DETAILS ABOUT THE PROJECT

The owner, Ed Ewing wants to develop a 65-acre $2.5 billion development on West Trinity Lane called Riverside featuring five million square feet of residential, office restaurant and retail space in 20-story buildings with 25 acres of green space accessing downtown by water taxis. 

There have been conversations between the development team with a small group of community members in the past few months. Requests to developers have included restaurants, retail, activity space for kids, event space, incorporation of the history of the community, green spaces, fishing, launch area for canoes and kayaks, and wayfinding (detailed signage).

Recently, the developer has asked for 20-story building heights. Since the current land use policy doesn’t include this, they will need to seek approval from the Metro Planning Commission. The Planning staff and our Councilwoman, Kyonzte Toombs want input from our community.

Be sure and email your thoughts to Ms. Ranseen at the Metro Planning Department and copy Councilwoman Kyonzte Toombs.

A LIttle History: Many of you will remember when several hundred of us gathered at Born Again Church for the 2017 community plan update for the Haynes-Trinity area. We designed a plan for coming development all along West Trinity Lane, and put in some safeguards for the surrounding neighborhoods. We told the Metro Planning department we wanted more development on the Riverfront to attract small businesses, restaurants and other amenities. Most of us were in support of 3-5 story residential buildings on West Trinity and we’ve been watching it slowly happen ever since. 

What They Want: The developers are asking us for a change in the land use policy because they want more density than what is currently allowed. Planning uses the term “Transects” which is simply a designation of the type of areas ranging from T2 (Rural) to T6 (downtown). Currently most of West Trinity Lane is T4 and the developer wants to change it to T5 (or add a supplemental policy to T4- this option needs lots more explanation). Pay attention to this: Planning describes T5 below as an “areas intended to be among the most intense areas in Davidson county. The only area more dense in Nashville is downtown. 

What is our Future? This development will set the stage for everything that is built around it in the coming years. It is likely that many of our historic neighborhoods will look completely different in 20 years. There are some folks that want to sell their properties for as much money as they can, and that’s their right. Others want to live here for the rest of their lives and have their children inherit their property because they love the existing community. Which are you? We need to show up and let the Planning Dept know what we want.

Think about our Goals as a Community: We asked for development that incorporates a mix of residential mixed-income apartments and condos — along with small retail and some commercial and office spaces that will provide complement the neighborhoods. We want to encourage small minority-owned businesses to flourish and provide employment to the existing community. Will high-rise or skyscrapers buildings accomplish those goals? Do we want our community to be affordable for its current residents? Do we want to look like the Gulch or West End’s Midtown or the more modest Charlotte Pike? 
 
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:

T4 Center Transect

T4 Urban Neighborhood Center (T4 NC) – Intended to preserve, enhance, and create urban neighborhood centers that serve urban neighborhoods that are generally within a 5 minute walk. T4 NC areas are pedestrian-friendly areas generally located at intersections of urban streets that contain commercial, mixed use, residential, and institutional land uses. Infrastructure and transportation networks may be enhanced to improve pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular connectivity.

T4 Urban Residential Corridor (T4 RC) – Intended to preserve, enhance, and create urban residential corridors. T4 RC areas are located along prominent arterial-boulevard or collector-avenue corridors that are served by multiple modes of transportation and are designed and operated to enable safe, attractive, and comfortable access and travel for all users. T4 RC areas provide high access management and are served by moderately-connected street networks, sidewalks, bikeways, and existing or planned mass transit.

T4 Urban Mixed Use Corridor (T4 CM) – Intended to enhance urban mixed use corridors by encouraging a greater mix of higher density residential and mixed use development along the corridor, placing commercial uses at intersections with residential uses between intersections; creating buildings that are compatible with the general character of urban neighborhoods; and a street design that moves vehicular traffic efficiently while accommodating sidewalks, bikeways, and mass transit.

T5 Center Transect

T5 Center Mixed Use Neighborhood (T5 MU) – Intended to preserve, enhance, and create high-intensity urban mixed use neighborhoods with a development pattern that contains a diverse mix of residential and non-residential land uses. T5 MU areas are intended to be among the most intense areas in Davidson County. T5 MU areas include some of Nashville’s major employment centers such as Midtown that represent several sectors of the economy, including health care, finance, retail, the music industry, and lodging. T5 MU areas also include locations that are planned to evolve to a similar form and function.

T6 Downtown Transect

T6 Downtown Capitol (T6 CP) – Intended to preserve and enhance the existing city, regional, and state civic buildings and the overall T6 CP area and create a vibrant mixture of supporting uses. The T6 CP area contains numerous civic facilities from the State Capitol and Metro City Hall to courts, museums, and theatres as well as various government offices in buildings ranging from historic buildings to modern skyscrapers. Amidst civic and government buildings are mixed use and residential buildings.

T6 Downtown Neighborhood (T6 DN) – Intended to preserve, enhance, and create diverse Downtown neighborhoods that are compatible with the general character of surrounding historic developments and the envisioned character of new Downtown development, while fostering appropriate transitions from less intense areas of Downtown neighborhoods to the more intense Downtown Core policy area. T6 DN areas contain high density residential and mixed use development.
