Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION #7-J-18-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to NC (Neighborhood Commercial), as shown on attached map, and recommend that Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment. (See attached resolution, Exhibit A.)
Staff is recommending that the NC designation to the west be extended to the front portion of the subject property, consistent with the attached 'MPC Staff Recommendation' map. Approval of the requested GC plan designation would be an inappropriate, spot plan amendment. Because of the adjacent residential uses to the west and the established zoning pattern in place, NC is the most appropriate designation to allow commercial use of the existing building on site, as well as allow future development or redevelopment on the portion of the site nearest to Middlebrook Pike. Commercial uses are not appropriate to be extended all the way to the rear of the site, because of the adjacent residential uses to the west.
Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution #7-E-18-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to NC (Neighborhood Commercial), as shown on attached map, and recommend that Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment.

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.
