The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a rezoning ordinance to change the zoning of properties at 3201 Hamilton Church Road and 3124 Murfreesboro Pike from AR2A (Agricultural Residential) to SP (Specific Plan) zoning. This rezoning allows for the development of 171 multi-family residential units within the Murfreesboro Pike Urban Design Overlay. The ordinance ensures compliance with Metro Fire Marshal’s requirements, public sidewalk provisions, and architectural standards outlined in the preliminary SP. STRP (Short-Term Rental Properties) are explicitly prohibited. The development aligns with RM9 zoning regulations where unspecified in the SP plan. Any significant modifications will require a new ordinance approval by the Metro Council.
This decision supports increased residential density in a growing urban area, facilitating workforce housing within an established urban design overlay. It also reinforces zoning consistency by integrating RM9 zoning standards and setting clear restrictions against short-term rentals.
