Real Estate Resources FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

  • SP is short for “Specific Plan” District, which is a zoning district. These are a tool that helps create flexibility in development that also should meet the objectives of NashvilleNext, and are sensitive to surrounding areas.

    SPs are NOT subject to traditional zoning districts’ land use and design standards. Instead, permitted uses and design elements like height, size, setbacks, buffers, signage and materials, are determined for specific development. Developers using SP zoning must still follow historic and redevelopment guidelines, subdivision, and stormwater regulations.
