Staff Recommendation
DENY the requested MU-UC (Mixed Use Urban Corridor) One Year Plan designation.
There is no justification to amend the One Year Plan at this location. The MU-UC designation is for properties fronting on or associated with Western Ave. to the north. This site is a stand-alone site located on two substandard streets that should be maintained as part of the existing mixed use special district. See attached except from sector plan with description of the MU-SD (MU-CC14). This district recommends light industrial, office and general commercial uses only. The proposed use for this site is for residential.

This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:
- Encouraging greater transit use,
- Reducing automobile use,
- Maximizing existing infrastructure
- Reducing emissions, and
- Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
