Staff recommends an extension of the LI (Light Industrial) designation from west. The applicant originally requested a sector plan amendment to HI (Heavy Industrial). However, after having discussions with the applicant,staff and the applicant are more comfortable with LI, a designation that still permits I-3 zoning.

Case History

This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

  • Encouraging greater transit use,
  • Reducing automobile use,
  • Maximizing existing infrastructure
  • Reducing emissions, and
  • Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
