific Plan includes only one residential building type.
BORDEAUX – WHITES CREEK – HAYNES TRINITY COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving (T4 NE) is intended to create and enhance urban residential neighborhoods that
provide more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate to high density
development patterns with shallow setbacks and minimal spacing between buildings. T4 NE areas are served by high
levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and existing or planned mass transit. T4 NE
policy may be applied either to undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed
areas where redevelopment and infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and
connectivity. Successful infill and redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations
such as timing and some elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network and block
structure and proximity to centers and corridors.
T3 Suburban Neighborhood Evolving (T3 NE) is intended to create and enhance suburban residential neighborhoods
with more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate density
development patterns with moderate setbacks and spacing between buildings. T3 NE policy may be applied either to
undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed areas where redevelopment and
infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and connectivity. Successful infill and
redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations such as timing and some
elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network, block structure, and proximity to centers
and corridors. T3 NE areas are developed with creative thinking in environmentally sensitive building and site
development techniques to balance the increased growth and density with its impact on area streams and rivers.
Conservation (CO) is intended to preserve environmentally sensitive land features through protection and
remediation. CO policy applies in all Transect Categories except T1 Natural, T5 Center, and T6 Downtown. CO policy
identifies land with sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, floodway/floodplains,
rare or special plant or animal habitats, wetlands, and unstable or problem soils. The guidance for preserving or
enhancing these features varies with what Transect they are in and whether or not they have already been disturbed.
Supplemental Policy
This site is located within the Haynes Trinity Small Area Plan area of the Bordeaux-Whites Creek-Haynes Trinity
Community Plan area. The intent of the supplemental policy is to create and enhance neighborhoods with greater
housing choice, improved connectivity, and more creative, innovative, and environmentally sensitive development
techniques. The policy calls for an alley through the site.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS

-- 6 of 63 --

7
The 5.01 acre site is located on the north side of Buena Vista Pike, west of the Buena Vista Pike, and West Trinity
Lane intersection. The surrounding area consists of SP, R8, and R10 zoning, with uses consisting of single-family
and multi-family residential. Buena Vista Pike is classified as an Arterial Boulevard in the Major and Collector Street
Plan (MCSP).
Plan Details
The SP amendment proposes to remove the use of religious institution and increase the permitted multi-family units
from 23 to 55. The plan proposes to have units fronting Buena Vista Pike, with the remaining units oriented toward an
internal drive. Units are proposed to consist of a split height design of 3 and 4 stories, and 20 units include an
attached garage. For units with no garage there is surface parking provided. The plan proposes to have access on
Buena Vista Pike, with a cross access proposed to the east and west.
ANALYSIS
The site is located in multiple policy areas and a supplemental policy. The CO portion of the site is due to slopes
greater than 20% located throughout the site. While in new rezonings, these features are considered, the currently
approved SP would impact these areas in a similar amount as the proposed SP. There are some slopes to the north
that remain untouched, but a large portion would be disturbed. The supplemental policy on the site calls for an alley
to be located through the site; however, the network would not be feasible due to the current development pattern
approved to the west. Although an alley network is not provided, the connections to the east and west will be
beneficial for connectivity in this area.
With the T3NE and T4NE portions of the site, these policies call for increased density, increased connectivity, and
variety in housing type as compared to the surrounding area. The surrounding area includes both single-family and a
66-unit multi-family development to the west. With the proposal for increased density, increasing connectivity, and
additional housing types for the area, the proposed SP amendment is consistent with the T3NE and T4NE policies.

PIN HOOK RIDGE
Council District 33 (Antoinette Lee)
Staff Reviewer: Abbie Rickoff
A request to rezone from AR2a to SP-R zoning for property located at 3834 Pin Hook Road, approximately 390 feet
west of Lakewood Village Drive (10.2 acres), to permit 39 single family residential lots, requested by Ragan Smith,
applicant; Century Communities of Tennessee, LLC, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions and disapprove without all conditions.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Preliminary SP to permit 39 single-family lots.
Preliminary SP
A request to rezone from Agricultural/Residential (AR2a) to Specific Plan-Residential (SP) zoning for property located
at 3834 Pin Hook Road, approximately 390 feet west of Lakewood Village Drive, to permit 39 single family residential
lots (10.2 acres).
Existing Zoning
Agricultural/Residential (AR2a) requires a minimum lot size of two acres and intended for uses that generally occur in
rural areas, including single-family, two-family, and mobile homes at a density of one dwelling unit per two acres. The
AR2a District is intended to implement the natural conservation or rural land use policies of the general plan. AR2a
would permit a maximum of 5 lots with 1 duplex lot for a total of 6 units. Application of the Subdivision Regulations
may result in fewer units. Metro Codes would provide a final determination on duplex eligibility.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan-Residential (SP-R) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design, including
the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General Plan. This
Specific Plan includes only one residential building type.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS

-- 9 of 63 --

10
The 10.2-acre site is located on the north side of Pin Hook Road, west of Lavergne Couchville Pike. Pin Hook Road
is identified as a collector-avenue on the Major and Collector Street Plan (MCSP). The site is vacant and has
previously been graded. Many of the surrounding properties have previously been subdivided and contain single-
family residential lots, including adjacent properties to the east and west. There are also larger parcels scattered
throughout the area, including adjacent parcels to the north and south.
Site Plan
The plan proposes 39 single-family lots that are accessed from proposed public streets. The street network wraps a
large common open space proposed at the center of the site before stubbing to the northern boundary. Lot sizes
generally range from approximately 5,000 square feet to 6,000 square feet, with slightly larger lots located towards
the center.
Pedestrian access is provided from the public sidewalks proposed along the new streets. The sidewalks will wrap
onto to Pin Hook Road, which will be improved per the MCSP requirements. Approximately 2.99 acres are proposed
as open space, including stormwater management areas and landscape buffer yards proposed around the perimeter
of the site. The formal open space located at the center of the site is approximately 0.69 acres and is accessed via
the public sidewalks.
The buildings are proposed with maximum heights of 3 stories in 35 feet, as measured per the Metro Zoning
Ordinance. Architectural standards, including materials and glazing, are included in the plan. Conceptual
architectural renderings have also been incorporated into the preliminary SP.
ANTIOCH-PRIEST LAKE COMMUNITY PLAN
T3 Suburban Neighborhood Evolving (T3 NE) is intended to create and enhance suburban residential neighborhoods
with more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate density
development patterns with moderate setbacks and spacing between buildings. T3 NE policy may be applied either to
undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed areas where redevelopment and
infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and connectivity. Successful infill and
redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations such as timing and some
elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network, block structure, and proximity to centers
and corridors. T3 NE areas are developed with creative thinking in environmentally sensitive building and site
development techniques to balance the increased growth and density with its impact on area streams and rivers.
ANALYSIS
The SP is consistent with the T3 NE policy at this location. The site is located in between two adjacent subdivisions
that have developed with a similar development pattern that includes single-family residential lots accessed from
public streets. The proposed street network stubs to the northern property line, setting up the opportunity for future
connectivity to the existing street network to the east. The plan includes landscape buffers around the perimeter,
including along the shared boundaries with the adjacent subdivisions. Additional screening is also proposed behind
Lots 19 and 20, where the rear of the lots front the central open space, and between lots 3 and 4, where the rear
property line of Lot 4 is pulled forward at an angle, adjacent to the side of Lot 3.

A request to rezone from Single-Family Residential (RS10) to Specific Plan (SP) zoning on a portion of property
located at 3300 and 3344 Walton Lane and on properties located at 3302, 3304, 3306, 3308, 3312, Walton Lane and
Walton Lane (unnumbered), approximately 211 feet west of Slate Drive, (18.36 acres), to permit 217 residential units.
Existing Zoning
Single-Family Residential (RS10) requires a minimum of 10,000 square foot lot and is intended for single-family
dwellings at a density of 3.7 dwelling units per acre. RS10 would permit a maximum of 80 residential units.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan-Mixed Residential (SP-MR) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design,
including the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General
Plan. This Specific Plan includes a mixture of housing types.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS
The approximately 18-acre site is located near the northern end of Walton Lane approximately half a mile north of
Broadmoor Drive. Adjacent zoning includes RS10 and a commercial PUD, zoned CS abuts the western site
boundary. Surrounding uses include single single-family, a church and vacant commercial land. The terrain on the
site various and Metro records does not indicate any large areas with steep slopes. A stream bisects the property
and runs northeast to southwest. The site includes some areas of open field and dense tree canopy.
Site Plan
The site plan includes a total of 217 residential units with a density of approximately 12 units per acre. Units include
a mixture of attached and detached units and flats. The plan specifies the following unit types and count:
• Townhomes: 22
• Carriage Homes: 150
• Flats: 45
Townhomes and carriage homes front onto private streets and or open space. Elevations are not provided, but the
SP includes design standards pertaining to entry ways, glazing, materials, foundations, and porches. As proposed,
the plan includes the following height standards:
• Townhomes: 3 stories in 45’
• Carriage Homes: 3 stories in 45’
• Flats: 4 stories in 60’
Access into the site is from two points from Walton Lane. All drives are private. Parking includes a mixture of surface
and garage spaces. An internal sidewalk network is provided, and a new public sidewalk is provided along Walton
Lane. Landscaping and tree density are per Metro Zoning requirements. Buffer yards are provided and specified on
the plan.
The stream that bisects the site is located within Stormwater buffers and should be left undisturbed with the exception
of two stream crossings for private drives and pedestrian paths.
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving (T4 NE) is intended to create and enhance urban residential neighborhoods that
provide more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate to high density
development patterns with shallow setbacks and minimal spacing between buildings. T4 NE areas are served by high
levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and existing or planned mass transit. T4 NE
policy may be applied either to undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed
areas where redevelopment and infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and
connectivity. Successful infill and redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations
such as timing and some elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network and block
structure and proximity to centers and corridors.
T4 Urban Community Center (T4 CC) is intended to maintain, enhance and create urban community centers that
contain commercial, mixed use, and institutional land uses, with residential land uses in mixed use buildings or
serving as a transition to adjoining Community Character Policies. T4 Urban Community Centers serve urban
communities generally within a 5 minute drive or a 5 to 10 minute walk. T4 CC areas are pedestrian friendly areas,
generally located at intersections of prominent urban streets. Infrastructure and transportation networks may be
enhanced to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular connectivity.
Conservation (CO) is intended to preserve environmentally sensitive land features through protection and
remediation. CO policy applies in all Transect Categories except T1 Natural, T5 Center, and T6 Downtown. CO policy

-- 13 of 63 --

14
identifies land with sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, floodway/floodplains,
rare or special plant or animal habitats, wetlands and unstable or problem soils. The guidance for preserving or
enhancing these features varies with what Transect they are in and whether or not they have already been disturbed.
ANALYSIS
As proposed, staff finds that the plan is consistent with the T4 NE and T4 CC land use policies that apply to the site.
The plan provides for a mixture of housing types. Attached and detached townhomes are located in the T4 NE policy
area while the flats are located in the T4 CC area. The plan provides ample open space with many units fronting onto
the open space areas providing for immediate outdoor recreational opportunities. The plan also preserves the stream
and utilizes it as an asset. The plan allows for walkability through an internal sidewalk network whichk network
connects to the new public sidewalk proposed along Walton Lane and the project will extend the public sidewalk
down Walton Lane to an existing sidewalk that extends to Maplewood High School and further to Broadmoor Drive.
Staff considered a new public street connection to the west; however, the adjacent parcel is in a commercial Planned
Unit Development (PUD) and the connection would require an amendment to the PUD which likely may not happen.
The topography on the adjacent parcel would also make a public road connection difficult. Stream buffers associated
with the CO policy are located within buffer yards as required by Metro Stormwater. Limited disturbance of these
areas is permitted.
It is important to note that the Fire Marshal has recommend approval with conditions. The current plan does not meet
Fire Code requirements for access. The Fire Marshal’s condition requires any final site plan to provide access per
Fire Code requirements. The applicant has indicated that the project will obtain additional access to meet Fire Code
requirements through the adjacent church property. At this time, the church has not agreed to allow access but has
indicated that it is under consideration. While the SP is for 217 residential units, the outcome of not providing
adequate access could be a significant reduction in density.

