BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:

Section 1. That Subsection 17.40.720.D of the Metropolitan Code is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

D. 1. For the subject property and all properties within one thousand feet of the subject property, notification shall also be mailed to the known address of the properties and any dwelling unit located on the property.

The signage shall comply with the requirements of subsections 17.40.730.B, 17.40.730.C.3, and 17.40.730.D and must be positioned in a manner to best inform the public residing at the multi-tenant property without creating a safety hazard.

Section 2. The Metropolitan Clerk is directed to publish a notice announcing such change in a newspaper of general circulation within five days following final passage.

Section 3. This Ordinance shall take effect on January 1, 2028, the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County requiring it.
