Planned Unit Developments are detailed plans for relatively large areas of land. Currently, Nashville uses Specific Plan Districts and Zoning Overlays in place of Planned Unit Developments.
Applications and Fees
To submit an application, you first need an account on the planning portal. See instructions on how to create a portal account. Paper applications are not accepted at the Planning Front Counter. All applications must be submitted through the portal.
Please note that the deadlines listed in the submittal schedule are for fee payments. All documents must be in the portal by noon 24 hours prior to the fee deadline. Documents will not be processed on the fee deadline itself.
Fees are due by noon on the deadline date and may be paid either by check at the front counter or by phone using a credit card (2.3 percent).
Questions for Planning
Please complete the pre-application form and send to planningstaff@nashville.gov. A planner will typically respond to you via email within a week. If your project is more complex, the assigned planner may present your inquiry at an internal planning meeting to provide more comprehensive feedback. Should the planner determine that your project requires this review, it may take additional time to receive feedback.
Please be as thorough as possible when filling out the form. All inquiries should include a graphic representation of your project, except for questions related to rezoning to an established zone. A planner will respond to you via email.