Specific Plan – Residential (SP-R) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design,
including the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General
Plan. This plan includes one unit type, detached townhomes.
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Maintenance (T4 NM) is intended to maintain the general character of existing urban
residential neighborhoods. T4 NM areas will experience some change over time, primarily when buildings are
expanded or replaced. When this occurs, efforts should be made to retain the existing character of the neighborhood.
T4 NM areas are served by high levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and
existing or planned mass transit. Enhancements may be made to improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
connectivity.
T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving (T4 NE) is intended to create and enhance urban residential neighborhoods that
provide more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate to high density
development patterns with shallow setbacks and minimal spacing between buildings. T4 NE areas are served by high
levels of connectivity with
complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and existing or planned mass transit. T4 NE policy may be applied
either to undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed areas where
redevelopment and infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and connectivity.
Successful infill and redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations such as
timing and some elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network and block structure and
proximity to centers and corridors.
Supplemental Policy
The site is located within the Highland Heights Small Area Plan. The Highland Heights Plan was completed after an
extensive community engagement process and resulted in updates to the community character policies for the area,
as well as establishment of a supplementary Building Regulating Plan and Mobility Plan for the area. The Building
Regulating Plan established subdistricts to provide specific guidance on the type of development for each subdistrict.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS
The 4.67 acre site is located on the north side of south side of Edwin Street, east of the intersection of Jones Avenue
and Edwin Street. The site is comprised of five contiguous parcels, all developed with single-family residential
structures. The surrounding properties are zoned RS5, SP, Industrial Warehousing/Distribution (IWD), and multi-
family residential (RM20). The land uses in the surrounding area are primarily residential.
The proposed SP would permit up to 49 detached residential structures. Two vehicular entrances are located at the
northeast and northwest corners of the site. Fifteen units are located between the two entrances, fronting Edwin
Street. Along the interior of the site, a private drive abuts the east, west, and south property lines. A private drive
bisects the site east-west to provide vehicular access to the rear of the units fronting Edwin Street. The remaining
units are located interior to the site, arranged around a common open space area. These units are also rear loaded,
with front entrances facing the open space. All units are limited to three stories and 45 feet in height. Five foot wide
sidewalks are located internal to the site, connecting the front units, rear units, and providing pedestrian access to
Edwin Street. Edwin Street is classified as a local street in the Major and Collector Street Plan (MCSP), with 8 foot
wide sidewalks and 4 foot wide planting strips. This is proposed with the site plan.
ANALYSIS
The site is located within the Urban Neighborhood Maintenance (T4 NM) and Urban Neighborhood Evolving (T4 NE)
policies and within the Highland Heights Small Area Plan. The Highland Heights Small Area Plan includes detailed
guidance on building form through subdistricts as well as mobility within the study area through a planned mobility
component of the plan. The westernmost parcel is within the T4 NM policy and the R3 subdistrict. The other four
parcels are within the T4 NE policy and the R4 subdistrict area.
The proposed plan is consistent with the goals of the T4 NM and T4 NE policy to create dense, residential
development. Building typologies supported in the R4 subdistrict range from detached single-family up to house court
and low rise townhomes, while the R3 subdistrict supports detached single-family structures up to plex or manor
house, in certain situations. The adjacent properties to the west front Jones Avenue. These properties have recently
redeveloped as single-family structures. The site is on this edge of the two policy areas. However, because of the
orientation of the units along Jones, and the westernmost parcel being a part of the larger SP site, it is a part of
creating a unified development front along Edwin Street. The proposed units are detached, which reflects the
preference in this area for the built form to reflect more of a one and two-family residential pattern as opposed to
large mixed-use or stacked flat buildings.
The mobility study included a planned alley connection that would run east-west through these parcels and diverge
south at the western property line. This would provide rear loaded access for properties fronting Jones, limit curb cuts

-- 17 of 63 --

18
along Edwin Street and provide for rear loaded access for future development along Edwin. While a public alley is not
provided with the plan, a proposed private drive is able to mimic a very similar function. The proposed plan includes
two curb cuts to consolidate access across the extensive frontage of the site. Given the existing development to the
east of the site at the eastern terminus of Edwin Street, a through alley to provide connectivity by public alleys within
this block is limited. In order to still address the policy for interconnectivity, the site plan has been updated to include
a shared access easement along the eastern drive and into the parcel to the east, 524 Edwin Street. This wouldn’t be
constructed until if in the future this adjacent property were to redevelop. Additionally, the proposed plan meets the
goals to enhance pedestrian connectivity with the inclusion of the Major and Collector Street Plan sidewalks.

PARTHENON AVE SP
Council District 21 (Brandon Taylor)
Staff Reviewer: Amelia Lewis
A request to rezone from RM20 to SP zoning for a portion of property located at 3138 and property at 3140
Parthenon Avenue, approximately 119 feet east of Oman Street (0.26 acres), to permit 10 multi-family residential
units, requested by Councilman Brandon Taylor, applicant; Metro Gov't P Park Board, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions and disapprove without all conditions.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Preliminary SP to permit 10 multi-family units
Zone Change
A request to rezone from Multi-family Residential (RM20) to Specific Plan (SP) zoning for a portion of property
located at 3138 and property at 3140 Parthenon Avenue, approximately 119 feet east of Oman Street (0.26 acres), to
permit 10 multi-family residential units.
Existing Zoning
Multi-Family Residential (RM20) is intended for single-family, duplex, and multi-family dwellings at a density of 20
dwelling units per acre. RM20 would permit a maximum of 5.2 units based on acreage alone.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan – Residential (SP-R) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design,
including the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General
Plan.
GREEN HILLS - MIDTOWN COMMUNITY PLAN
Open Space (OS) is intended to preserve and enhance existing open space in the T2 Rural, T3 Suburban, T4 Urban,
T5 Center, and T6 Downtown Transect areas. The OS Policy is intended to preserve and enhance existing open
space in the T2 Rural, T3 Suburban, T4 Urban, T5 Center, and T6 Downtown Transect areas. OS policy includes
public parks and may also include private land held in conservation easements by land trusts and private groups or
individuals.
Supplemental Policy
The site is within the Midtown supplemental policy which provides more detailed guidance for specific areas. The
supplemental policy, 10-MT-OS-01, is Centennial Park on West End Avenue. In this area, the following Special Policies
apply. Where the Special Policy is silent, the guidance of the T5 Center Open Space policy applies. Improvements to
Centennial Park are guided by the Centennial Park Master Plan.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS
The 0.26 acre site is located on the north side of Parthenon Avenue, east of the intersection of Oman Street and
Parthenon Avenue. The parcels are currently owned by Metro Parks and are undeveloped. To the northeast of the site

-- 20 of 63 --

21
is Centennial Park. The properties on the south side of Parthenon Avenue are zoned RM40 and have been primarily
developed with residential land uses.
There is an existing parcel, 3136 Parthenon Avenue, to the east of the subject site, currently owned by a private
property owner. The proposed parcels to be rezoned to SP, part of 3138 Parthenon Avenue and 3140 Parthenon
Avenue, are currently owned by Metro Parks. Metro Parks has been working with the property owner to facilitate a
land swap in order to have property immediately adjacent to the existing park boundaries. The acreage would be
equal with the existing parcel sizes, but ownership would be transferred between the two property owners.
The proposed SP would permit a maximum of 10 multi-family units. The development would be regulated by the
standards of the 31st Avenue and Long Boulevard Urban Design Overlay (UDO). The specific subdistrict would be G-
4, which includes building standards, required setbacks, height, glazing, massing, and material standards.
ANALYSIS
The proposed SP is consistent with the guidance in the supplemental policy as well as the goals of the Open Space
(OS) Policy. While the proposed SP would permit residential development, which is not consistent with the policy, it
would facilitate the land swap to allow for more park area to be added to the existing Centennial Park area. Without
this land swap, proposed development would interrupt the park area and Metro Parks would own property on either
side of the residential development.

Mr. Haynes asked if it was fair to assume that the city and Councilmember Taylor are the applicants or was there
another applicant in the room.
Ms. Milligan stated Councilmember Taylor was the applicant.
Mr. Tibbs asked if Metro Parks agreed to this land swap.
Ms. Milligan responded that Councilmember Taylor is the applicant and Metro Parks has been in discussion. She
asked Ms. Lewis to pull up the slide showing the policy. Ms. Milligan pointed out on the slide that the green areas are
owned by Metro Parks and the two insertions are privately owned, so the idea is to get all of the Metro Parks property
on either end and to get what is available for private development in the middle. Ms. Milligan confirmed that Metro
Parks has been part of this conversation.
Mr. Haynes advised this Item is on the Metro Parks Board agenda for the November meeting after the Commission
acts.
Jon Cooper, Waller Law Firm, 511 Union Street, Ste 2700, stated he was there representing the owner of the
property shown to the north that is directly next to the park. He spoke in favor of the application.
Charlie Phillips stated he is the owner of the property in discussion. He spoke in favor of the application.
Female, no name or address given, spoke in opposition to the application.
William Henry, 3180 Parthenon Avenue, spoke in opposition to the application.
Alex Hosch, 3163 Parthenon Avenue, spoke in opposition to the application.
Benjamin Brown, 3140 Parthenon Avenue, spoke in opposition to the application.
Chelsea Hanson, 3143 Parthenon Avenue, spoke in opposition to the application.
Mr. Haynes asked Ms. Milligan to clarify anything the neighbors’ asked relative to the size of the parcels and what the
landowner can do on the existing one parcel.
Ms. Milligan explained that regarding the size, the property that is currently owned, the northern most property, with
the RM20 label as shown on the slide, is .26 acres in size. The smallest of the two properties is .17 acres and the
part of the property is to get to the .26 acre size. The land that is proposed to be rezoned is .26 acres and the land
currently owned is .26 acres. It is a parcel and a part of a parcel because there wasn’t an exact parcel that was .26
acres, so that is why there is a parcel and a part included in the application. She said the property that is currently
zoned RM20 is permitted today to get a permit to build on the property without Planning Commission approval. They
could build five units and it would go to Codes to get a building permit to begin construction. The properties on the
south side of Parthenon Avenue are within an Urban Design Overlay and has some design standards that are not
present on the north side, on the two privately owned pieces that are interspersed within the park land and would not
have the same design standards if they were to build under the RM20 as are located across the street. Ms. Milligan
stated the zoning is different, RM40 on the south side and RM20 on the north side.
Mr. Haynes closed the Public Hearing.
Mr. Henley recognized those who came to speak in opposition and said he was well aware of the struggles with the
park system. He pointed out that Parks Department approached the applicant and facilitated this through
Councilmember Taylor. Mr. Henley said the Parks Department does not have ample resources to continue to make
acquisitions and has to be very litigious on how they utilize those resources and be creative in those ways to do what
they feel is best to enable or preserve the functionality and use of the parks. He thought it would be helpful to
articulate that there will be some elevated design requirements versus just going to Codes and pulling permits.
Ms. Milligan said Planning felt it was important to have the same level of design standards applied to this property as
have been applied to the south side of Parthenon Avenue. She explained the applicant likely would have potentially
just applied for RM40. She said the Councilmember wanted to restrict and not allow Short Term Rentals. Ms.
Milligan stated there was a bit of a trade off with a little bit more density but higher design standards; density that was
consistent with the south side of Parthenon Avenue but also consistent with the design standards on the south side.
She said this will be reviewed against the same standards that were reviewed, with this SP, across the street.

