Staff Recommendation

DENY Commercial plan designation because this change would lead to a strip commercial pattern along this section of Concord Road

---

Medium density residential development as proposed by the sector plan is more appropriate at this location than commercial uses. The property is in the Farragut Urban Growth area, although it is not now within the Farragut corporate limits. As outlined in the attached letter from the Farragut Town Planner, Ruth Hawk, this request is premature and should not be approved at this time. Currently, Concord Rd. is substandard and over capacity, conditions which would make the subject property inappropriate for the commercial uses as proposed. The road is scheduled to be widened to five lanes at this location, and until these improvements are made, a change from medium density residential to commercial should not be considered..
