NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT
OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:
Section 1. That the “Plan” is amended by replacing the following
paragraphs in Section C.2.b of the Plan with the following:
(20) Tract 74A
Intent: To develop existing surface parking on the block for any of a variety
of high intensity uses and to preserve and enhance the historic structures
on Lower Broadway and the Ryman Auditorium.
Principal Uses: Entertainment, commercial/retail, residential, office, parking,
museums, and public spaces.
Design Objectives: The Ryman Auditorium should be renovated as a museum or
other appropriate use and be incorporated into the development of this block,
which will include public park, plaza or pedestrian mall space. The development
is envisaged to consist of a mixture of low-rise buildings, ranging up to twelve
stories, all carefully integrated with tower developments, which may range
up to twenty-three stories. The tallest structures shall be built on Commerce
Street with the scale diminishing toward Broadway. The scale of structures
on the block should diminish from Commerce Street, where highrise structures
may be appropriate, to Lower Broadway. New construction on the existing parking
lot north of the Ryman Auditorium should be designed to foster pedestrian traffic
along the adjacent streets and should not unduly diminish the character of
the Ryman Auditorium or the visibility of the Ryman’s west façade.
Façade guidelines of the Market and Design Study for Broadway will be
the basis for design review on parcels in the Broadway National Register Historic
District. In addition to preserving the Ryman Auditorium, historically significant
buildings on Broadway will be preserved and integrated into the development
and any deteriorating facades will be repaired and upgraded. New construction
located immediately behind the buildings fronting on Broadway or on Broadway
itself will be compatible with the earlier buildings in materials, size, scale,
height, proportion, orientation, color and texture. Contemporary design must
be compatible with the character of the Broadway Historic District, but any
new structures should not imitate past architectural styles. Care should be
taken in the design of new development on this block to promote the economic
revitalization of the Broadway Historic District.
Vehicle Access: Not restricted.
(25) Tract 91A
Intent: To provide land for a variety of new high intensity uses compatible
with existing civic and cultural facilities located south of Broadway, including
the Gaylord Entertainment Center, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, and
Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
Principal Use: Arts and entertainment, office, retail, hotel, residential,
structured parking, civic facilities, and public spaces.
Design Objectives: The redevelopment of these blocks should be planned and
designed to accommodate high intensity development supportive of a strong pedestrian
environment in the area south of Broadway. The scale and orientation of new
development south of Broadway should emphasize the importance of Demonbreun
Street, 5th Avenue, and any future extension of Gateway Boulevard as primary
streets in the area.
Vehicle Access: Not restricted, except for new development located on any future
extension of Gateway Boulevard from which access will be restricted.
(28) Tract 94A
