By changing from R40 to SP zoning for property located at 7734 Highway 70 South, at the northwest corner of Highway 70 South and Harpeth Valley Road and within the Floodplain Overlay District (3.37 acres) to permit certain uses permitted in the CL zoning district, as being Property Parcel No. 086 as designated on Map 127-00 of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, all of which is described by lines, words and figures on the plan that was duly considered by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, and which is on file with the Metropolitan Planning Department and made a part of this ordinance as though copied herein.

Section 2. Be it further enacted, that the Metropolitan Clerk is hereby authorized and directed, upon the enactment and approval of this ordinance, to cause the change to be made on Sheet No. 127 of said Official Zoning Map for Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County, as set out in Section 1 of this ordinance, and to make notation thereon of reference to the date of passage and approval of this amendatory ordinance.

Up to two ground signs, including one per frontage, at a maximum of 28 square feet in size and six feet in height, shall be permitted for the development.
4. Prohibited signs shall include roof mounted signs, pole mounted signs, billboards, and signs that flash, rotate, scintillate, blink, flicker or vary in intensity or color, including all electronic signs.
