Staff Recommendation

Deny the One Year Plan amendment to O (Office) because it encroaches into a residential neighborhood, and it does not meet any of the conditions warranting a change to the land use plan.

---

ONE YEAR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS:
CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN (May meet any one of these.)

AN ERROR IN THE PLAN:
1. The subject property contains a single family detached home and is located at an entrance to the established South Woodlawn residential neighborhood. The One Year Plan's land use designation of LDR (Low Density Residential) is reflective of the surrounding area and is not the result of an error.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, OR THE COMPLETION OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT (ROAD, PARK, SEWER), WHICH CHANGES THE BASIS ON WHICH THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FOR AN AREA:
1. There have been no significant capital improvements in this area that would impact the land use designation for the subject property.

A CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN:
1. There are no public policy changes that support an extension of the O (Office) land use designation into this residential neighborhood.

NEW INFORMATION (INCLUDING NEW PLANS AND STUDIES PRODUCED BY KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY PLANNING) BECOMING AVAILABLE, WHICH REVEALS THE NEED FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT:
1. The Chapman Highway Corridor Study identifies the area where the subject property is located as being primarily residential.
2. There is no new information that points to the need for an Office land use designation at an entrance of the South Woodlawn Neighborhood.