-- 23 of 63 --

24
Mr. Henley emphasized that development would ensue and Parks Department took the steps they felt able to and
appropriate to create a more cohesiveness on that street and corridor. He said Planning was taking the steps to
ensure a more beneficial design and final product and felt that understanding the present case is important as they
move forward.
Mr. Clifton stated he has seen the accelerated change in the area and does not blame the neighbors for their
concerns. He believed this would be better for the city and ultimately better than the only real option.
Mr. Haynes interrupted a male individual who continued to shout from the audience. He told the individual the public
hearing was closed and to be respectful of the Commissioners’ time to speak.
Mr. Tibbs thought it would be wonderful if the Parks Department could own all the property but since they do not, this
solution was the best they can do at this point. He said if left as is, the property owner has a right to build five units
and felt it would be better if this land swap could happen and it would have some contiguous back to it. Mr. Tibbs
asked what happens if Parks changed their minds.
Mr. Haynes said one of the conditions was the Parks Board has to approve this for it to be enacted.
Mr. Tibbs understood the community concerns but based on the ownership, felt this was the best way to go.
Councilmember Withers said it has been established there is a parcel that is developable and there would be five
housing units added versus the base zoning. He stated the project is not large enough to warrant a traffic impact
study and the staff analysis suggests the increase in traffic is not zero but is not overwhelming. Mr. Withers felt
having the park space more contiguous is better from a green standpoint and seems to be better from an
environmental and water management standpoint. He understands the neighbors’ concerns but the benefits of the
land swap that is proposed with a little more density but adding design guidelines and eliminated Short Term Rentals,
is a net positive for the community over what could happen in the existing entitlements.
Councilmember Allen stated it seems that Metro Parks had a long term plan having bought up all the land and hoped
when Parks takes it up that they talk about the Centennial Park master plan and how this part fits into it. She felt to
be consistent with the conversation they had on the last item, this is not consistent with the Open Space Policy. She
said in the last item, they felt like a compelling argument had been made in how the design that was proposed
improved or moved things closer to that policy and does not feel that case has been made here. Ms. Allen said what
is being proposed is an increase in density, which troubles her. From a planning standpoint, she is confused why the
land swap made five units not good enough anymore. She asked if it is zoned RM20 and they were going to build
five units, why are they now building ten units and does that give them a reason to do the end around on not being
consistent with the policies.
Ms. Blackshear asked Ms. Milligan to speak to policy.
Ms. Milligan explained Open Space Policy is to recognize existing Metro owned properties, which are parks, and
Civic Policy is to recognize Metro owned properties that may be something other than a park; for example, their office
complex is Civic Policy. She further explained that if there was a land swap, there would be a swap of the policy also,
because they would then have the northern most piece of property which is currently not an Open Space Policy, but if
it came under the ownership of Metro Parks, it would need to become Open Space Policy.
Ms. Blackshear asked if the increase in intensity was meant to incentivize the land swap or was it to stay consistent
with surrounding zoning.
Ms. Milligan responded that the SP, which includes the increase in design standards and prohibition of Short Term
Rentals, would not be present under the current zoning. She thought those were considerations Councilmember
Taylor, as the applicant, was taking into account and they reviewed it as applied.
Ms. Blackshear stated if they disapprove, the developer builds five units in the middle of Parks property which doesn’t
seem to be an ideal result. She said speaking to the neighbors’ concerns about storm water drainage and soil
degradation, thought it would occur if any type of development would happen and asked what addressing those
concerns look like from Metro’s perspective.

-- 24 of 63 --

25
Ms. Milligan responded that lot coverage permitted under RM20 would be similar to coverage permitted under RM40.
She explained the amount of building permitted under RM40 is very similar to the amount of building permitted under
RM20, it’s just the number of units that is placed within that bulk and mass. Under RM20, Metro Stormwater would
be flagged when a building permit came in and would review against the adopted Stormwater regulations which
requires there be no more water run off after development than before development. If it was an SP, it would be
reviewed at a different time and a final site plan is required, which is when the construction documents would come
in. The construction documents include those same standards and are reviewed against the Stormwater regulations,
and the standards are the same, no more run off after than before.
Councilmember Allen asked when the Park Board’s approval and a specific SP, including the UDO guidelines, get
added as an official part of this.
Ms. Milligan responded that those are included on page 62 of the staff report. She advised this is a regulatory plan
but includes a regulatory document that has those standards and that plan with the standards would be attached and
become part of the ordinance. Ms. Milligan said the Commission is making a recommendation to Council and any
sort of rezoning is ultimately a Council decision, but the plan is the regulatory document and includes those
standards. She stated a preliminary SP is setting up the entitlements, what would be permitted, such as the number
of units and standards that are followed. When a final site plan comes in, construction documents, including any sort
of stormwater plans, building elevations, building plans, would get reviewed against all of those standards.
Mr. Haynes felt long term, this is in the best interest of the park and city, even though it will cause short term angst for
the neighborhood.
Ms. Blackshear moved and Mr. Henley seconded the motion to approve with conditions and disapprove
without all conditions. (5-1-1) Ms. Allen voted against. Mr. Clifton abstained.

2830 Gallatin Pike SP
Council District 07 (Emily Benedict)
Staff Reviewer: Jason Swaggart
A request to rezone from MUL-A to SP zoning for property located at 2830 Gallatin Pike, at the southeast corner of
Gallatin Pike and Litton Avenue and located in the Gallatin Pike Urban Design Overlay(0.36 acres), to permit all uses
permitted by MUL-A and liquor sales, requested by Sherif Roufail, applicant; Anki Hanna & Walid, owners.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions and disapprove without all conditions.
APPLICANT REQUEST
SP to a permit all uses permitted by MUL-A and liquor sales.
Zone Change
A request to rezone from Mixed Use Limited-Alternative (MUL-A) to Specific Plan (SP) zoning for property located at
2830 Gallatin Pike, at the southeast corner of Gallatin Pike and Litton Avenue and located in the Gallatin Pike Urban
Design Overlay (0.36 acres), to all uses permitted by MUL-A and liquor sales.
Existing Zoning
Mixed Use Limited-Alternative (MUL-A) is intended for a moderate intensity mixture of residential, retail, restaurant,
and office uses and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement
and bulk standards.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan-Mixed Use is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design, including the
relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General Plan. This
Specific Plan includes residential uses in addition to office and/or commercial uses.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS
The approximately 0.36 acre site is located at the south east intersection of Gallatin Pike and Litton Avenue. The site
is currently developed and is classified as a strip shopping center. Adjacent zoning districts to the north, south and
west are zoned MUL-A. The adjacent zoning to the east is SP and is approved for multifamily residential.
Site Plan
This SP is a regulatory document and includes development and land use standards. The intent of the SP is to
maintain the existing MUL-A zoning development and use standards with the addition of liquor sales as a permitted
use. Any redevelopment of the site would have to meet the standards for the existing MUL-A zoning district. Any
redevelopment would also have to meet any applicable standards of the Gallatin Pike Urban Design Overlay (UDO).
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Community Center (T4 CC) is intended to maintain, enhance and create urban community centers that
contain commercial, mixed use, and institutional land uses, with residential land uses in mixed use buildings or
serving as a transition to adjoining Community Character Policies. T4 Urban Community Centers serve urban
communities generally within a 5 minute drive or a 5 to 10 minute walk. T4 CC areas are pedestrian friendly areas,
generally located at intersections of prominent urban streets. Infrastructure and transportation networks may be
enhanced to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular connectivity.
ANALYSIS
As proposed staff finds that this SP is consistent with the T4 CC land use policy. The intent of this SP is to allow for
the relocation of an existing liquor store to the neighboring property. While liquor stores are not permitted under the
existing MUL-A zoning district, these uses are found in T4 CC policy areas and are appropriate at the appropriate
location. Given the nature of Gallatin Pike, a liquor store at this location is supported by the T4 CC land use policy.
The SP maintains all development standards of the existing MUL-A zoning district which will ensure that any
redevelopment of the site will be consistent with the T4 CC land use policy.

1603 & 1605 HAMPTON STREET SP
Council District 02 (Kyonzté Toombs)
Staff Reviewer: Jason Swaggart
A request to rezone from CL to SP zoning on property located at 1603 and 1605 Hampton Street, at the corner of
Hampton Street and Avondale Circle, zoned CL (0.66 acres), to permit up to 60 multifamily residential units,
requested by Openworks, LLC, applicant; Sai Ram Krupa, LLC, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions and disapprove without all conditions.
APPLICANT REQUEST
SP to permit up to 60 multifamily units.
Zone Change
A request to rezone from Commercial Limited (CL) to Specific Plan (SP) zoning on property located at 1603 and 1605
Hampton Street, at the corner of Hampton Street and Avondale Circle, zoned CL (0.66 acres), to permit up to 60
multifamily residential units
Existing Zoning
Commercial Limited (CL) is intended for retail, consumer service, financial, restaurant, and office uses.
Proposed Zoning
Specific Plan-Residential (SP-R) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design, including
the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General Plan. This
Specific Plan includes only one residential building type.
SITE CONTEXT AND PLAN DETAILS
The approximately 0.66 acre site is located on the northeast corner of Hampton Street and Avondale Circle which is
approximately 122 feet west of Brick Church Pike. The site is developed with a hotel building and surface parking.
Surrounding zoning districts include RS7.5, CL and SP. Surrounding land uses include vacant commercial land,
parking lots and multi and single family residential.
Site Plan
The proposed SP is a regulatory document and includes development and land use standards. The intent of the SP
is to allow for the existing hotel rooms to be converted into studio/efficiency apartments. The SP limits the density to
60 residential units. The SP also allows for future expansion or redevelopment of the site. Any expansion or
redevelopment would have to meet all standards of RM40-A-NS and would be limited to a maximum of 60 units. The
SP does allow for minor changes to the site that would not trigger compliance with RM40-A-NS. The SP does not
permit owner-occupied or not owner-occupied short-term rentals.
BORDEAUX – WHITES CREEK – HAYNES TRINITY COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Maintenance (T4 NM) is intended to maintain the general character of existing urban
residential neighborhoods. T4 NM areas will experience some change over time, primarily when buildings are
expanded or replaced. When this occurs, efforts should be made to retain the existing character of the neighborhood.
T4 NM areas are served by high levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and
existing or planned mass transit. Enhancements may be made to improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
connectivity.
Supplemental Policy
This site is located within the Haynes Trinity Small Area Plan area of the Bordeaux-Whites Creek-Haynes Trinity
Community Plan area. The intent of the supplemental policy is to create and enhance neighborhoods with greater
housing choice, improved connectivity, and more creative, innovative, and environmentally sensitive development
techniques. The policy calls for improvement of the existing street, sidewalk, bikeway, and stormwater infrastructure
to T4 Urban Transect standards through new private-sector development.
ANALYSIS
As proposed, staff finds that this SP is consistent with the T4 NM land use policy and the Haynes Trinity Small Area
Plan. This SP permits the existing commercial building to be converted to multifamily and would also permit
redevelopment as multifamily. The existing commercial use is not consistent with the T4 NM policy and this SP will

-- 28 of 63 --

29
bring the use into compliance with the T4 NM policy. The SP provides a transition from the residential area to the
commercial area along Brick Church Pike and provides additional density to support commercial uses along Brick
Church Pike. This SP also includes standards to implement the Haynes Trinity special policy including the mobility
plan consistent with the policy.

Zone Change
A request to rezone from Single-Family Residential (RS10) to One and Two-Family Residential (R10) zoning for
property located at 515 E Trinity Lane, approximately 446 feet east of Jones Avenue (0.31 acres).
Existing Zoning
Single-Family Residential (RS10) requires a minimum of 10,000 square foot lot and is intended for single-family
dwellings at a density of 3.7 dwelling units per acre. RS10 would permit a maximum of one units, based on acreage
alone.
Proposed Zoning
One and Two-Family Residential (R10) requires a minimum 10,000 square foot lot and is intended for single -family
dwellings and duplexes at an overall density of 4.63 dwelling units per acre including 25 percent duplex lots. R10
would permit a maximum of one duplex lot for a maximum of two units. Metro Codes will determine duplex eligibility.
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Residential Corridor (T4 RC) is intended to maintain, enhance and create urban residential corridors. T4
RC areas are located along prominent arterial-boulevard or collector-avenue corridors that are served by multiple
modes of transportation and are designed and operated to enable safe, attractive and comfortable access and travel
for all users. T4 RC areas provide high access management and are served by moderately connected street
networks, sidewalks, and existing or planned mass transit.
SITE AND CONTEXT
The 0.31 acre site is located on the north side of E Trinity Lane. The site has been developed with a single-family
residential use. The adjacent properties along the north side of E Trinity Lane are zoned RS10, RM15-A-NS and OL.
The properties on the south side of E Trinity Lane are zoned RS5. The adjacent properties have primarily been
established with single-family residential uses. The property to the west was recently rezoned to RM15-A-NS. Some
non-residential properties are located at the corner of E Trinity Lane and Jones Avenue to the west.
ANALYSIS
The intent of the T4 RC policy is to maintain, enhance, and create urban residential corridors that support
predominantly residential land uses and are compatible with the general character of urban neighborhoods. E Trinity
Lane is classified by the Major and Collector Street Plan (MCSP) as an arterial-boulevard. The policy indicates
support for increased residential density along these major corridors due to their location and access to multiple
modes of transit. The proposed rezoning would permit a small increase in intensity that is proportional to the size of
the site. The proposed R10 district is consistent with the policy guidance to provide high density on smaller lots and a
more diverse mix of housing types.

