Staff Recommendation

DENY CN (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning.

---

A large site to the northeast was approved for conditional CN zoning earlier this year, and is yet to be developed. The subject property is small in size to adequately meet the CN development standards and establish appropriate buffering to the adjacent residence to the southeast. In addition, access may be problematic as there can be no access to S. Northshore Dr. and access to Choto Rd. would have to be placed between S. Northshore Dr. and Choto Mill Ln., with minimal spacing possible, creating a potentially dangerous traffic situation. Knox County is also considering improvements to the intersection of Choto Rd. and S. Northshore Dr., which may include construction of a roundabout. This property could be impacted further by that project.
