Two new zone changing request popped up on Metro’s Development Tracker map. The first is for three parcels owned by Samaritans Recovery Center at the corner of S 5th and Shelby totaling 4.61 acres.  Reason for zone changing request is for Multifamily Development.  The second is for two parcels at 1106 and 1108 Davidson Street totaling 7.97 acres along the river. Reason for zone changing request is because “neighborhood is becoming less industrial and more residential”.
 

The parcels that Samaritans Recovery Center sit on are prime real estate (I know, Captain Obvious). There are some beautiful old growth magnolia trees on them that I would hate to see all cut down.

A few District 6/East Nashville updates, some catching up on prior posts here:

-At last night's Metro Council meeting the street renaming of the 400 block of Summer Place (from I-24 to South 5th Street) to Jerry Newson Way was approved on third and final reading.  I worked with Sheriff Hall on this request to honor the late Sheriff's Deputy Jerry Newson along this street section that abuts the new Davidson County Sheriff's Office HQ building that is currently being constructed on that corner through legislation that I approved during the Barry administration.

-At last night's Metro Council meeting the legislation passed third and final reading approving a lease agreement for The Episcopal School of Nashville to move to the historic Ross School building at 1310 Ordway Place in the Lockeland Springs neighborhood. The Episcopal School of Nashville will move from their current location at St. Ann's Episcopal Church to this building, which was recently vacated by Nashville Classical, which has recently moved to the historic Bailey School campus in the Eastwood neighborhood. Note that this building is owned by Metro Government and not MNPS, and therefore this lease required coordination with the Mayor's Office.  I have been working with the Episcopal School on this proposal for a while now.

-During tomorrow's Planning Commission meeting the Historic Landmark Overlay application for the Gerald Nicely building (MDHA HQ) on South 6th Street will be considered.  This legislation will ensure preservation of this historic asset as the Envision Cayce Master Plan implementation brings new construction phasing all around the building.

-I am continuing to work with owners of industrial properties along the Davidson Street corridor to move it away from industrial uses and toward more active uses, particularly if they can address both the riverfront and the pedestrian/cycle track along the Music City Bikeway.  Two adjacent parcels on Davidson will be considered for a zone change from industrial to MUG-A zoning at the August 27th Planning Commission meeting.  There are no current project plans for the site; however the property owners are interested in marketing the parcel(s) for mixed uses once those base zoning entitlements are in place.

-The Samaritan Recover Center property at 407 S 4th Street will also be considered for a base zone change to MUG-A at the August 27th Planning Commission meeting.  This parcel is located in a T5-Center policy area, which is the second-highest-intensity policy area behind the Downtown policy areas.  As such, this policy area between South 4th and 5th Streets serves as a buffer zone between the Downtown policy area which extends across the East Bank up to I-24 and the T4-Urban Neighborhood policy areas east of 5th Street. This base zone change is associated with a project and has been closely vetted to this point with the Planning Department. The Shelby House project will include a new facility at the northwest corner of South 5th and Shelby for Samaritan Recovery Center that nearly doubles their space. The project will also include a couple hundred apartment units with an affordable housing component to create more mixed-income housing opportunities in East Nashville.  Here is a link to the video of a recent online community meeting presentation about the project  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uEUK6rfI-uTk0hryO1Py2pPMcghdE2VK?usp=sharing.

Madison Motel demolished. Any ideas what the plan is for this site? I remember the owner of the parcel (I think) put out a poll last year asking what they should turn the property into.

