Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 4 du/ac, subject to two conditions.
1. Vehicular access to the development must be from Twin Oak Ln. only. Twin Oak Ln. must be improved/widened from the development entrance to Tazewell Pike, to the satisfaction of the Knox County Engineering Department.
2. Because of the property's location within the parental responsibility zone, sidewalks must be provided within the development. This must include pedestrian access to the adjacent Gibbs Elementary School site to the south.

PR zoning at the requested density is consistent with the sector plan designation and will allow uses compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning pattern. The site is relatively flat with few environmental constraints, so, with the recommended condition, it is appropriate for development at the proposed density within the LDR density range.
Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission approve PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density up to 4 dwelliing units per acre, subject to two conditions.
