I missed the importance of this bill when reviewing the agenda. This was posted to Facebook by Council member Emily Evans.
Friends
of historic preservation, please be aware of a little bait and switch
going on at Council tomorrow night. The bill intended to replace the
2006 SP (sponsored by Mike Jameson) that protected the historic
integrity of Broadway between 2nd and 3rd will (if the sponsor gets her
way) be substituted by an unpublished bill which will carve out 2
properties allegedly controlled by Steve Smith giving him more latitude
to develop these parcels than anyone else in the historic
district downtown. You may be familiar with Mr. Smith's approach to land use rules: http://www.jrn.com/newschannel5/news/Proposed-Downtown-Diner-Has-Critics-May-Not-Happen-270410741.html. Most folks downtown are.
This carve out is not fair to other property owners and defeats the
original intent of the 2006 zoning initiatives to save the Trail West
Building. Please write Council at Councilmembers@nashville.gov and ask
them to defer BL 2014-838 for further discussion and debate on the
impact to the historic integrity of the area.
