PURSUANT TO THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, ARTICLE 6.30.01: THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET FOR ALL REZONINGS (must meet all of these):

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED OR CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA AND DISTRICTS AFFECTED, OR IN THE COUNTY GENERALLY:
1. In 2005, several PR rezonings occurred in the area at densities 2-3 du/ac, including the adjacent property which was rezoned at PR at 3 du/ac.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE APPLICABLE ZONING ORDINANCE:
1. The regulations established in this zone are intended to provide optional methods of land development which encourage more imaginative solutions to environmental design problems.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PART OF THE COUNTY, NOR SHALL ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS RESULT FROM SUCH AMENDMENT.
1. PR up to 3 du/ac is adjacent to the property. This rezoning to PR at 2 du/ac is consistent with the land uses and development pattern surrounding the subject property.
2. This addition of PR (Planned Residential) zoning should not have any adverse effects on any other parts of the county.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH AND NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN OF KNOXVILLE AND KNOX COUNTY, INCLUDING ANY OF ITS ELEMENTS, MAJOR ROAD PLAN, LAND USE PLAN, COMMUNITY FACILITIES PLAN, AND OTHERS:
1. The recommended amendment for the Northeast County Sector Plan to RR (Rural Residential) makes the proposed rezoning consistent with the land use plan and all other adopted plans.
