Staff Recommendation
APPROVE Scenic Drive NC-1 (Neighborhood Conservation Overlay) and Design Guidelines.
On Tuesday, June 6, the Knoxville City Council recognized an effort made by some Scenic Drive property owners seeking to avoid having their properties included in a Neighborhood Conservation Overlay. This group of owners signed ?Notice of Intent? documents agreeing to restrict their individual properties with deed restrictions in exchange for being removed from the proposed NC-1 designation. City Council then referred the rezoning petition it had filed on behalf of the Sequoyah Hills neighborhood/Scenic Drive to MPC for reconsideration, finding that the exclusion of thirty-three properties from the original petition substantially altered the rezoning request, and merited additional review by MPC.
The Scenic Drive area of Sequoyah Hills neighborhood has been approved by the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission as an area of historical and architectural significance. The Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) review was requested by Knoxville City Council.
