The Last of the in-person Housing & Infrastructure Workshops is Tomorrow, Sat. May 31.

by Rod Williams, May 30, 2025- Big changes are being proposed for Nashville's zoning ordinance which would result in greater housing density and more flexibility in where housing can be build. A couple years ago, some members of the Metro Council introduced several ordinances that would have increased housing density. There was an outpouring of public opposition, and those measures were put on hold. 

Since that time, the Metro Planning Commission has been studying the issue and has developed a plan for changing Metro's zoning to achieve the result of greater housing density. The Planning Commission has produced its report and has been hosting public meetings where the housing study is explained and where Planning Commission staff are available to answer questions. I have been intending to attend one of those workshops, but being somewhat a procrastinator, I have done so yet. Tomorrow is the last of the workshops and I plan on attending.  

The workshop is Saturday, May 31 from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. at the Sonny West Conference Center on the Fulton Campus, 700 2nd Ave S, Nashville, TN 37210.