Zone Change
A request to rezone from Specific Plan (SP) to Mixed Use Limited – Alternative (MUL-A) zoning for property located
at 6220 Nolensville Pike, approximately 395 feet southeast of Bienville Drive (3.23 acres), requested by Lenox Grove,
LLC, applicant and owner.
Existing Zoning
Specific Plan - Commercial (SP-C) is a zoning district category that provides for additional flexibility of design,
including the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to implement the specific details of the General
Plan. This Specific Plan permitted only medical and office uses.

-- 32 of 63 --

33
Proposed Zoning
Mixed Use Limited – Alternative (MUL-A) is intended for a moderate intensity mixture of residential, retail, restaurant,
and office uses and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement
and bulk standards.
SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Community Center (T4 CC) is intended to maintain, enhance and create urban community centers that
contain commercial, mixed use, and institutional land uses, with residential land uses in mixed use buildings or
serving as a transition to adjoining Community Character Policies. T4 Urban Community Centers serve urban
communities generally within a 5 minute drive or a 5 to 10 minute walk. T4 CC areas are pedestrian friendly areas,
generally located at intersections of prominent urban streets. Infrastructure and transportation networks may be
enhanced to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular connectivity.
SITE AND CONTEXT
The 3.23 acre site is located on the east side of Nolensville Pike, south of the intersection of Nolensville Pike and
Bienville Drive. The parcel is zoned SP, under 2015SP-080-001/BL2015-1258. The SP approved general office and
medical office uses. A final site plan for a 9,204 square foot medical office was approved in 2017.
The surrounding properties along Nolensville Pike are zoned Mixed-Use Limited (MUL), Agricultural/Residential
(AR2a), and Specific Plan (SP) zoning. These properties along the corridor have been established with multi-family
uses, single-family residential uses, and office and medical uses. The site across Nolensville Pike has been
developed with May Werthan Shayne Elementary and Henry Oliver Middle School.
ANALYSIS
The intent of the Urban Community Center (T4 CC) policy is to maintain, enhance, and create urban community
centers. These areas are envisioned as intense mixed use areas that provide a mix of uses and services to meet the
needs of the larger surrounding urban area. Examples of appropriate land uses in this policy include mixed-use,
commercial, office, and institutional. The existing zoning on the site limits the uses to medical and office uses
exclusively. The SP also included conditions for only one access point to Nolensville Pike, sidewalks to be
constructed per the MCSP, and a sidewalk from building entrances to sidewalks along Nolensville Pike. Given the
frontage of the site, additional access points would likely not be approved by Nashville Department of Transportation
(NDOT). The sidewalk was not constructed with the existing development on the site due to a Tennessee Department
of Transportation (TDOT) expansion of Nolensville Pike. Lastly, the Alternative (-A) standard requires prominent
building orientation and limited parking between the building and the street.
The requested MUL-A zoning district would permit a wider range of uses than the existing SP, allowing flexibility in
uses on the property. Staff is recommending the zoning district be amended to MUL-A-NS in order to prohibit short
term rentals. The suggested MUL-A-NS zoning district would still permit the inclusion of all the uses of MUL-A, with
the exception of STRPs, which includes many additional uses that are not currently permitted with the SP. The
opportunity to provide residential units near the existing non-residential uses is consistent with the intent of the T4 CC
policy to provide services to nearby residents.

EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving (T4 NE) is intended to create and enhance urban residential neighborhoods that
provide more housing choices, improved pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity, and moderate to high density
development patterns with shallow setbacks and minimal spacing between buildings. T4 NE areas are served by high
levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and existing or planned mass transit. T4 NE
policy may be applied either to undeveloped or substantially under-developed “greenfield” areas or to developed
areas where redevelopment and infill produce a different character that includes increased housing diversity and
connectivity. Successful infill and redevelopment in existing neighborhoods needs to take into account considerations
such as timing and some elements of the existing developed character, such as the street network and block
structure and proximity to centers and corridors.
Highland Heights Study Supplemental Policy
The site is within the Highland Heights Study Supplemental Policy which was approved and adopted by the Planning
Commission on June 14, 2018. The Highland Heights Study was completed after an extensive community
engagement process and resulted in updates to the community character policies for the area, as well as
establishment of a supplementary Building Regulating Plan and Mobility Plan for the area. The community character
policy for this site, T4 NE, did not change with adoption of the Highland Heights plan.
This site is within the R5 Subdistrict of the Building Regulating Plan, which is intended to create and enhance
neighborhoods with greater housing choice and improved connectivity by transitioning from Dickerson Pike’s higher
density mixed use development to the interior residential areas. The R5 Subdistrict supports a range of residential
uses, including two-family and multi-family residential, at varying intensities depending on the location, context and
infrastructure. The R5 Subdistrict also supports a variety of building forms, including house (2 units), detached
accessory dwelling unit, plex or manor house, house court, low rise townhouse, and courtyard flat, low-rise flat, or
mid-rise flat.
There is an unbuilt right-of-way associated with Alley #2015 to the rear of this property and other lots on the north
side of Eastmoreland Street and south side of Lucile Street, between Meridian Street and Dickerson Pike. The
Mobility Plan component of the Highland Heights Study, which was incorporated into the Major and Collector Street
Plan (MCSP), calls for this alley right-of-way to be constructed as a public alley with any new development or
redevelopment.
Dickerson South Corridor Study
This site is also within the Dickerson South Corridor Study (Study), which was adopted by the Planning Commission
on June 13, 2019, and February 27, 2020, after a participatory process with extensive community input. The Study
provides supplemental guidance for future development in the Dickerson Pike area by addressing land use,
transportation, and community design at the neighborhood scale while also supporting high-capacity transit
envisioned by NashvilleNext.
For properties within the Dickerson South Corridor Study area that are also located within the Highland Heights Study
Supplemental Policy, such as this site, guidance for future development defers to the Highland Heights Study
recommendations.
SITE AND CONTEXT
The 0.17-acre site is located on the north side of Eastmoreland Street, between Meridian Street and Dickerson Pike,
an arterial-boulevard designated on the Major and Collector Street Plan. The property contains an existing single-
family residential use. The development pattern along Eastmoreland Street is primarily single-family, with one two-
family use located east of the site on property that was rezoned to R6-A in 2017. The site is located directly across
the street from another R6-A-zoned property at the corner of Eastmoreland Street and Joseph Avenue, to the south.
The majority of the properties on the north side of the unbuilt alley, oriented towards Lucile Street, are also zoned
RS5, with the exception of a multi-family residential development located behind the subject site and a parcel to the
east of the multi-family development that was recently rezoned to R6-A. Commercial uses and parking are located
along Dickerson Pike, approximately 378 feet to the west.
ANALYSIS
The requested R6-A zoning is supported by the T4 NE policy and is appropriate for the R5 Subdistrict of the Highland
Heights Study at this site. The proposed zoning allows for one or two-family residential uses, which would increase
housing choice in the area. The standards for building placement, parking and access included in the R6-A district
would also improve the relationship of development to the street, creating a more walkable neighborhood consistent
with the goals of the T4 NE policy and R5 Subdistrict.
The Highland Heights Study envisioned that the R5 area would accommodate additional density in concert with the
installation of infrastructure, specifically at an integrated road and alley network. The Mobility Plan provides a
blueprint for this road and alley network and identifies unbuilt alley #2015 as part of the future network. The existing

-- 35 of 63 --

36
right-of-way associated with Alley #2015 is approximately 10 feet in width, where 20 feet is required to meet the
Public Works standard. The alley right-of-way does not extend all the way to Meridian Street on the east or Dickerson
Pike on the west, but instead turns north and south behind the properties fronting those two corridors.
The R6-A zoning district requires access to be taken from the alley if an improved alley exists, but construction of an
unbuilt alley is not a requirement of the zoning district. Additionally, for the alley to meet all Metro Public Works
standards and be acceptable for public maintenance, the alley would need to be designed, engineered and
constructed in a cohesive manner, rather than on a lot-by-lot basis. To ensure that the intent of the policy regarding
the alley is met, staff recommends a condition requiring that one-half of the additional alley right-of-way necessary to
meet Public Works standards be dedicated prior to building permit. The right-of-way dedication will ensure that the
alley can be constructed through this area in the future, as more lots along the block redevelop, implementing the
goals of the policy over time.
While the supplemental policy applicable to this site may support additional intensity, policy guidance also explains
that additional intensity is appropriate only in concert with construction of public infrastructure to support the
development. The requested R6-A district is on the lower end of the range of recommended zoning districts in this
area, which is appropriate given the lack of existing infrastructure needed to accommodate additional density. The
R6-A district represents a modest increase in intensity compared to surrounding parcels, consistent with the policy
goals to establish a framework of public infrastructure that would accommodate the increased capacity of higher
intensity residential development and coordinated growth over time.

Staff Recommendation: Approve.
APPLICANT REQUEST

Zone Change
A request to rezone from One and Two-Family Residential (R8) to Multi-Family Residential-Alternative-No STRP
(RM9-A-NS) zoning for property located at 2721 Whites Creek Pike, approximately 400 feet south of Revels Drive
(3.75 acres).
Existing Zoning
One and Two-Family Residential (R8) requires a minimum 8,000 square foot lot and is intended for single-family
dwellings and duplexes at an overall density of 5.79 dwelling units per acre including 25 percent duplex lots. R8
would permit a maximum of 17 lots with 4 duplex lots for a total of 21 units. Application of Metro’s Subdivision
Regulations may result in fewer units at this site. Final determinations on duplex eligibility are provided by Codes.
Proposed Zoning
Multi-Family Residential-Alternative-No STRP (RM9-A-NS) is intended for single-family, duplex, and multi-family
dwellings at a density of nine dwelling units per acre and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the
use of appropriate building placement and bulk standards. The -NS designation prohibits Short Term Rental Property
– Owner Occupied and Short Term Rental Property - Not-Owner Occupied uses from the district. RM9-A-NS would
permit a maximum of 34 units.
BORDEAUX-WHITES CREEK-HAYNES TRINITY COMMUNITY PLAN
T3 Suburban Neighborhood Center (T3 NC) is intended to enhance and create suburban neighborhood centers that
serve suburban neighborhoods generally within a 5 minute drive. They are pedestrian friendly areas, generally
located at intersections of suburban streets that contain commercial, mixed use, residential, and institutional land
uses. T3 NC areas are served with well-connected street networks, sidewalks, and mass transit leading to
surrounding neighborhoods and open space. Infrastructure and transportation networks may be enhanced to improve
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular connectivity.
Conservation (CO) is intended to preserve environmentally sensitive land features through protection and
remediation. CO policy applies in all Transect Categories except T1 Natural, T5 Center, and T6 Downtown. CO policy
identifies land with sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, floodway/floodplains,
rare or special plant or animal habitats, wetlands, and unstable or problem soils. The guidance for preserving or
enhancing these features varies with what Transect they are in and whether or not they have already been disturbed.
Conservation (CO) policy is applied along a portion of the western and southeastern areas, recognizing a potential
stream and stream buffer area.
Supplemental Policy
This site is located within the Haynes Trinity Small Area Plan area of the Bordeaux-Whites
Creek-Haynes Trinity Community Plan area. The intent of the supplemental policy is to create
and enhance neighborhoods with greater housing choice, improved connectivity, and more
creative, innovative, and environmentally sensitive development techniques.
SITE AND CONTEXT

-- 37 of 63 --

38
The 3.75-acre site is located on the east side of Whites Creek Pike, south of Revels Drive. Whites Creek Pike is
identified as an arterial-boulevard on the Major and Collector Street Plan (MCSP). Revels Drive is classified a local
street west of Whites Creek Pike, transitioning to a collector street east of Whites Creek Pike and proposed to
continue further east. The site is currently developed with a single-family residential use. Surrounding properties near
the intersection of Whites Creek Pike and Revels Drive have developed with a mix of uses, including a residential
subdivision to the east, a multi-family residential development to the south, and commercial uses located across from
the site, on the west side of Whites Creek Pike.
ANALYSIS
The requested RM9-A-NS zoning is supported by the T3 NC policy and represents a modest increase in intensity,
which is appropriate based on the context of this site. The proposed zoning district reflects a transition between the
nonresidential uses that have developed on the west side of Whites Creek Pike, within the T3 NC policy area, and the
adjacent residential uses located to the south and east, within the T3 Neighborhood Evolving and T3 Neighborhood
Maintenance policy areas. The standards for building placement, parking and access included in the RM9-A-NS
district would also improve the relationship of development to the street, enhancing a suburban neighborhood that is
meant to evolve into a neighborhood-scale center. The -NS designation prohibits STRPs from the district, which
would be in keeping with the residential character established in the adjacent subdivision to the east. The RM9-A-NS
zoning district would permit multi-family development at a level of intensity that is in keeping with the goals of the
policy.

