CM Ginny Welsch Proposes Radical Massive Rezoning for Woodbine Allowing 20 to 40 apartments per acre

 by Austin Hornbostel, The Tennessean, April 22, 2025- 

Key Points

  • District 16 Metro Council Member Ginny Welsch is proposing an Urban Design Overlay for southeast Nashville's Glencliff, Woodbine and Radnor neighborhoods.
  • The rezoning would affect hundreds of acres of properties to the north and south of Thompson Lane near Nolensville Pike, shifting zoning standards to allow for up to 40 housing units on some parcels.
  • Neighbors have plenty of questions and concerns. Some are worried about adding density around an already high-traffic area, while others have felt blindsided by a rapid proposal process.

There’s a significant rezoning proposal on the table for southeast Nashville’s Glencliff, Woodbine and Radnor neighborhoods, and it’s leading to plenty of questions from residents.

Well over 100 neighbors packed the meeting room at Coleman Park Community Center just off Nolensville Pike on April 17. They were there to learn more about an Urban Design Overlay proposed by Metro Council Member Ginny Welsch, who represents the neighborhoods in District 16. (read more)

Rod's Comment: I generally favor a reform of Davidson County's zoning ordinance to allow greater density. However, a single district should not be massively rezoned in this manner. This is too radical of a proposal.
