The committee first read a long consent calendar containing numerous resolutions and bills (listed in the meeting materials and read into the record). After a short removal process, the chair called for a vote on the remaining consent items; the clerk recorded the consent calendar as recommended 8 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting at that time. A separate “consent to defer” package (items 15, 16, 24 and 25) was approved to defer one meeting; the clerk announced that consent to defer carried 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting.

Councilmember Coopin successfully removed RS20251142 from the consent calendar earlier in the meeting; later that item (listed on the agenda as a resolution approving an intergovernmental agreement between the Metropolitan Government and the East Bank Development Authority) was considered as a separate item and the mover asked for a one‑meeting deferral so the East Bank Committee could discuss it. The committee voted to defer RS20251142 one meeting so the East Bank Committee can take it up; the clerk recorded that motion as 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting.

Several items that had been pulled or were not on consent were then taken up. RS20251143 (an amendment to a lease agreement by and between Metro Board of Education and Connexion Americas) was withdrawn by its sponsor.

The committee advanced multiple companion zoning bills and specific‑plan items with amendments. Highlights include:

- River North urban design overlay (BL2025‑7‑56 and BL2025‑7‑57): Councilmember Coopin introduced an amendment described as administrative tweaks developed with current property owners to allow existing projects to continue; the amendment passed and the companion bills were approved as amended (clerk recorded 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting).

- Valley View Road specific plan (BL2025‑7‑58 and BL2025‑7‑59): Councilmember Johnston’s amendment removed four private drives from the development per planning and traffic advice; the amendment passed and the bills were approved as amended (9–0 recorded).

- 2908 Twelfth Avenue South SP (BL2025‑7‑62 and BL2025‑7‑63): Councilmember Cash offered an amendment that would require a valet plan for anticipated restaurant use and enumerated other SP conditions; the amendment passed and the bills were approved as amended (9–0 recorded).

Each of these companion bills was moved, amended in committee, and then approved by voice vote; the clerk recorded unanimous favorable recommendations (9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting) for the bills as amended. Committee members described the amendments as administrative or clarifying changes worked out with property owners, planning staff and applicants.

Nut graf: The meeting cleared a broad slate of routine engineering agreements, utility and roadway items on consent while using committee time to work through several substantive zoning‑and‑design items with narrowly tailored amendments developed with stakeholders. The East Bank intergovernmental agreement was deferred so the East Bank Committee can consider it first.

Ending: With the listed amendments adopted and the deferrals recorded, the committee chair closed the meeting; final votes on the measures will be reflected in the council’s next full‑council agenda and in committee reports.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04/14/25 Metropolitan Council Committee: Planning & Zoning","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning & Zoning Committee cleared a broad consent calendar, deferred an intergovernmental East Bank agreement to the East Bank Committee, and approved several companion zoning and building-material bills with unanimous or near‑unanimous votes and specific amendments.","taxTitle","Planning & Zoning Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",69309,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6074075,"Committee approves purchase of former Wendy's site for Hadley Park library; neighbor Samaritan Ministries raises relocation concerns",1995,18925,2014540,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987967-469e8b75ab518a7c5d7ee7f1981aeb62&start=18&end=2014","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987967-469e8b75ab518a7c5d7ee7f1981aeb62/thumbnail_18925.jpg","/articles/6074075/Tennessee/Committee-approves-purchase-of-former-Wendys-site-for-Hadley-Park-library-neighbor-Samaritan-Ministries-raises-relocation-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074075-e8d7ebb479e365199f5de4cac67d1ec2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771151791&Signature=g4uXMwDPl-ZUcxAkCQWTjYHGjpJPK0H9KQLOYcTuolFe5wJM5WpAvqwhM~5vnC9VQ6k37pI-YS9bUCZAf5wbnbiDmjKyfLtRWXdJcm~xlCdg350uoC2jUL7Ka-~JVrZBfMFXQVQAEki4usCcarh5O1RfpDHyv8OsRj2c9IzTaoP0IGSWY41dLMP~a35ul3bfxAlIiSf3QdFCJuOGFSIow-nQoqeoyF3vo1lqXDl1~CHW66g0lVIWtFj-5FxmfO8xAyyeQRHhp5XwE1Wb-PXAWe~rKIySa99uknCrmjce1Ebg43vxdo3WggPZci4UP6OFsDzWzE8JuBoj1m9DS3GJ2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning & Zoning Committee of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County on April 14 approved a resolution to purchase a half‑acre parcel for use in connection with construction of a new Nashville Public Library branch at Hadley Park and discussed community concerns about Samaritan Ministries, which is adjacent to the proposed site.

Public commenter Steve Reiter told the committee that Samaritan Ministries “serve[s] a meal to the vulnerable on a regular basis” and said he was concerned the ministry would be “sandwiched between the existing library and this new piece of property that Metro was acquiring.” Reiter asked the committee to ensure Samaritan Ministries could continue providing services in North Nashville and noted a closing date “for later this month,” suggesting Metro could seek an extension if needed.

Councilmember Greg Porterfield moved approval of RS20251149, the purchase agreement for the parcel listed in the resolution. Metro Legal attorney Tom Cross explained the measure: “the purchase is for construction of a new library. It’s the purchase sale agreement that is the subject of the resolution,” and he said the agreement includes a provision allowing Metro to terminate the agreement if the city is not able to obtain an additional necessary lot.

Councilmember Allen asked what would happen to the property now occupied by the ministry and whether the project would use all three lots in the area; Cross said the project would “be incorporated into this into the project” and later stated, “they are actively looking for another site,” describing Samaritan Ministries’ ongoing search. Allen urged support for contingency language to ensure the ministry “stay[s] in the community.”

The committee voted to approve RS20251149, the purchase-sale agreement for the half‑acre parcel located in the resolution’s caption (listed in the meeting materials as “104520 Eighth Avenue North”), by voice vote; the clerk announced the motion carried 9 in favor, 0 against, 0 not voting.

Nut graf: The approval advances Metro’s plan to build a new Hadley Park library branch while highlighting an immediate local concern—preserving services provided by Samaritan Ministries to vulnerable residents. Committee members and Metro Legal described contract language and contingency options intended to limit disruption, but the organization’s relocation plans remain a key issue for neighborhood stakeholders.

The file approved by the committee contains a termination contingency tied to acquiring an additional adjacent lot; Metro staff and legal said that contingency could be invoked if the related property is not secured. Steve Reiter said he planned to attend the library board meeting to seek more information. The committee did not adopt any motion that would force a specific relocation plan for Samaritan Ministries; instead members recorded that the ministry is “actively looking for another site” and expressed support for minimizing service disruption.

Ending: The resolution moves forward after committee approval; the transcript records Councilmember Porterfield’s sponsorship and Metro Legal’s explanation. The library board was scheduled to meet shortly after the committee; council members asked staff to continue coordination so Samaritan Ministries’ services can continue while the library project proceeds.","The Planning & Zoning Committee approved a resolution to buy a half-acre parcel for a new Hadley Park branch of the Nashville Public Library, while a public commenter urged the committee to ensure Samaritan Ministries—an adjacent organization that serves meals to vulnerable residents—can continue operations.","actionData","errors"]