Since many of you liked the old family  photos of Shelby Park  back in the 1940s, I thought I would share with you some of my memories of the places in Inglewood to Madison that have vanished since the gentrification of that area of Nashville.  I grew up off Gallatin Pike (not road as it is called today) right by the railroad tressle on Iverson Avenue.  My grandfather built two houses from Sears & Roebuck kits for about $8,000 each.  That's my mom back in 1943 at 1009 Iverson Avenue befoe she was married..  Back then Gallatin squeezed through under the railroad bridge even though the road was only 2 lanes back then in 1947.  It had not been widened since it was built in the early 20th century.  Nashville and Inglewood was  dark and nasty as none of the hydroelectic dams existed on the Cumberland and the whole city was heated by coal and powered by coal-burning powerplants.  Any new buildings were fairly quickly blackened by the pollution.  Not as bad as Birmingham, Alabama though.  This proved fortunate as the Blizzard of 1951 wiped out power for the whole city, but at least a large number of homes had some minimal heat.  I have very clear memories of this even though I was only 4.  When the TVA began construction of Old Hickory Dam, we often made trips over there to look at the construction being the biggest thing in the area.  I always was impressed by the scale, but also the 10 huge smokestacks of the abandoned WW1 gunpowder works next to it.  The manufacture of gunpowder was a BIG thing for Nashville back then and Nashville was known as "Powder City of the World" as proclaimed on this old postcard.   By the 1950s only the 10 huge smokestacks remained in a tangle of woods.  Dupont took over the lands and blew them up in about 1963 for new plant construction..  The dam brought in a new era of clean air as the new suburbs were all electric homes like the one we moved into in Dalewood overlooking the future site of Opryland and Shelby Bottoms as I recently posted.  Back to  Inglewood and Gallatin Road, the newest  miracle was a huge new theater, the Inglewood...now demolished.  I remember at 10 years old walking 3 blocks to the old Icehouse past the hardware and McGinnis drugs...demolished for a KFC.  If you wanted to reach the other side of the Cumberland, there were no automobile bridges between the Shelby Street Bridge and the Old Hickony Bridge.  You took a ferry ride instead over to get to Donaldson at McGavock Road.  I remember in the 1950s going out towards Madison to buy wonderful fresh baked rasin bread at Mayfair Market just before Litton High and would even stop at the 5 & 10 there for a toy.  The market burned in the late 50s and the 5&10 went out of business soon after.   I did manage to go to school at Isaac Litton where my mom went to school in the late 1930s.  The old classic high school building was demolished eventually though the old gym was refurbished and still stands.   I even had some of her teachers too.  Another interesting place I could see from our Iverson backyard was the the old Tuberculosis Hospital and the Old Mason's Home.  Largely abandoned off Ben Allen Road until the state and city rebuilt or demolished  a lot of it   We passed every Saturday night on our way to the Skyway Drive-In over on Dickerson Pike.  In the 1970s, you went everywhere by car on Gallatin Pike; traffic was too dangerous to walk and no sidewalks.  I remember stopping at the Krystal where burgers were a nickel after shopping for groceries at the Cooper & Martin grocery where Walgreens is now.  The A& P grocery was over by East High School.  I remember before there was a NADC, their first buiding was an old Shoneys restaurant. In closing, I would like to show a couple of sad demolitions.  Evergreen, the historic estate of the country music star Jim Reeves  was adjacent to Briley Parkway on Gallatin Pike.  It was demolished for a Home Depot.  And over at the Edgefield end of Gallatin Pike on Main Street was Silverdene built in the early 1800s, fated to end up as a salvage junk store and burned in the 1990s.  Sad.  I think it stood on the site where Hotel Air BnB was built.  Well, I hope all of you new  folks who moved to Nashville after all this get some idea what it was like here before the turn of the century.  I would like to suggest that one or two of the other old natives on this list could share their remininises  of the area of Nashville they grew up in.

P.S.  I have added several more photos that I didn't have in the original post.  These are the added photos.  Two more photos of Silverdene on Main before it burned.   The ice house  next to McGinnis Drugs replaced with a KFC.  The supermarkets on Gallatin Pike towards town.   The A&P by East High, Ad for Cooper & Martin (Walgreens now on that site) and H.G.Hill (Now site of East nashville Publix project) .  The Krispy Kreme just north of H.G. Hill.
