Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE RP-2 (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 30 du/ac, subject to one condition.
1. The rear, westernmost portion of the site must remain undisturbed, consistent with the hatched area depicted on the attached map labeled 'No Disturbance Area'. This boundary is defined by the 980' elevation on the topography map.

With the recommended condition, this site is appropriate to be developed under RP-2 zoning at up to 30 du/ac. The property is currently zoned C-4, which could lead to extensive clearing and grading of the steeper portions of the site for any number of commercial uses, with no review required by MPC. The recommended rezoning will prevent further clearing and grading of the hillside, and allow compatible infill development at an appropriate location. Transit service (KAT) is not currently available at the site, but is available to the north at Lonas Dr. or to the south at Kingston Pike.

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.
