Board of Zoning Appeals: approvals, denials and postponements — votes at a glance
Summary
The Board approved a consent agenda of five cases, granted a sign/driveway-related variance, approved a development setback variance, denied a final case for failure to prosecute, and postponed or withdrew several items. Details and vote tallies are listed.
The Metro Nashville Board of Zoning Appeals on October 2 handled a mix of consent items, variances and procedural motions. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda approved (6–0): five cases on the consent agenda were approved together. Those cases were: case 2025-80 (4510 Nevada — fence-height variance for Melissa Hardaway), case 2025-91 (142 Fane Street — street-setback variances for Mubarak Mohammed and Tamara Haggard), case 2025-93 (4104 Kinley Court — rear-setback variance for Jimmy Wooten to build a patio room), case 2025-95 (4320 Harding Pike — Hill Center at Bellemeade requesting street-setback variances to construct commercial buildings), and case 2025-96 (511 South Eighth Street — special exception for a day-care center for Katrina Hale and Nancy Webb Kelly / Methodist Church treasurers). The board’s approval of case 96 was conditioned on meeting a requirement placed by NDOT; staff said permit-level coordination would address the specific loading/access condition.
- Sign/driveway setback matter (case number not specified in transcript): approved (vote recorded 5–0). The applicant revised a drawing to show the sign would sit on private property and not encroach into a dedicated right-of-way; the board accepted the revised drawing and approved the request.
- Adagio Development/On the Horizon Homes (case 2025-90, 1100 Davidson Road): the board approved a variance from the contextual front-setback requirement (approved in view of lot depth, corner-lot constraints and mature trees the applicant proposed to preserve). Motion passed by voice vote (unanimous among members present for that item).
- Case denied for failure to prosecute (case 2025-97, 619 McGavitt Pike): applicant not present; board denied the application under its rules for failure to prosecute (motion carried by the board).
- Rehearings/postponements/withdrawals noted at start of meeting: a rehearing request was postponed until Oct. 2 at 1:00 p.m.; case 2020-592 (Ms. Melissa Swain, 2896 Landcrest Drive) was postponed to Oct. 2; and case 2025-94 (Madison Nashville Trinity, 325 — listed applicant) was withdrawn and removed from the day’s docket.
Several of the cases on the consent agenda were described by staff as uncontested (no opposition present) and recommended for approval; the board moved and seconded approval of the consent agenda which passed 6–0. For case 96 (the day-care special exception on South Eighth Street), staff noted the approval included compliance with a condition required by NDOT to be addressed during permitting.
Below are brief action records for each item reported during the meeting.
