Harding Academy/Humane Property Re-zone request

Yesterday, Harding Academy submitted a re-zoning request for property located 112 Harding Place. This property is more commonly known as the Humane Association property because it was for many years home to the Nashville Humane Association. In 2005 it was rezoned from Commercial Service to residential multi-family to accomodate a proposed 5 story luxury condo development.


The economy being what it is, the condo project was never built and Harding Academy purchased the land for parking. The RM zoning classification will not accomodate off-site parking so, they are proposing it be rezoned. Since this is a pretty sensitive piece of property - located along a creek that floods - special consideration must be given and the SP designation is probably the best tool to create a custom zoning.


The proposal has been submitted to the Metro Planning Department. It will also require Stormwater Committee and Metro Council approval. Below is the plan. I cropped it a bit to make it easier to read but can send the whole image to anyone who needs it.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.
