The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a rezoning ordinance to change the zoning of 1230 Bessie Avenue from RS5 (Single-Family Residential) to R6-A. The rezoning applies to 0.12 acres, approximately 105 feet south of Weakley Avenue. The ordinance directs the Metropolitan Clerk to update the zoning map accordingly and publish a notice of the zoning change. The change aligns with Nashville’s urban infill policies, facilitating increased residential density in the Bordeaux - Whites Creek - Haynes Trinity area.
This rezoning supports higher residential density by permitting both single-family and two-family housing, addressing Nashville’s growing housing demand while maintaining neighborhood character.
