This ordinance amends the existing Specific Plan (SP) zoning for properties at 2nd Avenue North and Van Buren Street, encompassing 2.99 acres. The amendment permits the development of 395 multi-family residential units while maintaining compatibility with surrounding land uses. Key changes include specific architectural standards, garage screening, and greenway accessibility requirements. The plan integrates public infrastructure improvements, including sidewalks and landscaping, to enhance the neighborhood’s walkability and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it prohibits short-term rental properties, aligning with the area’s residential character and long-term housing goals.
This amendment facilitates the creation of nearly 400 housing units, addressing Nashville's housing demand while prioritizing urban livability and connectivity. It also ensures community compatibility through design standards and public space enhancements.
