DTC Bonus Height Program Amendment Survey

Introduction

The Metro Nashville Planning Department has drafted an amendment to the Downtown Code’s Bonus Height Program (BHP), which was last updated in 2010. The BHP allows projects to earn additional building height beyond the base entitlements in exchange for incorporating identified public benefits.

The purpose of this draft BHP amendment is to better align the program with the Department's current and future goals for downtown Nashville. Click here to review a summary of the amendment. Click here to review the full text of the amendment.
