Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE C-2 (Central Business) / H-1 (Historic Overlay) zoning with the attached design guidelines.
The 1898 Cal Johnson Building is significant because it is the only existing commercial/industrial building within the central business district constructed by a former slave. Cal Johnson is a significant figure in Knoxville History as a prominent business man and philanthropist. The building is also significant for its architecture as a simple Vernacular Commercial structure that contributes to the significance of the Gay Street National Register Historic District.
