General Development and Transportation Plan Amendment (PDF)
Nashville Pike Corridor SR109 to East Camp Creek
In response to the increasing development pressures along Nashville Pike, and the rapid growth of this corridor, the City of Gallatin Municipal-Regional Planning Commission initiated a review of the General Development Plan for the Nashville Pike corridor from State Route 109 to East Camp Creek. The General Development Plan identifies this area as being suitable for mixed-use developments; however, the mixed-use policy excludes commercial uses. The mixed-use areas were designed to respond to the likely pressure for intensified zoning along the major transportation route, while at the same time, preserving the residential character and "gateway" effect along this corridor.
