The Cumberland Avenue Project division guides the City in the creation of a more inviting, vibrant and safe Cumberland Avenue that enhances the connections to the University of Tennessee and area employers and improves the residential and retail character of the district while effectively moving pedestrians, motor vehicles and bicycles.

A Cumberland Avenue Corridor Study, adopted by MPC on April 12, 2007 and by City Council on May 8, 2007, provides groundwork for the project.

FORM BASED CODE

The Cumberland Avenue Corridor Plan, adopted in 2007, calls for a Form Based Code (FBC) to implement the recommendations of the Urban Design Plan. Below is a draft of the Cumberland Avenue FBC that has been extensively reviewed and edited by MPC and City staff. The draft was presented at a public meeting on Nov. 12, 2009 and there will be a two month public comment period as the document is being reviewed by an independent consultant.
