The final decision applies a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU) Overlay District to 123.1 acres encompassing various properties located south of Douglas Avenue, north of West Eastland Avenue, and west of Gallatin Avenue in Nashville. This ordinance amends Title 17 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws by revising the Official Zoning Map to reflect the new overlay for properties zoned RS5, R6, and R6-A. The implementation allows property owners within this district to develop detached accessory dwelling units, supporting greater housing diversity and density in the area.
This ordinance promotes housing affordability and flexibility by enabling the construction of detached accessory dwelling units, providing additional housing options for property owners and tenants. It aligns with Nashville's goals of increasing housing diversity while respecting existing zoning regulations.