A request to rezone from R6 to MUL-A zoning for a portion of property located at 1019 Thomas Avenue,
approximately 200 feet west of Gallatin Pike (approximately 0.06 of 0.35 total acres), requested by Smith Gee Studio,
applicant; J.D.P. Properties, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Disapprove.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Zone change from R6 to MUL-A.
Zone Change
A request to rezone from One and Two-Family Residential (R6) to Mixed Use Limited-Alternative (MUL-A) zoning for
a portion of property located at 1019 Thomas Avenue, approximately 200 feet west of Gallatin Pike (approximately
0.06 of 0.35 total acres).
Existing Zoning
One and Two-Family Residential (R6) requires a minimum 6,000 square foot lot and is intended for single-family
dwellings and duplexes at an overall density of 7.71 dwelling units per acre including 25 percent duplex lots. The
portion of property included in this rezone request (0.06 of 0.35 total acres) would not meet the minimum lot size
requirement for residential development in the R6 zoning district. The remainder of the property that is not included in
this rezone request (0.29 acres) would permit a maximum of two lots, based on the acreage only. Application of
Metro’s Subdivision Regulations may result in fewer units at this site. Final determinations on duplex eligibility are
provided by Codes.
Proposed Zoning
Mixed Use Limited-Alternative (MUL-A) is intended for a moderate intensity mixture of residential, retail, restaurant,
and office uses and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement
and bulk standards.
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Neighborhood Maintenance (T4 NM) is intended to maintain the general character of existing urban
residential neighborhoods. T4 NM areas will experience some change over time, primarily when buildings are
expanded or replaced. When this occurs, efforts should be made to retain the existing character of the neighborhood.
T4 NM areas are served by high levels of connectivity with complete street networks, sidewalks, bikeways and
existing or planned mass transit. Enhancements may be made to improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
connectivity.
SITE AND CONTEXT
The vacant site includes 0.35 total acres and is located on the north side of Thomas Avenue, west of Gallatin Pike.
The portion of property included in this rezone request consists of approximately 0.06 acres, located at the northeast
corner of the property. The remainder of the property, approximately 0.29 acres, is not proposed to be rezoned and
would retain the existing R6 zoning that is currently in place.
The site is located at the eastern edge of residential uses that have developed on both sides of Thomas Avenue,
characterized by single-family and two-family residential properties. The existing residential character present along
Thomas Avenue is similar to the character of surrounding residential streets located to the north and south, west of
Gallatin pike, interior to the neighborhood. This site is located directly west of adjacent properties which front onto
Gallatin Pike, where nonresidential uses line both sides of the corridor. One of the adjacent properties is located at
the corner of Thomas Avenue and Gallatin Pike, where the existing commercial development wraps the street corner
but is oriented towards the corridor. An unimproved parking lot spans the area behind the building, adjacent to this
property.
ANALYSIS
This site is located on the eastern edge of a T4 NM policy area, where surrounding properties have developed with
residential uses characterized by moderate to high-density development patterns expected by urban neighborhoods.
The property is located on the seam of an established T4 NM policy area present along Thomas Avenue and
surrounding residential streets, and a higher intensity policy area, T4 CC, Urban Community Center, present to the
east along Gallatin Pike, where properties have previously developed with commercial uses in the MUL-A zoning
district. The T4 CC policy area supports mixed use development along prominent streets and corridors, where the
intended development character is meant to be more intense to meet the needs of surrounding neighborhoods.

-- 39 of 63 --

40
The portion of this site proposed for MUL-A zoning is located at the northeast corner of an R6-zoned property in the
T4 NM policy area, behind properties that have developed with nonresidential uses fronting the corridor in the T4 CC
policy area. The dividing policy line is intended to separate nonresidential uses present along Gallatin Pike from the
interior residential neighborhood. While the MUL-A rezone request includes a small area of the overall property,
located nearest the northeast corner adjacent to the existing MUL-A zoning boundary, staff does not find application
of MUL-A zoning to be in keeping with the intent of the T4 NM policy area, where nonresidential zoning districts are
not supported. The T4 NM policy supports a range of residential zoning districts at varying intensities, depending on
the context, but is intended for residential uses only.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends disapproval.
Ms. Rickoff presented the staff recommendation to disapprove.
Scott Morton, Smith Gee Studio, 1005 North 14th Street, spoke in favor of the application.
Lane Weber, 923 Thomas Avenue, spoke in opposition to the application.
Mr. Haynes closed the Public Hearing.
Ms. Blackshear stated they see cases where there is a zoning request where the underlying policy is in conflict and
sometimes that is addressed by a policy change for the portion of effected land. She asked if that was discussed.
Ms. Milligan thought they had discussions internally but given the depths that were already existing for the policy,
staff did not push in that direction. She said in considering what is going on along the corridors like that, they try not
to let things creep too far into the neighborhood regarding policy or zoning. Ms. Milligan advised they have not
applied for a policy amendment.

-- 40 of 63 --

41
Ms. Blackshear asked if this would be something that could be looked upon favorably by staff if it was presented like
an SP.
Ms. Milligan said it will not. She explained that just the use of parking for commercial uses is not supported in
residential zoning districts which are the only districts that would be supported by a Neighborhood Maintenance
Policy. She stated they would still see that rezoning as being inconsistent with the goals of the Neighborhood
Maintenance Policy.
Ms. Blackshear thought it was an interesting point the applicant raised about trying to bring part of the existing
commercial use property in conformance by moving the parking to the rear. She said it sounded like just because the
residential policy was in place, there was no room from staff’s perspective to allow that commercial use on that
portion of the property.
Ms. Milligan said they encourage parking, when provided and required, to be located in the rear. She noted on
Gallatin Pike, parking would not be required in this location per the zoning code.
Ms. Blackshear stated it is their purview as a Planning body to follow policy. She thought the applicant’s presentation
was persuasive about the practical effects of this little portion of land being allowed to be rezoned MUL-A. Ms.
Blackshear said she understood the neighbor’s concerns. She supported staff recommendation but thought the
applicant made a compelling case for why this would be appropriate for the area.
Councilmember Allen asked the applicant if this was the only configuration possible and would it require the lot be
covered by the building as opposed to putting the parking on the rest of the lot.
Mr. Morton stated the lot width is approximately 40 feet wide and they looked at bending the parking into the site in a
90 degree position; however, there is not enough width to meet a full parking requirement and landscape buffer on
the north. He stressed it physically would not work in that configuration which led them to the design solution that has
been presented.
Councilmember Allen echoed Ms. Blackshear in what they do is compare things to policy and wondered if the
consideration might be to come back and request to change the policy.
Councilmember Withers said it has been a struggle to make Gallatin Pike a walkable, pleasant, safe environment on
a number of levels, for at least 20 years, and has had a number of challenges. He felt this plan addresses those
challenges very well and presents a good plan and accesses an existing access easement in a way that is
appropriate. He said this proposal meets the overall East Nashville Community Plan better than some of the existing
options and that he is in support of this plan.
Mr. Clifton said it was compelling enough for him to support it.
Mr. Henley stated when he saw this in his packet, he had to go see it because it is a very unique little sliver of
property asking for rezoning. After doing that, he understood it and agreed with the sentiment of his fellow Board
members. He said what first came to mind was why this was not at Board of Zoning Appeals requesting some
augmentations to the buffer. He felt in the sense of creativity and responsibility, it is addressing that on property
owned by the applicant versus encroachment of property owners next to it. He thought one of the greatest things
they can do for the city is to start to eliminate some of the shallow small parking lots as they are extremely
dangerous. Mr. Henley said he loves the scale of this project. He thought this is a strong solution that is completely
contained by the owner and applicant and is inclined to support it.
Mr. Tibbs stated this would not meet the minimum of lot size requirement for residential development anyway and it
makes the R6 a little easier to develop without having a little dog leg and makes the proposed mixed use building
more compliant. He thought the whole solution was better than trying to keep it R6.
Ms. Blackshear asked if the housekeeping amendment would be to change the underlying policy.
Ms. Milligan answered that it would be for that portion.
Ms. Blackshear said that was the issue for her, as the policy would be incongruent with the land use, and so with that,
she would be in favor.
Mr. Tibbs moved and Ms. Blackshear seconded the motion to approve and direct staff to prepare a
housekeeping amendment to update the policy consistent with the policy along Gallatin Pike. (7-0)

A.O.G., CH., INC., Joywood Bridge of Hope Asmbly of God, owners.
Staff Recommendation: Approve.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Zone change from OL to RM20-A-NS.
Zone Change
A request to rezone from Office Limited (OL) and Single-Family Residential (RS10) to Multi-Family Residential-
Alternative-No Short Term Rental (RM20-A-NS) zoning for properties located at 525, 527, 529 and 531 E Trinity
Lane, approximately 455 feet west of Oakwood Avenue (1.48 acres).
Existing Zoning
Office Limited (OL) is intended for moderate intensity office uses.
Single-Family Residential (RS10) requires a minimum of 10,000 square foot lot and is intended for single-family
dwellings at a density of 3.7 dwelling units per acre. RS10 would permit a maximum of 2 units.
Proposed Zoning
Multi-Family Residential-Alternative-No Short Term Rental (RM20-A-NS) is intended for single-family, duplex, and
multi-family dwellings at a density of 20 dwelling units per acre and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods
through the use of appropriate building placement and bulk standards. RM20-A-NS would permit a maximum of 30
units based on acreage alone. Short term rental properties are prohibited.
EAST NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN
T4 Urban Residential Corridor (T4 RC) is intended to maintain, enhance and create urban residential corridors. T4
RC areas are located along prominent arterial-boulevard or collector-avenue corridors that are served by multiple
modes of transportation and are designed and operated to enable safe, attractive and comfortable access and travel
for all users. T4 RC areas provide high access management and are served by moderately connected street
networks, sidewalks, and existing or planned mass transit.
ANALYSIS
The application consists of four parcels (Map 071-08, Parcels 248-251) totaling 1.48 acres in size, located on the
north side of East Trinity Lane, approximately 150 feet west of the intersection with Edwin Street. The property
currently contains a church, a parsonage, and two single-family homes. Surrounding uses include a medical office
building zoned OL and single-family homes zoned RS10. Across East Trinity are single-family homes zoned RS5.
The application proposes to rezone the property from OL and RS10 to RM20–A–NS. The application initially
requested RM40 zoning but was amended based on the surrounding context—a reduction in density of 29 units (59
units being allowable under RM40 and 30 allowable under RM20). Rezonings to RM20 have taken place at corners,
but mid-block densities have generally seen fewer such rezonings per the policy, with RM15 being the usual district
targeted. RM20 mid-block would be greater intensity than normally found at such locations but would still be
compatible with the context and vision set by policy. The property is within the T4 Urban Residential Corridor (T4 RC)
policy area. T4 RC corridors are intended to develop or redevelop over time to include higher density housing types.
The result should be a variety of residential buildings framing corridors with shallow setbacks and minimal spacing
between buildings.
The CCM lists RM20–A, which would permit up to 20 units per acre, as an appropriate zoning under T4 RC policy.
RM20–A–NS would support the T4 RC policy intent to a greater degree than the current OL and RS10 zonings. Good
urban design is ensured through the Alternative district guidelines being sought.
The rezoning request is further supported by the fact that this property is within the transition area between the
second-tier centers at the intersection of East Trinity Lane with both Dickerson Pike and Ellington Parkway as

identified in NashvilleNext. Allowing more density at this location will channel density toward centers and multi-modal
corridors in accordance with the guidance of the General Plan. For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the
rezoning.

