Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION # 1-A-12-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to MDR (Medium Density Residential) and SLPA (Slope Protection) and recommend that County Commission also adopt the amendment. (Applicant requested HDR.) (See attached Exhibit A.)
Medium density residential development is consistent with much of the adjacent development and zoning in the area. There is an established, multi-dwelling residential development to the southeast of this site. Medium density residential is compatible with the surrounding development and zoning pattern, but the requested high density residential is not. If development is limited on the steep slopes within the SLPA (Slope Protection Area), as recommended, then the resulting development will be clustered in the less constrained areas of the site and will appear more dense than the overall site density would indicate.
Disposition Summary
ADOPT RESOLUTION # 1-A-12-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to MDR (Medium Density Residential) and SLPA (Slope Protection Area) and recommend the Knox County Commission adopt the amendment.
