About the Plan
The Antioch/Priest Lake Community Plan is part of the NashvilleNext long-range plan. Periodically, amendments that include supplemental policy guidance may be adopted by the Planning Commission. Supplemental policies and additional studies are found below under Related Plan Documents.
All of the Planning Department's fourteen Community Plans are guided by the Community Character Manual, a document which provides detailed policy guidance based on the look and feel of neighborhoods, centers, corridors and open spaces.

Murfreesboro Pike/Bell Road Area

Planners developed Fact Sheets focused on six topic areas based on community priorities:
- Pedestrian Zone

- Streets
- Natural Environment
- Open Space
- Built Environment
There is also a Supplemental Policy which calls for any rezoning to be to Specific Plan (SP) for key properties around the Murfreesboro Pike/Bell Road intersection in order to provide needed infrastructure and quality design. In addition, the study will assist in prioritizing requests for the Capital Improvements Budget and focus on streetscape improvements to foster mobility options, improve safety, and provide beautification.