DONELSON - HERMITAGE - OLD HICKORY COMMUNITY PLAN
D Employment Center (D EC) is intended to enhance and create concentrations of employment that are often in a
campus-like setting. A mixture of office and commercial uses are present, but are not necessarily vertically mixed.
Light industrial uses may also be present in appropriate locations with careful attention paid to building form, site
design, and operational performance standards to ensure compatibility with other uses in and adjacent to the D EC
area. Secondary and supportive uses such as convenience retail, restaurants, and services for the employees and
medium- to high-density residential are also present.
SITE AND CONTEXT
The approximately 2.62 acre site is located on the western side of Atrium Way, a local street. The site is adjacent to
Briley Parkway and is North of Elm Hill Pike. The subject site contains a hotel building with surface parking. The
surrounding area contains office use, other hotel use, and a theatre/auditorium use. Single-Family residential uses
are located to the east of Atrium Way, although these uses are separated in this area from Atrium Way by a stream
and heavy landscaping.
ANALYSIS
Staff finds the proposed MUL zoning district to be consistent with the guidance provided in the Community Character
Manual for the D EC policy. While the policy describes that D EC areas will primarily contain concentrations of
employment that are often in a campus-like setting, daily convenience retail, restaurants, and services for the
employees and medium to high-density residential are identified as appropriate secondary and supportive uses within
the district. In general, secondary and supportive uses, such as retail and restaurants, typically make up about a quarter
of the land in a developed D EC area in order to protect its primary function of providing intense concentrations of jobs.
The proposed mixed-use zoning would be the first instance of this type of zoning in this area of D EC policy. Therefore,
Staff recommends approval of the MUL-NS zoning district as it supports the secondary uses described in the D EC
policy of the Community Character manual.

METRO SCHOOL BOARD REPORT
Given the mix of uses permitted, the number of residential units ultimately built on site may vary and an assumption
as to impact at this point is premature. Students would attend McGavock Elementary School, Two Rivers Middle
School, and McGavock High School. All three schools have been identified as having additional capacity. This
information is based upon the 2020-2021 MNPS School Enrollment and Utilization report provided by Metro Schools.

MURFREESBORO PIKE UDO (TENNESSEE LICENSE BUREAU)
Council District 32 (Joy Styles)
Staff Reviewer: Hazel Ventura
A request for modification to an Urban Design Overlay District at property located at 2460 Morris Gentry Boulevard;
approximately 195 feet southwest of the corner of Morris Gentry Boulevard and Murfreesboro Pike, zoned CS (2.18
acres), modify the front yard setback and minimum façade width requirements, requested by M2 Group, LLC,
applicant; 2013-B Pedigo Trust, The, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Approve minor modification of façade width along Morris Gentry Boulevard and a
major modification to the front yard setback from Morris Gentry Boulevard with conditions and defer without
all conditions.
APPLICANT REQUEST
A request for a minor modification to the required façade width along Morris Gentry Boulevard, and a major
modification to the front yard setback from Morris Gentry Boulevard.
UDO Modifications
A request for final site plan approval for property located at 2460 Morris Gentry Boulevard, west of the corner of
Murfreesboro Pike and Morris Gentry Boulevard, zoned CS and located within the Murfreesboro Pike Urban Design
Overlay District (2.18 acres), to permit commercial use.
EXISTING ZONING
Commercial Service (CS) is the underlying base zoning and is intended to provide opportunities for a diverse range of
commercial uses that include retail trade and consumer services, automobile sales and repair, small scale custom
assembly, restaurants, entertainment and amusement establishments, financial, consulting, and administrative
services.
Murfreesboro Pike Urban Design Overlay (UDO) is an overlay intended to foster suburban development that is
pedestrian friendly while enhancing its context with new buildings and spaces that are developed along Murfreesboro
Pike.

-- 45 of 63 --

PLAN DETAILS
The office building is proposed on a site surrounded by commercial services on the north, west, and east. Morris
Gentry Boulevard, the only street that the property fronts, encloses the site to the south. The site is situated
approximately 162 feet due west from the intersection of Murfreesboro Pike and Morris Gentry Boulevard. The site is
surrounded by a gas station, a fast-food restaurant, and a self-storage center along Murfreesboro Pike, and a martial
arts school to the west of the site. The proposed building is approximately 8,610 square feet.
MODIFICATION REQUEST DETAILS
The proposal is requesting two modifications – a minor modification and a major modification. The minor
modifications are deviations of 20 percent or less and may be approved by the Planning Commission’s designee.
Major modifications – deviations of over 20 percent or more – must be approved by the Planning Commission.
1) UDO Requirement: A requests a minimum of 45% of the lot frontage must be occupied by a building. The total
length of the building frontage is 221 feet wide, so the required façade length is 99.45 feet.
Minor Modification Request: The proposed façade length is 71.83 feet, a 12% reduction from the required façade
length.
2) UDO Requirement: The required front yard setback on the primary street, Morris Gentry Boulevard, for commercial
use shall be within 0-80 feet.
Major Modification Request: The proposed setback is 126 feet, a deviation of 39% of the required setback range.
ANALYSIS
1) Façade Width Along Morris Gentry Boulevard
The intent of the UDO’s façade width requirement is to frame the street with buildings and activity at a setback that is
suburban in nature. The requirement is intended to give passersby an opportunity to engage with the street and the
building. The site’s shape is narrow, having more length, 454 feet, than width, 221 feet. The proposed building’s
façade width is 71.83 feet, which is a 12% reduction from the required façade length. The proposed design places the
building’s longer façade, 125 feet, parallel to the site’s length. The applicant anticipates future expansion, and the
prosed orientation allows greater flexibility for expansion. If the building is rotated 90 degrees to meet the
requirement, the applicant would be limited in expanding for future demand.
2) Front Yard Setback Requirement along Morris Gentry Boulevard
The intent of the front yard setback requirement along a primary street frontage, in this instance Morris Gentry
Boulevard, is to ensure people engage and may access a building and its services directly. The site’s topography,
specifically it’s shallow bedrock and the required location of the stormwater management, contribute to the building
being set back beyond the required range of 0-80 feet.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Due to the configuration of the subject property and required stormwater design, staff recommends approval of the
minor modification of the façade width requirement, and the major modification of the front yard setback requirement
along Morris Gentry Boulevard for the Murfreesboro Pike Urban Design Overlay.
CONDITIONS
1. Approval of the major modification is specific to these plans. If site layout, building design, etc. change prior to
building permits, and the major modification remains necessary, the major modification may need to be reconsidered
by the Metro Planning Commission.
2. Right-of-Way dedication shall be recorded prior to a building permit approval.
Approve minor modification of façade width along Morris Gentry Boulevard and a major modification to the
front yard setback from Gentry Boulevard with conditions. (7-0)

APPLICABLE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Volume III of NashvilleNext, the General Plan for Nashville and Davidson County, contains the Community Character
Manual (CCM) which establishes land use policies for all properties across the county. he land use policies
established in CCM are based on a planning tool called the Transect, which describes a range of development
patterns from most to least developed.

-- 47 of 63 --

Prior versions of Subdivision Regulations for Nashville and Davidson County contained a uniform set of standards
that were applied Metro-wide. This did not take into account the diverse character that exists across the County. In
order to achieve harmonious development within the diversity of development patterns that exist in Nashville and
Davidson County, the Planning Commission has adopted the current Subdivision Regulations. The Subdivision
Regulations incorporate the General Plan policies by including rules or standards for each specific transect. This
allows policies of the General Plan to be followed through application of the varying Subdivision Regulations to reflect
the unique characteristics found in the different transects. The site is within the Suburban Neighborhood Evolving (T3
NE) policy. For T3 NE, the conventional regulations found in Chapter 3 are utilized.
3-1 General Requirements
This subdivision is required to meet on standards of Chapter 3. Staff finds that all standards are met.
3-2 Monument Requirements
Complies. Monuments will be set after plat approval.
3-3 Suitability of the Land
Staff finds that the land is suitable for development consistent with this section.
3-4 Lot Requirements
All lots comply with the minimum standards of the zoning code. Any development proposed on the resulting lots will
be required to meet the bulk standards and all other applicable regulations of R15 zoning at the time of building
permit.
3-5 Infill Subdivisions
In order to ensure compatibility with the General Plan, the Commission has adopted specific regulations applicable to
infill subdivisions, defined as residential lots resulting from a proposed subdivision within the R, R-A, RS, and RS-A
zoning districts on an existing street. If a proposed infill subdivision meets all of the adopted applicable regulations,
then the subdivision is found to be harmonious and compatible with the goals of the General Plan. An exception to
the compatibility criteria may be granted by the Planning Commission for a SP, UDO or cluster lot subdivision by
approval of the rezoning or concept plan.
3-5.3 Criteria for Determining Compatibility for policy areas designated in the General Plan as Neighborhood Evolving
and/or Special Policies, except within Designated Historic Districts:
a. All minimum standards of the zoning code are met.
Complies. All lots meet the minimum standards of the zoning code.
b. Each lot has street frontage or meets the requirements of Section 3-4.2.b for fronting onto an open space or meets
the requirements of Sections 4-6.3 or 5-3.1 fronting onto an open space.
Complies. All eight lots front Charlotte Pike, an existing public street.
c. Each lot oriented to an existing street shall meet minimum lot frontage requirements as follows:
1. Within T3 Suburban Neighborhood Evolving policy areas, each lot oriented to an existing street shall have a minimum
frontage of 50 feet. Lots oriented to the terminus of an existing permanent dead-end shall have a minimum frontage
of 35 feet.
Complies. All lots exceed the minimum frontage requirement of 50 feet.
2. Within T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving policy areas, each lot oriented to an existing street shall have a minimum
frontage of 40 feet. Lots oriented to the terminus of an existing permanent dead-end shall have a minimum frontage
of 35 feet.
Not applicable. This site is not located within a T4 Urban Neighborhood Evolving policy area.
The proposed subdivision meets all requirements of subsections a, b, and c, and is therefore found to be harmonious
and compatible with the goals of the General Plan. Subsection e of this section of the Subdivision Regulations applies
only in instances where there is any applicable special policy and is therefore not applicable to this case.
3-6 Blocks
Not applicable. No new blocks are being created.
3-7 Improvements
No public infrastructure or improvements are required with this subdivision. Construction plans for any required
private improvements (private stormwater, water and sewer lines and connections) will be reviewed at the time of
building permit.
3-8 Requirements for Sidewalks and Related Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
Not applicable. Sidewalks are required only in association with new streets. The proposed subdivision is located on
an existing street. Sidewalks may be required at the time of building permit pursuant to Section 17.20.120 of the
Zoning Code.

-- 48 of 63 --

49
3-9 Requirements for Streets
Not applicable. No new streets are proposed.
3-10 Requirements for Dedication, Reservations, or Improvements
A right of way dedicated per the Major and Collector Street Plan is provided.
3-11 Inspections During Construction
This section is applicable at the time of construction, which for this proposed subdivision, will occur only after
issuance of a building permit approved by Metro Codes and all other reviewing agencies.
3-12 Street Name, Regulatory and Warning Signs for Public Streets
Not applicable. No new streets are proposed.
3-13 Street Names, Regulatory and Warning Signs for Private Streets
Not applicable. No private streets are proposed.
3-14 Drainage and Storm Sewers
Drainage and storm sewer requirements are reviewed by Metro Stormwater. Metro Stormwater has reviewed the
proposed concept plan and found it to comply with all applicable standards of this section. Stormwater recommends
approval.
3-15 Public Water Facilities
Metro Water Services has reviewed this proposed concept plan for water and has recommended approval with
conditions.
3-16 Sewerage Facilities
Metro Water Services has reviewed this proposed concept plan for sewer and has recommended approval with
conditions.
3-17 Underground Utilities
Utilities are required to be located underground whenever a new street is proposed. The concept plan notes all new
utilities will be placed underground as required.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS
With all staff conditions, the proposed eight lots meet all zoning and subdivision requirements.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
A recent appeals court decision (Hudson et al v. Metro) upheld a lower court decision which outlined that the
Planning Commission has the authority to determine whether a concept plan complies with the adopted General Plan
(NashvilleNext). Per the Court, the Planning Commission may not evaluate each concept plan to determine whether it
is harmonious generally but may consider policy. Policy information is provided below for consideration.
The Community Character Manual (CCM) policy applied to the site is Suburban Neighborhood Evolving (T3 NE). T3
areas are predominately residential areas with neighborhoods featuring shallow and consistent setbacks and closer
building spacing. T3 NE areas with the suburban transect are intended to provide greater housing choice and
improved connectivity.
Moderate to high levels of connectivity with street networks and sidewalks are a key feature of T3 NE areas. The
policy speaks to vehicular connections with new development providing for multiple route options to destinations,
reducing congestion on primary roads. Lot sizes within the broader policy can vary and zoning districts ranging from
RS7.5 up to RM20-A are supported depending on context.

