NASHVILLE - The Metro Council on Oct. 6 passed on second reading two bills that would change property to IWD zoning, according to the council's meeting minutes. Both were approved by voice vote after public hearings at which no one spoke.

Bill BL2026-1549 would rezone about 36.5 acres from AR2a to IWD on Owen Drive and Old Hickory Boulevard, about 122 feet northwest of Firestone Parkway. The land is within a Planned Unit Development overlay (Proposal No. 2026Z-058PR-001).

BL2026-1561 would change a 0.18-acre lot on Haynie Avenue, about 1,800 feet west of Brick Church Pike, from R8 to IWD (Proposal No. 2026Z-050PR-001).

The minutes show both bills were referred to the Planning and Zoning Committee. They still need third-reading votes. The minutes do not name an applicant or a planned use.
