In all cases, buildings used to determine context may include structures that existed on the effective date of the ordinance that established the urban zoning overlay district and did not comply with the minimum setback requirements.

SECTION 2. BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this ordinance take effect immediately after its passage and such change be published in a newspaper of general circulation, the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
