Current West Nashville Community Plan

The West Nashville Community Plan is one of fourteen community plans which guide growth and development in Davidson County.  Each of those plans is updated every seven to ten years, and amended as necessary; the Planning Commission approved the current West Nashville plan in 2000, with amendments in 2003, 2005, and 2007.   

The 2003 and 2005 amendments are included in the plan below, and the 2007 amendment is shown separately.   Land use policies shown on the structure plan maps are contained in the Land Use Policy Application document, which explains how land use policies are applied in each area. On August 14, 2008, the Planning Commission approved a new land-use document, the Community Character Manual which replaces the Land Use Policy Application.  The CCM will be used as community plans and amendments are updated in Subarea 7.
