Staff Recommendation

APPROVE PC (Planned Commercial) based on the sector plan amendment recommendation. Applicant requests CB (Business & Manufacturing) zoning for this site.

---

PC zoning would permit a range of commercial uses to be identified by the property developer through protective covenants submitted with any development proposal and approved by MPC through the use on review process. Because of the property's large size and location on a major highway, the ability of the Planning Commission to review a site plan under PC zoning can result in a proposal that addresses such issues as access to Maynardville Pike, impacts to the adjoining creek, and impacts on nearby, less-intense development. Building layout, signage and on-site circulation can also be addressed. Development of the site under PC can set a better precedent for the commercial development of other properties in this area.
