Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council Approve GC (General Commercial) designation.
Knoxville City Council referred the One Year Plan amendment (10-A-18-PA) back to the Planning Commission, along with the Sector Plan (1-A-18-SP, formerly 10-A-18-SP) and Rezoning (10-B-18-RZ) amendments.

City Council asked the Planning Commission to consider less intense uses. Staff considered Office designation but this would be inconsistent with recent plan amendment to GC, immediately to the east. It is staff's opinion that public policy has recently shifted, as a recent plan amendment (7-C-18-SP) to GC was approved immediately to the east in Knox County. Given the location adjacent to the Westland Drive and I-140 interchange, it is situated in an ideal location for commercial uses.
Disposition Summary
RECOMMEND that City Council Approve GC (General Commercial) designation.