3-4 Lot Requirements
All proposed lots comply with the minimum lot size of the RS7.5 zoning district. Any development proposed on the
resulting lots will be required to meet the bulk standards and all other applicable regulations of RS7.5 zoning at the
time of building permit.
3-5 Infill Subdivisions
In order to ensure compatibility with the General Plan, the Commission has adopted specific regulations applicable to
infill subdivisions, defined as residential lots resulting from a proposed subdivision within the R, R-A, RS, and RS-A
zoning districts on an existing street. If a proposed infill subdivision meets all of the adopted applicable regulations,
then the subdivision is found to be harmonious and compatible with the goals of the General Plan. An exception to
the compatibility criteria may be granted by the Planning Commission for a SP, UDO or cluster lot subdivision by
approval of the rezoning or concept plan.
3-5.2 Criteria for Determining Compatibility for policy areas designated in the General Plan as Neighborhood
Maintenance, except where a Special Policy and/or a Designated Historic District exists. The following criteria shall
be met to determine compatibility of proposed infill lots to surrounding parcels.
d. All minimum standards of the zoning code are met.
All proposed lots meet the minimum standards of the zoning code.
e. Each lot has street frontage or meets the requirements of Section 3-4.2.b for fronting onto an open space or meets
the requirements of Sections 4-6.3 or 5-3.1 fronting onto an open space.
All lots have frontage along McGavock Pike or Kenmore Court.
f. The resulting density of lots does not exceed the prescribed densities of the policies for the area. To calculate
density, the lot(s) proposed to be subdivided and the surrounding parcels shall be used. For a corner lot, both block
faces shall be used. The T3 NM policy that applies to this site does not specifically identify an appropriate density;
however, the policy supports the underlying RS7.5 zoning district and its prescribed density.
g. The proposed lots are consistent with the community character of surrounding parcels as determined below:
1. Lot frontage is either equal to or greater than 70% of the average frontage of surrounding parcels or equal to or
greater than the surrounding lot with the least amount of frontage, whichever is greater. For a corner lot, only the
block face to which the proposed lots are to be oriented shall be used.
Lot 1 does not meet the frontage requirements along McGavock Pike as it is smaller than the smallest lot frontage
outlined in the table below; however, it does exceed 70% of the average size of the surrounding parcels. Lot 2 meets
the frontage requirements of the surrounding parcels.
Lot 1 Frontage Lot 2 Frontage
Proposed Frontage 100 ft Proposed Frontage 69.79 ft
Smallest Frontage 145.93 ft Smallest Frontage 65 ft.
70% Average 102.15 ft 70% Average 45.5 ft
2. Lot size is either equal to or greater than 70% of the lot size of the average size of surrounding parcels or
equal to or larger than smallest surrounding lot, whichever is greater. For a corner lot, only the block face to which
the proposed lots are to be oriented shall be used.
Lot 1 meets the lot size requirements along McGavock Pike. Lot 2 does not meet the lot size requirements along
Kenmore Court as it is smaller than the smallest lot size outlined in the table below; however, it does exceed 70% of
the average size of the surrounding parcels:
Lot 1 Area Lot 2 Area
Proposed Size 46,154 sf Proposed Size 9,775 sf
Smallest Size 26,571.6 sf Smallest Size 11,325.6 sf
70% Average 18,600.12 sf 70% Average 7,988.9 sf
3. Where the minimum required street setback is less than the average of the street setback of the two parcels abutting
either side of the lot proposed to be subdivided, a minimum building setback line shall be included on the proposed
lots at the average setback. When one of the abutting parcels is vacant, the next developed parcel shall be used.
For a corner lot, both block faces shall be used. New homes will be required to meet the contextual setback
standards per the Metro Zoning Code.
4. Orientation of proposed lots shall be consistent with the surrounding parcels. For a corner lot, both block faces shall
be evaluated.
The orientations of proposed Lots 1 and 2 are consistent with the surrounding parcels along McGavock Pike and
Kenmore Court.
h. The current standards of all reviewing agencies are met.
All agencies have recommended approval or approval with conditions.
i. If the proposed subdivision meets subsections a, b, c and e of this section but fails to meet subsection d, the Planning
Commission, following a public hearing in accordance with the Planning Commission Rules and Procedures, may

-- 52 of 63 --

53
consider whether the subdivision can provide for the harmonious development of the community by otherwise
meeting the provisions of TCA 13-4-303(a). In considering whether the proposed subdivision meets this threshold,
the Commission shall specifically consider the development pattern of the area, any unique geographic, topographic
and environmental factors, and other relevant information. The Commission may place reasonable conditions, as
outlined in Section 3-5.6, necessary to ensure that the development of the subdivision addresses any
particular issues present in an infill subdivision and necessary to achieve the objectives as stated in TCA 13-4-303(a).
Because the existing Lot 1 does not currently meet the minimum lot frontage requirement, and this application merely
shifts the property line between Lots 1 and 2 interior to the lots, this request will not change the character of the
neighborhood, even if the resulting Lot 1 will remain short of the minimum required lot frontage requirement.
However, the lot line shift will result in Lot 2 now not meeting the minimum lot size requirement. The proposed
configuration of property shapes and sizes is confined to the rear of the two properties, though, and no alteration will
be visible from the public ROW. These factors could form the basis for a positive judgment by the Planning
Commission that the proposed lots are generally consistent with the surrounding context and the adopted policy for
the area and provide for harmonious development.

PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS
The proposed subdivision including all staff conditions meets the standards of the Metro Subdivision Regulations and
Metro Zoning Code if the Planning Commission finds that Lots 1 and 2 can provide for harmonious development.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
A recent appeals court decision (Hudson et al v. Metro) upheld a lower court decision which outlined that the
Planning Commission has the authority to determine whether a concept plan complies with the adopted General Plan
(NashvilleNext). Per the Court, the Planning Commission may not evaluate each concept plan to determine whether it
is harmonious generally but may consider policy. Policy information is provided below for consideration.
The Community Character Manual (CCM) policy applied to the site is Urban Neighborhood Maintenance (T4 NM). T4
areas are urban neighborhoods characterized by their moderate- to high-density residential development pattern,
building form/types, setbacks, and building
rhythm along the street. T4 NM areas are intended to experience some changes over time, primarily when buildings
are expanded or replaced. When this occurs, efforts should be made to retain the existing character of the
neighborhood. High levels of connectivity with street networks and sidewalks are a key feature of T4 NM areas. Lot
sizes within the broader policy can vary, and zoning districts ranging from RS3.75 up to RM20-A are supported
depending on context.

Staff Reviewer: Logan Elliott
A request for final plat approval to remove reserve parcel status on property located at Stockdale Lane
(unnumbered), approximately 29 feet west of Hawkwood Lane, zoned RS7.5 (0.25 acres), requested by Clint Elliott
Survey, applicant; Kimberly S. Tucker, owner.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions including an exception to the double frontage standards of
the Subdivision Regulations.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Request for final plat approval to remove the reserve status from one parcel.
Final Plat
A request for final plat approval to remove reserve parcel status on property located at Stockdale Lane
(unnumbered), approximately 29 feet west of Hawkwood Lane, zoned Single-Family Residential (RS7.5) (0.25 acres).
SITE DATA AND CONTEXT
Location: The property is located within the Parkwood Estates subdivision adjacent to Briley Parkway in the
Parkwood area.
Street type: The site has frontage onto Stockdale Lane and Hawkwood Lane, both local streets.
Approximate Acreage: 0.25 acres or approximately 10,890 square feet.
Parcel/Site History: This site is in the Parkwood Estates Subdivision and was recorded in 1962. The site consists of
a single reserve parcel. Because of the reserve status, no building permit can be issued on the parcel. The 1962
plat does not indicate why the reserve tract was put in place so the Planning Commission must approve the removal
of the reserve status to make the parcel a buildable lot.
Zoning History: The property has been zoned RS7.5 since 1998.
Existing land use and configuration: The property is currently vacant.
Surrounding land use and zoning:
• North: Single-Family Residential (RS7.5)
• South: Single-Family Residential (RS7.5)
• East: Single-Family Residential (RS7.5)
• West: Single-Family Residential (RS7.5)
Zoning: Single-Family Residential (RS7.5)
Min. lot size: 7,500 square feet
Max. building coverage: 0.45

PROPOSAL DETAILS
Number of lots: 1
Lot sizes: 0.25 acres or approximately 10,890 square feet.
Access: The lot has access onto Stockdale Lane and onto Hawkwood Lane, a residential local street. Vehicular
access will be determined by the Codes Department at time of building permit.
Subdivision Variances or Exceptions Requested: The proposed lot would require an exception from the Planning
Commission for creating a single-family lot with frontage onto two local streets per the following section of the Metro
Nashville Subdivision Regulations:
Double Frontage Lots. Creation of attached and detached single-family lots with double frontage shall be prohibited.
Exceptions may be granted by the Planning Commission where necessary to provide access to residential
development from other than arterial or collector streets, or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography and
orientation.
Staff finds the proposed lot to satisfy the requirement that the proposed double frontage situation is necessary to
provide access to residential development from other than arterial or collector streets and recommends granting the
exception.
APPLICABLE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Chapter 2-8, Miscellaneous Platting Situations, apply to this request. Section 2-8.1, pertains to converting parcels to
building sites. The Commission is required to review parcels being converted to building sites. An exception to this is
when a parcel is in reserve due to pending action by a public utility to provide service to the parcel and the reason is
stated on the plat that created the reserve parcel. In this event where the reason is stated in the plat, the review can
be done at an administrative level with all revieing agency approvals.
When determining if the reserve status should be removed from parcels where the plat does not cite why the parcel is
in reserve, the regulations require the Commission consider the following:
1. That the parcel fits into the character of the area and is consistent with the general plan.
2. That all minimum standards of the zoning code are met.
3. That the parcel has street frontage or meets the requirements of Section 3-4.2.b or meets the requirements of
Sections 3-4.2.b, 3-4.2.c, 4-6.3 or 5- 3.1.
4. That the current standards of all reviewing agencies are met.
Staff finds that the subject reserve parcel meets the four requirements to become a buildable lot.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS
As proposed, the reserve parcel meets all zoning and subdivision requirements.

A request for final plat approval to create one lot on property located at 4632 Whites Creek and a portion of property
located at 4630 Whites Creek Pike, approximately 1,600 feet south of Shellbark Drive, zoned RS15 and AR2a (3.13
acres), requested by Brian McCain, applicant; William Arthur Smotherman, III, and William Thompson, Jr., owners.
Staff Recommendation: Approve with conditions including a variance from Section 4-2.5.a.1.a, Section 4-
2.5.1.1.b and Section 4-2.5.a.1.c of the Metro Subdivision Regulations.
APPLICANT REQUEST
Request for final plat approval to create one lot.
Final Plat
A request for final plat approval to create one lot on property located at 4632 Whites Creek and a portion of property
located at 4630 Whites Creek Pike, approximately 1,600 feet south of Shellbark Drive, zoned Single-Family
Residential (RS15) and Agricultural/Residential (AR2a) (3.13 acres).
SITE DATA AND CONTEXT
Location: The site is located on the west side of Whites Creek Pike, approximately 0.5 miles north of the intersection
of Whites Creek Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard.
Street type: The site has frontage on Whites Creek Pike, identified as a scenic arterial boulevard by the Major and
Collector Street Plan (MCSP) with an existing right-of-way width of 60 feet.
Approximate Acreage: 3.13 acres or approximately 136,721 square feet.
Parcel/Site History: This site is comprised of one existing lot that was platted in 1997 and a portion of an adjacent
parcel that was created by deed in 2001. The existing lot comprises approximately 0.69 acres. The remainder of the
3.13-acre site comprises a small portion of a much larger parcel, situated on approximately 128.31 acres.
Zoning History: The site is located in two zoning districts. The northern portion has been zoned RS15, Single-
Family Residential, since 1996. The RS15-zoned portion comprises approximately 0.80 acres and includes the
existing platted lot and a small area to the south. The remaining area to the south, comprising approximately 2.33
acres, has been zoned AR2a, Agricultural/Residential, since at least 1974.

