Staff Recommendation

Approve the One Year Plan amendment to CC (Community Commercial) and SP (Stream Protection) for a portion of parcel 119 03313 because it is consistent with the location criteria.

---

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. Though there does not appear to be an error in the plan, this area also meets the location criteria for CC (Community Commercial) land use classification, and existing zoning in this district include C-H zoning and O zoning, both of which are recommended zone districts.
2. This area is also served by transit, which could support a mix of office, commercial and residential uses for this area.

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. In 2015, the City of Knoxville completed a realignment of the stormwater system in this area, moving a ditch that bisected the property to run adjacent to the front of the property along Cross Park Dirve.

A CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN:
1. With the adoption of the new zoning ordinance and land use classification table, this area is generally in alignment with the recommended zones for the CC land use classification because of the mix of zone districts including C-H and O zoning. The existing O designation does not recognize the mix of C-H zoning that is also present in this O designated area.

NEW INFORMATION (INCLUDING NEW PLANS AND STUDIES PRODUCED BY KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY PLANNING) BECOMING AVAILABLE, WHICH REVEALS THE NEED FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT:
1. No new information that has been produced by this agency has revealed the need for a plan amendment. However, local data sources and national data trends note an increased demand for housing and this plan amendment could enable additional opportunities for additional residential development under the CC land use classification.
