Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION #7-B-18-SP, amending the West City Sector Plan to HDR (High Density Residential), and recommend the Knoxville City Council also approve the sector plan amendment, to make it operative.
This site is already designated for medium density residential uses and is located in the vicinity of other attached multi-dwelling development along Sutherland Ave. and to the north, along Lonas Dr., where transit service is available, as well as having commercial services within walking distance. The location is appropriate for high density residential development.

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.
