Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION #9-A-12-SP, amending the Northeast County Sector Plan to RC (Rural Commercial) for a portion of the site and recommend the Knox County Commission also approve the sector plan amendment, to make it operative. (See resolution, Exhibit A.)
Staff recommends approval of the RC sector plan designation for a portion of the site (see attached MPC staff recommendation map). The remaining, easternmost portion of the site, which is recommended to be excluded from the plan amendment, is too narrow for viable rural commercial development and is too close to an existing residence to the north to allow for adequate building setbacks and landscape buffering, as required in the CR zone.
Disposition Summary
ADOPT RESOLUTION #9-A-12-SP, amending the Northeast County Sector Plan to RC (Rural Commercial) for a portion of the site and recommend the Knox County Commission also approve the sector plan amendment, to make it operative.
