Staff Recommendation

ADOPT RESOLUTION #11-D-17-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to LDR (Low Density Residential) and recommend that Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment. (See attached resolution, Exhibit A.)

---

The subject property is surrounded by Agricultural zoning and an Agricultural sector plan designation. However, because the property is connected to the Planned Growth Area with arterial streets and is a little over a half mile west from a developing subdivision, zoned PR at up to 3 du/ac, it is appropriate to amend the sector plan map to allow low density residential development on this property, as long as consistent with the policies of the Hillside and Ridgetop Protection Plan (HRPP) and the Growth Policy Plan, which allows for PR zoning at no more than 2 du/ac.
