Parking structure at Fifth Avenue North and Harrison Avenue

A bill aiming to eliminate minimum parking requirements in the part of  Nashville covered by the Urban Zoning Overlay will go before the Metro Council Tuesday for a third and final reading.

When District 17 Councilmember Colby Sledge proposed the ordinance in early September, it initially eliminated the minimum parking requirements, allowing developers to decide for themselves how much parking to build. The latest iteration goes even further, instituting a maximum parking requirement that limits how much parking new developments can provide. This was one of multiple changes that came out of a public hearing, a planning commission meeting and ongoing community engagement meetings.
