Southeast Davidson greenfield context for Courtyards at Battle Grove — illustrative only.

Metro Nashville’s Planning Commission meets Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. in the Sonny West Conference Center at 700 President Ronald Reagan Way with Item 1 — 2026SP-023-001, Courtyards at Battle Grove — asking to rezone 82.37 acres at 1010 and 1002 Battle Road, about 298 feet north of Kidd Road, from Agricultural/Residential (AR2a) to Specific Plan to permit 112 single-family lots. Staff recommends deferring the case to Oct. 22, 2026 after prior deferrals on May 14, June 25, July 23, Aug. 13, and Aug. 27 with no public hearing held.

The staff report lists Barge Design Solutions as applicant and Janette and Ronald J. Haislip as owners. Council District is 33 (Lee). School District is 02 (Elrod). Map references include Map 187, Parcels 015 and 035. The public hearing status on the agenda is open, but staff’s recommendation is another deferral, not approval with conditions.

What is Courtyards at Battle Grove on Metro’s Sept. 10 Planning Commission agenda?

Item 1, case 2026SP-023-001, is a request to rezone from AR2a to Specific Plan zoning for properties at 1010 and 1002 Battle Road, about 298 feet north of Kidd Road, totaling 82.37 acres, to permit 112 single-family residential lots. Barge Design Solutions is the applicant; Janette and Ronald J. Haislip are listed as owners. Council District 33 (Antoinette Lee).

Five prior deferrals without a public hearing means southeast Davidson owners should track the calendar, not invent a groundbreaking. An SP for 112 single-family lots on 82.37 acres is a large greenfield ask next to Kidd Road and Battle Road. It still needs a Planning Commission recommendation and Metro Council readings before lots of record appear. Do not treat a Sept. 10 agenda line as a plat stamp.

AR2a to SP is the classic Nashville path for master-planned single-family product outside the older urban grid. The useful seller question is whether Oct. 22 finally opens the hearing or produces another deferral. Either way, closed comps — not a deferred SP — set list price in Antioch, Cane Ridge, and neighboring southeast corridors.

Staff recommends deferring the case to the Oct. 22, 2026 Planning Commission meeting. The staff report notes prior deferrals on May 14, June 25, July 23, Aug. 13, and Aug. 27, 2026, with no public hearing held yet.

For a Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, or Spring Hill owner deciding whether to list this fall, Battle Grove is regional inventory context. One hundred twelve lots do not hit the MLS the week of a deferral. If a buyer asks about “new construction flooding southeast Nashville,” hand them the staff report’s deferral history instead of a rumor that grading starts next Monday.

Is a deferred SP the same as approval for 112 lots near Kidd Road?

No. A deferral keeps the case alive without approving the SP, issuing permits, or creating lots of record. Metro Council readings would still follow any future Planning Commission recommendation. Treat Sept. 10 as process tape, not a closed-sale signal.

Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, as of Sept. 3, 2026, put the 30-year fixed at 6.71%. A few basis points will not reprice a Davidson County house the way a full point would. Waiting for that full point while other Nashville sellers list into the same rate band is a different decision than watching whether Courtyards at Battle Grove finally gets a public hearing on Oct. 22.

What else on the Sept. 10 MPC agenda should Nashville owners track?

The same agenda includes a 930 McFerrin Avenue SP amendment to permit 12 detached accessory dwelling units with a staff approval recommendation, several smaller rezonings on consent, a Ridgeview UDO assisted-living amendment marked withdraw, and a Wasioto Bend Major and Collector Street Plan amendment deferred toward Sept. 24.

What's happening in Nashville this week

Thursday, Sept. 10, 4:00 p.m. — Metro Planning Commission, Sonny West Conference Center (Courtyards at Battle Grove deferral ask; McFerrin 12-DADU SP amendment; consent rezonings).
Thursday, Sept. 24, 4:00 p.m. — Next regular MPC meeting on the published calendar (Wasioto Bend MCSP item currently pointed this direction).
Thursday, Oct. 22, 4:00 p.m. — Staff’s recommended deferral target for 2026SP-023-001.

You can write the offer on the next Nashville house. A contingent contract on a Davidson County clock is still a maybe when the next seller already has a buyer who is not waiting on an Oct. 22 SP hearing. Our proven system puts a written sale date under this house so the next offer is a real buyer. If you need a date certain, ask about a cash offer. The two-house trap did not change because Battle Grove is on the Sept. 10 agenda again.

What should Nashville and southeast Davidson owners do this week?

Read the Sept. 10 agenda and staff report before the 4:00 p.m. hearing at the Sonny West Conference Center, 700 President Ronald Reagan Way. Calendar the Oct. 22 deferral target if the Commission follows staff. Price to closed comps. Start with a free home evaluation at kingsofrealestate.com/l/home-evaluation/ or ask about a cash offer.

Keep the paper trail tight: case 2026SP-023-001, 112 lots, 82.37 acres, 1010/1002 Battle Road, five prior deferrals, staff ask for Oct. 22. That summary beats a social post claiming the subdivision is “approved.” If the Commission opens the hearing instead of deferring, update your buyer FAQ with the actual motion. If it defers again, calendar Oct. 22 and move on with pricing to live comps.

Owners near Kidd Road, Battle Road, and the broader southeast Davidson fringe should also skim the McFerrin Avenue 12-DADU amendment on the same agenda if East Nashville product mix is part of their buyer conversations. Different geography, same Sept. 10 tape — cite the case you actually mean.
