The ordinance rezones 0.22 acres at 1247 and 1249 Lewis Street from IWD (Industrial Warehousing/Distribution) to MUL-A-NS (Mixed-Use Limited Alternative - No Short-Term Rental). This change enables the development of residential and commercial spaces in a mixed-use format, aligning with South Nashville’s evolving urban landscape. The rezoning removes industrial use restrictions, allowing for higher-density development with pedestrian-oriented commercial uses. The 'NS' designation ensures that short-term rentals are not permitted, preserving long-term residential character. The site’s proximity to Garden Street enhances its potential for neighborhood-serving businesses and housing.
This rezoning supports South Nashville’s transition to a walkable, mixed-use district while discouraging short-term rental conversions. It promotes higher-density development and retail opportunities in a growing urban corridor.
