Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE CN (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning on the portion of the site shown on the attached 'MPC Staff Recommendation' map. (Applicant requested CA on the entire site.)
The recommended CN zoning is consistent with the recommended sector plan amendment to NC on the accompanying application. CN zoning will allow reasonable use of the front portion of the site for commercial uses, while maintaining the rear of the site as OB zoning, which is more compatible with adjacent residential uses, than commercial zoning would be.
Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission APPROVE CN (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning on the portion of the site shown on the attached 'MPC Recommendation' map.

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.
