Staff Recommendation
DENY the request to amend the future land use map of the Northwest County Sector Plan to MDR/O (Medium Density Residential/Office) land use classification.
The slope characteristics of the site make it inappropriate for office or medium density residential uses. About 19 acres of the site has slopes of more than 25%. The current plan designation of Low Density Residential and Slope Protection is appropriate for this site and should be maintained. Higher intensity uses are primarily proposed for and located to the west, closer to the interchange of Hardin Valley Rd. and Pellissippi Parkway.
