Staff Recommendation
DENY GC (General Commercial) sector plan designation.
The existing sector plan designation of MDR/O (Medium Density Residential/Office) creates a transition buffer between the existing GC (General Commercial) node at the intersection of Strawberry Plains Pike and I-40 and the adjacent LDR (Low Density Residential) area to the east. Extensions of GC are not recommended, as per the East County Sector Plan, because of the adverse effects on traffic-carrying capacity, safety and environmental impacts.

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.
