The Metro Council of Nashville and Davidson County has approved a rezoning ordinance to change the zoning of 4120 Murfreesboro Pike from AR2A (Agricultural Residential) to SP (Specific Plan). This rezoning allows for a 90-unit multi-family residential development within the Murfreesboro Pike Urban Design Overlay District. The ordinance includes specific landscaping and architectural requirements, including a Type B landscape buffer and a minimum glazing requirement on elevations fronting private and public streets. The project also mandates compliance with Metro Fire Marshal's Office standards, including emergency access and water supply for fire protection. Internal driveways will be designated as private and maintained by a Homeowner’s Association. The development aligns with RM9-A-NS zoning standards where unspecified in the SP plan, ensuring consistency with the city's broader zoning framework.
This rezoning facilitates the development of workforce housing in a growing area of Nashville, increasing residential density while maintaining urban design standards. It also enforces architectural and landscaping guidelines to enhance the area's visual and environmental sustainability.
