Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE CA (General Business) zoning, subject to 1 condition.
1. A Type 'A' landscaping screen (see attached as marked) must be installed within the area highlighted on the attached site plan. Species must consist of medium and large species as listed from the attached circled section from the Knoxville-Knox CountyTree Conservation and Planting Plan.
CA is an extension of commercial zoning from the north and west. With the recommended condition, the impact on adjacent properties will be minimized. The applicant has revised the original application to exclude the southeastern most portion of the parcel 26 (about a half acre) where the existing house is located, leaving it zoned RB. This factor, as well as the fact that the commercial site, which has been filled and graded to create an elevated, flat site at street level (approximately 30 feet higher in elevation than the adjacent residential uses to the south), make the application more acceptable, as requested. In addition, the recommended condition to install a landscape screen will provide added buffering between the incompatible uses. Even though some of the land where the Type 'A' landscape screening is being recommended is outside of the area requested for rezoning, the applicant owns and controls all of parcels 1 and 26, on which the entire area for screening is recommended. The original application requested the entire RB zoned portion of parcel 26 (0.57 acre) be rezoned CA. The other half of parcel 26 is already zoned CA.
