Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND City Council APPROVE GC (General Commercial) designation.
This site is located at the southeastern side of the Westland Drive and I-140 interchange. For years the plans have never designated commercial in this area because of community resistance. However, public policy has recently shifted a recent plan amendment for GC in this area, the MPC case was 7-C-18-SP that changed this public policy.

Knoxville City Council referred the Sector Plan (1-A-18-SP), One Year Plan (10-A-18-PA) , and Rezoning (10-B-18-RZ) amendments back to MPC to consider less intense uses.
Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution # 10-A-18-SP, amending the Southwest County Sector Plan to GC (General Commercial) and recommend City Council also adopt the sector plan amendment.
