Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE RA (Low Density Residential) zoning on the north side of the driveway.

DENY R-1 (General Residential) zoning on the south side of the driveway.

The RA zone is compatible with the surrounding development and zoning pattern and consistent with the sector and One Year Plan proposals for the site. The portion of the site south of the driveway, requested for R-1 zoning, is smaller, more irregularly shaped and has steep slopes. It would require more extensive grading to develop. This area should remain zoned OS-1 to provide a buffer between the Academy and its access drive and the subdivision to the south. The RA recommended area is approximately 1 acre in size.
Disposition Summary
RECOMMEND the Knox County Commission APPROVE RA (Low Density Residential) zoning on the north side of the driveway only.
