The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved an ordinance rezoning properties at 1201 Keller Avenue and 1202 A, B, and C McGavock Pike from R6 and R8 (Single-Family Residential) to SP (Specific Plan) zoning to permit eight multi-family residential units. The 0.86-acre site is approximately 130 feet east of Bronte Avenue. The ordinance mandates specific architectural requirements, including window transparency on the third story, labeled private driveways maintained by a Homeowners' Association, and compliance with Metro Fire Marshal requirements for emergency vehicle access. Additionally, all structures must adhere to the RM9-A zoning district standards if development guidelines are not specified in the SP plan.
This rezoning facilitates higher-density housing in the East Nashville area while maintaining quality design standards and long-term residential stability. It aligns with Nashville’s urban development goals by increasing workforce housing options.
