The next meeting is VERY important. Metro Planning Department is hosting a meeting on Monday, August 23rd from 6:00 – 7:00 pm to explain what they are proposing.
In response to a request from the property owner of 444 Lynn Drive to change zoning for his property, the planning Department is responding with a proposed amendment to the Southeast Community Plan. The areas they want to change are on Trousdale from Elysian Fields Road to Blackman Road and on Harding from Trousdale to Wauford. The request would change the land use policy from Suburban Neighborhood Maintenance (T3 NM) to Transition Policy and possible strategic areas of Suburban Neighborhood Center (T3 NC) policy. The changes will not actually change the zoning of the properties but it would allow future zoning changes.
