Staff Recommendation

APPROVE HI (Heavy Industrial) One Year Plan designation.

---

Heavy industrial uses are compatible with surrounding development and zoning. It is an extension of the HI designation from the east where Gerdau Ameristeel's primary facility is located.

Effective as of June 13, 2008, certain provisions of Title 13, Chapter 3 of Tenn. Code Ann. Were amended by Public Chapter No. 1150. Specifically, T.C.A. 13-3-303 has been amended to require thirty (30) day publication notice prior to the adoption of any amendment to the General Plan. This request was previously acted upon by MPC after the effective date of the new rule, and without the required thirty (30) day publication notice. As a result, the previous actions by MPC are not valid. To rectify this situation, this plan amendment and rezoning request has been readvertised consistent with the 30 day requirement for ratification and reconfirmation of the previous MPC action on 7/10/2008 and City Council actions on 8/12/2008 and 8/26/2008.
