This substitute ordinance amends Chapter 17.04 of the Metropolitan Code, Zoning Ordinance, by revising the definition of 'Outdoor storage' and deleting the definitions of 'Junkyard' and 'Salvage yard.' This legislative action aims to clarify and update the city's zoning lexicon for consistency and modern land-use practices across Nashville. The Metropolitan Planning Commission recommended approval with an 8-0 vote, and the Metropolitan Council subsequently approved the substitute ordinance by a 9-0 vote.
