The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved an ordinance rezoning 516 Meridian Street from SP to SP to permit five multi-family residential units. The 0.39-acre site is located at the northwest corner of Treutland Avenue and Meridian Street in East Nashville. Development conditions include height restrictions consistent with the preliminary SP plan, architectural requirements to ensure glazing on specific facades, and limited vehicular access through an alley. The final site plan must maintain all internal driveways as private, with maintenance responsibilities assigned to the Homeowners' Association. The zoning change supports urban infill development, increasing housing density in an established residential neighborhood​:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}​:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
