The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's Planning Commission approved a request to rezone a 0.12-acre property at 1230 Bessie Avenue from RS5 (Single-Family Residential) to R6-A (Residential Duplex). The property is located approximately 105 feet south of Weakley Avenue. This change permits increased residential density on the parcel, allowing for the construction of duplexes where only single-family homes were previously permitted. The rezoning was approved by the Planning Commission on October 24, 2024, and is awaiting final action by the Metropolitan Council.
