Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the request for up to 1 detached residential dwelling on an individual lot subject to 5 conditions.
1. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance.
2. Meeting all applicable requirements of Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
3. The driveway for this lot must have a turn-around area and be located out of the 100-yr floodplain or is raised to stay out of the 100-yr floodplain so that it complies with Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works requirements.
4. Proper sight distance for the driveway should be adhered to that complies with Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works requirements, therefore, the driveway should be placed where the sight distance is maximized to the fullest extent possible since Yarnell Road is a Major Collector.
5. Minimum floor elevation for the single family house must be 859.5 ft per Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.

With the conditions noted, this plan meets the requirements for approval in the PR zone and the other criteria for approval of a use-on-review.

Case History

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.
