The developer pulled the plug and the whole project at the church site is officially dead. I am honestly still in shock that we actually stopped it because I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but for right now we really won this fight. Keep your eyes peeled …

Franklin-based Bristol Developmental Group is in talks with Tabernacle Baptist Church to buy the church’s 1.87-acre property near the entrance to the 12 S. neighborhood and develop a-contextually inappropriate apartment community there. The sale is contingent on a zoning variance that would allow Bristol to build a158 unit 3 story luxury rental apartment project there without any retail or restaurantd.
The project that’s been presented is unacceptable to the community and the residents upon which the density-related problems would be imposed. Unbearable traffic and congestion, lost access to a crucial neighborhood alley, and scale/density built out of synch with the existing neighborhood are crucial demerits of the project. Community surveys show the clear majority of respondents want commercial/retail elements of new development in 12South to support a true walking community — and this project proposes none.
Metro’s Planning Commission is approving SP changes so frequently that these exceptions are becoming the rule. Let Metro Planning Commissioners know, along with Council representative Sandra Moore, that this project has not garnered your support, and this SP variance is not good for your neighborhood.
Please sign this petition to keep this Bristol/TBC project out of 12 S.
Bristol Development at the Tabernacle Church on 12 South NEXT MEETING: THURSDAY, MARCH 26th at 4:00PM
We respect and support the Tabernacle Baptist Church’s right to sell their property and move to a different location, but we do not support the zoning change required, the development company proposing this project, and the massive traffic increase this development will cause. The Bristol Development Group has 2 large-scale “luxury” complexes in Nashville, The Velocity in the Gulch and Bristol West End, which have serious structural issues, resulting in “friendly foreclosure,” lawsuit, and lost equity for homeowners.
Other Serious Issues that have not been addressed re: this project
Risk involved with underground blasting on 4 surrounding residential street homes
Development surrounded by 5 streets of single family residential homes
Impact on an already difficult traffic flow through 12th South with no lights or stop signs
12th South neighborhood survey results showed residents are against strictly residential development on 12th and want more restaurants and retail
Entrance and exit of this development will further back up traffic and directly impact Ashwood and Linden Avenues.
Use of alley as a one way street will impact access to the garages of all 11th Avenue South Residents
Already decreased water pressure and sewage on surrounding streets with recent construction
Apartment complexes without retail/restaurants decrease home values
Please join with us in opposing The Bristol 12th South development as it currently stands on 4/23/15 at 4pm at 700 2nd Avenue at the Sonny West Conference Center! Please sign up to speak as we have 2 minutes each. This is crucial in stopping this development.
WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:
ATTEND THE PLANNING Meeting 4/23/15 AND PREPARE A 2 MINUTE SPEECH for metro planning in regards to why you oppose this project. It’s crucial to have as many residents present and speaking against it.

I was just looking at the count and saw we are creeping up on that next milestone which honestly feels wild because it really is just a bunch of neighbors trying to keep our block from becoming some generic concrete box. If everyone reading this could just send the link to a couple other people in the area who might be annoyed by the traffic situation it would probably give us the push we need to get noticed before the planning meeting really kicks off.

I am not opposed to density; however, I believe developments should be more sensitive to scale, context & quality. Also, I support Mixed use...some retail with LOCALLY owned businesses in the building. And some affordable housing units, esp with a project of this size and nature.
I live one block off 12south and the traffic congestion is nuts already. I attended this meeting and there are way too many problems to let this one go thru.
Rezoning of this property to solely residential use only will put too many residences on the foot print. The property should stay mixed use and smaller scale as this is the look for our neighborhood.
Please do not continue to do this, I live on the alley adjacent to this build, the congestion is already horrible, and destructive to the neighborhoods infrastructure. No concern on the part of local council for the current residents of this village. Its despicable.
please do NOT ALLOW ANY MORE Apt buildings on 12 south. we have too much traffic already! the charm that put 12 South in the NY TImes & other national media is going to become a place that tourists & Nashvillians avoid because the traffic congestion makes it too much of a hastle!
I will be closing on a property on 11th that backs to this project and deeply oppose it

Stop approving SP variances like they are impact-free. This community cannot absorb the traffic you are approving (forcing) through these oversized projects. Also, residential developments without retail/commercial components is faulty urban design.
