The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved an ordinance amending the Liberty Place Specific Plan (SP) to allow for the development of 159 multi-family residential units across 26.59 acres. The amendment applies to multiple parcels on Liberty Lane, approximately 250 feet west of Peeples Court. The revised SP establishes new conditions, including updated emergency access requirements, a minimum of 20% open space, and mandatory architectural elevations for all structures. The ordinance requires that building facades be constructed of high-quality materials such as brick, stone, and cementitious siding. Additional development conditions include compliance with ADA and Fair Housing Act standards, dedicated private driveways maintained by a Homeowners' Association, and adherence to Metro Fire Marshal requirements for emergency vehicle access. The fallback zoning for the site is RM-6.

Why it Matters

This amendment enables higher-density workforce housing development while maintaining design quality and accessibility standards. The project contributes to Nashville’s housing supply, supporting urban growth and affordability in the Madison area.
