Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION # 2-A-18-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to O (Office) and recommend that County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment. (See attached resolution, Exhibit A.) (Applicant requested GC.)
Staff recognizes that the property may not be desirable for low density residential uses, but there is adequate CA zoning to the west that is undeveloped. Office uses would be more compatible with nearby residential uses and are not as likely to generate as much traffic or have late business hours. An office designation would allow consideration of OB zoning, which would allow office, medium density residential or any number of other similar uses, giving the applicant reasonable use of the property.
Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution # 2-A-18-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to O (Office) and recommend the Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment.
