Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION # 5-B-09-SP, amending the South County Sector Plan to an MDR (Medium Density Residential) designation for the site and recommend that County Commission adopt the resolution. (See attached Exhibit A.)
The MPC staff recommended, and Planning Commission approved, an MDR designation for this site and several adjacent tracts in 2007. The Knox County Commission did not approve the MDR amendment or the density increase to 12 dwelling units per acre. A Knox County Chancery Court ruled that the adoption of plans are the responsibility of the planning commission and that zone changes are approved by County Commission, with a recommendation from MPC. However, the State Enabling Legislation 13-304 was amended in 2008 to allow the legislative body to initiate an amendment to the adopted regional plan.
Disposition Summary
Approve Resolution # 5-B-09-SP amending the South County Sector Plan to MDR (Medium Density Residential) and recommend the Knox County Commission adopt by resolution the amendment.
