The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a rezoning ordinance to change the zoning of 1014 and 1006 Morrison Street, as well as an unnumbered adjacent parcel, from RS3.75 and RM20 to RM20-NS. The rezoning applies to 0.18 acres within the Phillips Jackson Redevelopment District, approximately 177 feet northwest of Jackson Street. The ordinance prohibits non-owner-occupied short-term rental properties while maintaining the density allowances of RM20 zoning. The change aligns with urban infill strategies to promote higher-density housing in the downtown area.
This rezoning supports increased multi-family residential development in the Phillips Jackson Redevelopment District, contributing to housing availability while restricting non-owner-occupied short-term rentals to maintain long-term residential stability.
