The city finally backed off the rezoning proposal and we successfully protected our neighborhood from this overdevelopment. I feel completely drained after this fight but the outcome makes the long nights worth it. We still have to keep an eye on future projects to ensure they do not try to …

We the undersigned, Petition the City of Brentwood Tennessee to:


1. Deny or Delay vote on rezoning for The Streets of Brentwood in order to reduce allowable density of C4 and to reduce the proposed density of this project which is nearly 1 million sq. ft. on 17 acres (new Music City convention center is 1.2million on 16 acres). Delay will allow further study of this high-density proposal containing hotel, apartments, offices, and retail and its impact on streets, schools (with Tapestry 150 additional children), utilities, and city infrastructure. The 250 apartments should be removed since there are 393 rentals at Tapestry under construction in Kroger Center next to Office Depot. If included there will be 643 apartments in the heart of Brentwood.

2. In addition the city needs to conduct a comprehensive Traffic Study independent from studies initiated by the developers of Tapestry, Synergy, or Streets of Brentwood. Comprehensive needs to include Franklin Rd, Maryland Way/Church S.t, Old Hickory Blvd, Granny White, Murray Ln, & I65 interchange.

3. Protect adjoining Neighborhood by including special restrictions identified by the neighbors and presented to the commissioners. Restrictions must be in place prior to the zoning approval vote.

The city remains quiet regarding our requests for an independent traffic study. It is grueling work to keep pushing against these developments, but the risk to our neighborhood streets is simply too high to walk away now.

The infrastructure literally cannot handle this. Fix the roads first before even thinking about building more stuff.

Brentwood is losing its charm fast. 1 million sq ft is way too much for that spot. slow down and look at the real impact on our schools

Traffic is already a nightmare around here. We dont need more apartments adding to the gridlock. Stop this now.

RIDICULOUS density. Who approved this??? Brentwood isnt a big city and shouldnt be treated like one.
