A proposal to build nearly 200 homes on Brick Church Lane against I-24 and Briley Parkway will be decided at the Planning Commission Meeting Thursday, May 13th. Please help us stop this development and urge Metro Planning to enforce the Metro Code, Nashville Next policy, and subdivision regulations by disapproving this proposal. The proposal is too dense, even for T3NE policy, and does not reflect the rural character of the surrounding homes. There are also several safety concerns for the property.
