Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the development plan for a church complex containing 2 buildings, to be built in 2 phases, totaling approximately 36,722 square feet, subject to the following 9 conditions.
1. Obtaining approval from the Tennessee Technology Corridor Development Authority (TTCDA) for the proposed development.
2. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the utility provider.
3. Installation of all landscaping as shown on development plan within six months of the issuance of an occupancy permit, or posting a bond with the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works to guarantee such installation.
4. Installation of all sidewalks as identified on the concept plan. Sidewalks shall meet all applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works. Sidewalks connecting those along the right-of-way with those at the church entry may be required by the Knox County Engineering Department during the permitting review stage and would be coordinated at that time. Knox County Engineering reserves the right to waive the sidewalks due to the steep topography if found to be unreasonable to install.
5. Meeting all other applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
6. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Fire Marshall?s office.
8. Meeting all applicable requirements and obtaining all required permits from the Tennessee Department of Health.
9. Any proposed signage will be required to meet all applicable requirements of the TTCDA.

With the conditions noted, this plan meets the requirements for approval of a church in the PC district which requires approval as a use on review.
Disposition Summary
APPROVE the development plan for a church complex containing 2 buildings, to be built in 2 phases, totaling approximately 36,722 square feet, subject to the following 9 conditions.
