La Vergne Public Hearing (Audio only) - 10/06/26

The City of La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen held a public hearing on October 6, 2026, covering two zoning matters. Ordinance 2026-17 would amend Chapters 4 and 5 of the zoning ordinance regarding planning areas and development standards; the Planning Commission had recommended approval on July 28. The second item was a proposed rezoning on Old Nashville Highway from R-2 mixed residential to R-3 high-density residential, for which the Planning Commission had made an unfavorable recommendation on August 25. No vote or final decision is reflected in the transcript.

Public comments on the rezoning raised concerns about traffic, loss of green space, school capacity, utilities, and potential effects on nearby property values, with one resident supporting the proposal and citing the developer’s outreach and planned buffers. A developer representative said they would consider a less-dense alternative for part of the site and discussed the high cost of widening Old Nashville Highway. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
