The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a rezoning ordinance to change the zoning of 196 A Chilton Street and an unnumbered adjacent parcel from RS7.5 (Single-Family Residential) to R6-A. The rezoning applies to 0.36 acres at the southeast corner of Chilton Street and Waller Street. This change allows for higher-density residential development by permitting both single-family and two-family dwellings on smaller lots. The ordinance directs the Metropolitan Clerk to update the zoning map accordingly and publish a notice of the zoning change. The change aligns with urban infill policies aimed at increasing housing supply in South Nashville.
This rezoning promotes urban infill by allowing higher residential density, supporting Nashville’s efforts to increase housing availability while maintaining neighborhood character. It aligns with the city's land-use goals for sustainable development.
