Council Passes Erica Gilmore's SP Request Despite Planning's Disapproval

Even though Metro Planners have declared that Erica Gilmore's proposed rezone of a Pearl Street residence to a mixed-use is inconsistent with the North Nashville Community plan's residential character, Metro Council approved the rezoning on first reading tonight. Planning also noted that the neighborhood in which the proposed development sits is "worthy of conservation" and that the property lays between two public schools.

This looks like another overuse, perhaps misuse, of SP zoning to me. Still no word on whether CM Gilmore has held any community meetings on this matter.
