The ordinance rezones 13 acres at 935 Barnes Road, located at the southwest corner of Barnes Road and Old Hickory Boulevard, from AR2a (Agricultural Residential) to RS10 and RS20. This zoning change allows for single-family residential development, replacing the existing agricultural zoning that required a 2-acre minimum lot size. The RS10 and RS20 designations establish smaller lot sizes, permitting increased density in the area. The change aligns with Nashville’s residential growth strategy and allows for suburban-style residential development. The decision ensures compliance with the city's general plan and future land use objectives.
This rezoning increases housing availability in a developing area, accommodating demand for single-family homes. It also promotes efficient land use while maintaining suburban density levels.