-- 57 of 63 --

58
Existing land use and configuration: The northern lot has previously developed with a single-family residence and
several accessory structures that are oriented towards Whites Creek Pike. The southern portion, which is part of the
larger parcel, is undeveloped except for an existing driveway that extends from Whites Creek Pike to the north,
providing access to the existing
residence. Earthman Fork Creek runs partially through this site and includes areas in the floodway, floodplain, and
associated stormwater regulation buffers. The existing structures are located within areas of the
floodplain but are located outside of the floodway.
Surrounding land use and zoning:
• North: Single-Family Residential (RS40)

PROPOSAL DETAILS
Number of lots: 1. The plat proposes to combine the already-developed existing 0.69-acre lot with a portion of an
adjacent property located to the south. The adjacent property, comprising approximately 128.31 total acres, fronts
Whites Creek Pike and extends to the west, beyond Earthman Fork Creek, and to the south along Old Hickory
Boulevard. A small portion of this parcel, located between Whites Creek Pike and Earthman Fork Creek, comprising
approximately 2.44 acres, is proposed to be included in the new lot. The remainder of this parcel, located behind the
creek, is not included in this request. All existing structures are identified to be retained on the proposed lot.
Lot sizes: Lot 1 is proposed to be approximately 3.13 acres (136,721 square feet).
Access: Access is currently provided from Whites Creek Pike, a scenic arterial boulevard identified by the MCSP,
via an existing driveway that connects from the southern parcel to the existing residence on northern lot. Access is
not proposed to change with the proposed plat. The plat identifies areas of right-of-way reservation and a scenic
landscape easement along the frontage, consistent with the requirements for scenic arterials.
APPLICABLE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
Volume III of NashvilleNext, the General Plan for Nashville and Davidson County, contains the Community Character
Manual (CCM) which establishes land use policies for all properties across the county. The land use policies
established in CCM are based on a planning tool called the Transect, which describes a range of development
patterns from most to least developed.
Prior versions of Subdivision Regulations for Nashville and Davidson County contained a uniform set of standards
that were applied Metro-wide. This did not take into account the diverse character that exists across the County. In
order to achieve harmonious development within the diversity of development patterns that exist in Nashville and
Davidson County, the Planning Commission has adopted the current Subdivision Regulations. The Subdivision
Regulations incorporate the General Plan policies by including rules or standards for each specific transect. This
allows policies of the General Plan to be followed through application of the varying Subdivision Regulations to reflect
the unique characteristics found in the different transects. The site is within the Rural Countryside (T2 RCS) policy
and Conservation (CO) policy. For sites within the T2 Rural transect, the Rural Character Subdivision regulations
found in Chapter 4 are utilized.
There are several subdivision options in the Rural Subdivision Regulations. This proposal utilizes the Countryside
Character Design Open Alternative option as described in Section 4-2.5.a.1 of the subdivision regulations.

-- 58 of 63 --

4-2. Development Standards
4-2.1. Identification of Primary Conservation Land. Prior to design of any subdivision plan with new streets or joint
access easement, Primary Conservation Land shall be identified and, subject to the provisions of Sections 4-2.2 and
4-2.3, preserved from any disturbance.
Not applicable, as no new streets or joint access easements are proposed.
4-2.2. Preservation of Conservation Land. Unless an exception is granted under Section 4-2.3, all Primary
Conservation Areas shall be preserved and set aside through an appropriate means such as conservation easements
and/or open space.
Not applicable, as no new streets or joint access easements are proposed.
4-2.3 Development Footprint. The remaining land outside of the boundary of the Primary Conservation Land shall be
designed as the Development Footprint. A preliminary grading plan is required with all concept plan applications.
Not applicable, as no new streets or joint access easements are proposed.
4-2.3 Building Placement. In subdivisions without new streets or joint access easements, any subdivision application
shall note proposed building envelopes.
The site has previously been developed with a residential use and several accessory structures. Existing building
envelopes have been shown on the plat.
4-2.5 Rural Character Design
a. Countryside Character Option. This option may be used for any rural character subdivision. It is intended to maintain
a natural, open rural character by minimizing the visual intrusion of development along primary roadways through the
use of setbacks, building placement, existing vegetation and natural topographic features that obscure the view of
development from the street.
1. Open Alternative – Street frontage without existing vegetative or topographical screening. For purposes of this
section, “surrounding parcels” is defined as the five R, RS, AR2a, or AG parcels oriented to the same block face on
either side of the parcel proposed for subdivision, or to the end of the same blockface, whichever is less. If there are
no surrounding parcels, the screened alternative shall be used.
a. Building Setback along existing public streets.
Does not comply. The building setbacks are required to be varied, and a minimum setback line is required to be
platted when the average setback of abutting parcels is more than the minimum required street setback established
by the zoning. The average front setback of the abutting parcels is approximately 126.25 feet, greater than the 40-
foot minimum required setback required by the Zoning Code. The existing building setback at Lot 1 is approximately
27 feet. Proposed Lot 1 does not comply with the minimum 126.25-foot minimum setback requirement.
b. Lot Depth along existing public streets.
Does not comply. The minimum depth for lots along existing public streets shall be the building setback required by
Sec 4-2.5(a) plus 300 feet. This provision requires an approximate 426.25-foot lot depth for the proposed lot. As
proposed, the average depth of proposed Lot 1 is approximately 203 feet. Lot 1 does not comply with the 426.25-foot
minimum lot depth.
c. Lot size along existing public streets.
Does not comply. A compatibility analysis was conducted per this requirement. Minimum lot size is either equal to or
greater than 70% of the lot size of the average size of surrounding parcels or equal to or larger than the smallest of
the surrounding parcels, whichever is greater. The outcome of the analysis is that the minimum lot size required for
the proposed lot is approximately 3.83 acres, or 166,835 square feet. Lot 1 is proposed to be 3.13 acres, or 136,721
square feet, and does not comply with the 3.83-acre minimum lot size.
d. Lot frontage abutting existing public streets.
Complies. A compatibility analysis was conducted per this requirement. The outcome of the analysis is that the
minimum lot frontage along Whites Creek Pike required for Lot 1 is approximately 137.61 feet. The frontage of Lot 1
is proposed to be approximately 688.31 feet, which exceeds the minimum 137.61-foot minimum requirement. Lot 1
complies with the minimum 137.61-foot minimum requirement
e. Street lights.
Not applicable to this case.
f. Cluster lot option.
Not applicable to this case.
Subdivision Variances or Exceptions Requested: Yes. This request requires a variance from Section 4-2.5.a.1.a
(minimum building setback), Section 4-2.5.a.1.b (minimum lot depth), and Section 4-2.5.a.1.c (minimum lot size).
Section 1-11, Variances, permits the Planning Commission to grant variances to the Subdivision Regulations when it
finds that extraordinary hardships or practical difficulties may results from strict compliance with the regulations.
While the regulations grant the Commission the authority to grant variances, the regulations state that “such variance
shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations.” In order to grant a
variance, the Commission must find that:

-- 59 of 63 --

60
1. The granting of the variance shall not be detrimental to the public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other
property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located.
2. The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is
sought and are not applicable generally to other property.
3. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved,
a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of these
regulations were carried out.
4. The variance shall not in any manner vary from the provisions of the adopted General Plan, including its constituent
elements, the Major Street Plan, or the Zoning Code for Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County (Zoning Code).
Variance Analysis
Variance Request #1
Section 4-2.5.a.1.a requires that the minimum building setback along existing publics street be platted when the
average setback of abutting parcels (126.25 feet, in this case) is more than the minimum required street setback
established by the zoning (40 feet). In this case, the proposed lot has previously developed with a single-family
structure and multiple accessory structures, including a carport that is located closer to the front of the property than
the primary residence. The front setback would therefore be measured to the front of the existing carport, which
contains an approximate 27-foot building setback, rather than to the front of the existing residential structure, which
sits back towards the rear of the property with an approximate building setback of 166 feet. While the existing 166
foot-setback of the primary residential structure exceeds the minimum requirement, it would not be possible for Lot 1
to comply with the minimum 126.25-foot building setback unless the existing, previously developed carport was
removed from the site. Staff finds that the existing setback does not conflict with the intent of the Rural Subdivision
Regulations and meets all the requirements for the Commission to grant the variance.
Variance Request #2
Section 4-2.5.a.1.b requires that the minimum lot depth along existing public streets be 300’ plus the required front
setback. In this case, the minimum required lot depth is 426.25 feet. As proposed, the average depth of the proposed
lot will be approximately 203 feet. In this case, the centerline of Earthman Fork Creek forms the western boundary of
the site and the majority of the surrounding developed properties in the area, creating a natural barrier between the
creek and properties fronting Whites Creek Pike. The location of the creek has resulted in a development pattern of
shorter lot depths along this stretch of Whites Creek Pike, including at this site where the existing platted lot, in its
current form, would not comply with the 426.25-foot minimum depth requirement. The plat is simply proposing to
continue this natural barrier to the south, aligning with the rear boundary of adjacent properties to the south. The end
result would be in keeping with the existing character established along the east side of Earthman Fork Creek. Staff
finds that the proposed depth does not conflict with the intent of the Rural Subdivision Regulations and meets all the
requirements for the Commission to grant the variance.
Variance Request #3
Section 4-2.5.a.1.c requires the minimum lot size along existing public streets be equal to or greater than 70% of the
average size of surrounding parcels or equal to or greater than the smallest, whichever is greater. In this case, the
minimum required lot size is approximately 3.83 acres or 166,835 square feet. The proposed lot is 3.13 acres, less
than the minimum requirement. However, the existing platted lot, in its current form, is 0.69 acres and does not
comply with the minimum lot size requirement. The lot, as proposed, will become larger with the additional area
added from the adjacent parcel to the south, resulting in a new 3.13-acre lot. Additionally, the proposed lot size is
larger than nearly all of the surrounding parcels except for one outlier that is significantly larger than the rest of the
surrounding parcels. Staff finds that the proposed lot size does not conflict with the intent of the Rural Subdivision
Regulations and meets all the requirements for the Commission to grant the variance.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS
Staff finds that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the intent of the Rural Subdivision Regulations. The
proposed lot will increase the size of an already-developed lot, where the existing structures will be retained. The
rear boundary is in keeping with the natural barrier established by Earthman Fork Creek, preserving the integrity of
the existing stream corridor. Furthermore, staff finds that the variances necessary to permit the proposed subdivision
are appropriate and meet the standards for the Commission to approve the variance requests.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
A recent appeals court decision (Hudson et al v. Metro) upheld a lower court decision which outlined that the
Planning Commission has the authority to determine whether a concept plan complies with the adopted General Plan
(NashvilleNext). Per the Court, the Planning Commission may not evaluate each concept plan to determine whether it
is harmonious generally but may consider policy. Policy information is provided below for consideration.
The Community Character Manual (CCM) policy applied to the site is Rural Countryside (T2 RCS) and Conservation
(CO). T2 Rural neighborhoods are intended to maintain rural character as a permanent choice for living within
Davidson County and not as a holding or transitional zone for future urban development. In T2 Rural areas that
include Conservation policy, the primary intent is to preserve the natural features.

-- 60 of 63 --

61
T2 RCS areas have an established development pattern of very low-density residential development, secondary
agricultural uses, and institutional land uses. The policy speaks to maintaining the area’s natural landscape.
Individual lot sizes can vary, reflecting the diversity of rural character and minimum lot size requirements permitted by
existing zoning in place prior to the adoption of the Rural policy. New development in T2 RCS areas generally does
not exceed 1 dwelling unit/5 acres with individual lots no smaller than the existing zoning and a significant amount of
permanently preserved open space. Supported zoning districts include AR2a and AG, or design-based zoning,
depending on the context.
