Staff Recommendation

ADOPT RESOLUTION #8-A-17-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to GC (General Commercial) and recommend that Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment. (See attached resolution, Exhibit A.)

---

The proposed GC (General Commercial) plan designation will allow the property to be developed with commercial uses, as permitted by it's current PC (Planned Commercial) zoning. The site is separated from adjacent residential uses to the northeast by Plumb Creek and is adjacent to a large business park to the northwest. Considering the site's natural separation from residential uses and it's access to Hardin Valley Rd., a 4-lane, minor arterial street, the subject property is appropriate for commercial development.
