An Ordinance amending Section 17.12.030 of Title 17 of the Metropolitan Code, Zoning Regulations, pertaining to the calculation of required street setbacks for residential areas with an established development pattern (Proposal No. 2014Z-011TX-001).

BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:

Section 1. That Title 17 of the Code of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Zoning Regulations, is hereby amended by amending Section 17.12.030 by deleting subsection c.3. in its entirety and substituting with the following new subsection c.3:

“3. In residential areas with an established development pattern, the minimum required street setbacks for the R, RS and MHP districts shall be the average setback, up to a maximum of three times the standard setback provided in Table 17.12.030A, of the four nearest single-family or two-family houses on the same block face that are oriented to the same street and that follow the established development pattern. When there are less than four single-family or two-family houses on the same block face that are oriented to the same street and that follow the established development pattern, then the minimum required street setback shall be the average setback of all single-family or two-family houses on the same block face that are oriented to the same street and that follow the established development pattern. When there are no other single-family or two-family houses on the same block face, oriented to the same street and that follow the established development pattern, then the value provided in Table 17.12.030A shall determine the setback. In the MUN and MUL districts, the average street setback of existing structures along the same block face may be applied to new construction on that block, if determined appropriate by the zoning administrator to maintain or reinforce an established form of character of development.”

Section 2. The provisions of Section 1 of this ordinance shall be implemented and enforced from and after August 1, 2014.

Section 3. 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.
