An ordinance was approved to amend Title 17 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws, the Zoning Ordinance of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, by changing from Specific Plan (SP) to Specific Plan (SP) zoning. The property is located at 800 North 5th Street, at the northwest corner of Arrington Street and North 5th Street, and spans 0.19 acres. The rezoning permits the development of three multi-family residential units. Short-term rental properties, whether owner-occupied or not, are specifically prohibited. The development will be limited to 2.5 stories with a maximum height of 35 feet. Key conditions include providing architectural elevations, labeling internal driveways as 'Private Driveways' to be maintained by a Homeowner's Association, and complying with Metro Fire Marshal's Office requirements for emergency vehicle access and water supply. Public sidewalks, grass strips, and frontage zones are also required, with existing vertical obstructions to be relocated.
