From the Metro Planning Department:
The
Planning Department is currently working with Economic & Planning
Systems, which will conduct a feasibility study to identify appropriate
policy direction. The feasibility study will guide the Planning
Department in creating regulations and tools. The Planning Commission
will make recommendations to the Council on those regulations and tools
Nashville's goal in commissioning this study is to understand the
practical options for structuring a locally-relevant inclusionary
housing policy based on a comprehensive and detailed economic and policy
analysis of inclusionary housing policy options.
The
Inclusionary Housing Feasibility and Policy Study will include public
input, centered on a Stakeholders Group comprised of developers, lenders
and housing advocates.
The
first Stakeholders Group meeting will be held on Monday, October 12 at
5:30 pm in the Sonny West Conference Center of the Howard Office
Building at 700 2nd Ave South.
My Comment: This is late notice but if anyone can attend and speak against inclusionary zoning please do so. As a citizens and taxpayers of Nashville we are all stakeholders. You can be sure that groups like NOAH, The Neighborhood Resource Center, and liberal ministers and civil rights advocates will be speaking in favor of a strict inclusionary zoning policy. Members of the Planning Commission need to hear both sides of the issue.
