Memo To: MDHA

From: Metropolitan Nashville Planning Department

Date: June 26, 2017

Re: Planning Commission Recommendation for PILOT Agreement

This memo fulfills the Planning Commission obligations as outlined in the MDHA Housing Tax Credit

PILOT Program General Program Description, which was attached as Exhibit A to BL2016-435. The

memo consists of two parts.

PART I: RECOMMENDATION ON GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY

Project: Oakwood Flats (0 Oakwood Avenue) 280 multi-family units – Applying for LIHTC

All units proposed income and rent restricted at 60% AMI

Zoning: SP-MU (Specific Plan-Mixed Use) is a zoning district category that provides for additional

flexibility of design, including the relationship of streets to buildings, to provide the ability to

implement the specific details of the General Plan. This Specific Plan allowed uses permitted by the

MUG-A (Mixed Use General-Alternative) zoning district with a maximum of 1,000 residential units.

The proposed project covers a portion of the property within the approved SP. No final site plan has

been submitted at this time.

Land Use Policy: Conservation (CO) is intended to preserve environmentally sensitive land features

through protection and remediation. CO policy applies in all Transect Categories except T1 Natural,

T5 Center, and T6 Downtown. CO policy identifies land with sensitive environmental features

including, but not limited to, steep slopes, floodway/floodplains, rare or special plant or animal

habitats, wetlands and unstable or problem soils. The guidance for preserving or enhancing these

features varies with what Transect they are in and whether or not they have already been disturbed.

District Employment Center (D EC) is intended to enhance and create concentrations of employment

that are often in a campus-like setting. A mixture of office and commercial uses are present, but are

not necessarily vertically mixed. Light industrial uses may also be present in appropriate locations

with careful attention paid to building form, site design and operational performance standards to

ensure compatibility with other uses in and adjacent to the D EC area. Secondary and supportive uses

such as convenience retail, restaurants, and services for the employees and medium to high density

residential are also present.

615.862.7209

Major and Collector Street Plan: Oakwood Avenue is a local street. Primary access to the site will be

from Oakwood Avenue. A secondary emergency only access is proposed from Pittway Avenue, also a

local street.

Project Details: The project consists of a mixture of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom multi-family residential units.

A total of 497 parking spaces are provided onsite, exceeding the requirements of the Metro Zoning Code.

The buildings are 3-story/4-story split buildings, allowing for the design to work with the existing grades

of the property. The height as proposed has not been reviewed for consistency with the preliminary

Specific Plan as no final site plan has been submitted at this time. Therefore, the height may need to be

adjusted. There are 21 single-family lots proposed along the Oakwood Avenue frontage. The single-

family lots are not a part of the PILOT review.

Planning Department Analysis: Multi-family residential is an allowed use under the approved Specific

Plan zoning. The District Employment Center policy also supports the development of multi-family

residential units within the context of the larger District. The site is in close proximity to Ellington

Parkway and Trinity Lane, providing for easy vehicular access to the site. Additionally, there is an

existing MTA bus stop located approximately 700 feet north of the project access at the intersection of

Oakwood Avenue and Slaydon Drive. Staff is recommending that a sidewalk be installed from the project

entrance to the intersection of Oakwood Avenue and Slaydon Drive to provide for a direct connection for

future residents to the existing transit.

Planning Determination: The use is consistent, in concept, with the approved Specific Plan zoning of

the property and is also consistent with the policy for the area. A final site plan is required for approval

for the Specific Plan, prior to the issuance of any permits. The site plan will be reviewed for compliance

with the approved preliminary Specific Plan.

Conditions

1. Provide a sidewalk along Oakwood Avenue from the project entrance to the intersection of Oakwood

Avenue and Slaydon Drive.

2. A final site plan complying with all standards of the approved preliminary Specific Plan must be

submitted for review and approval prior to the issuance of any permits. Final determinations on

building height and needed traffic improvements will be made at that time.
