Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution # 10-A-18-SP, amending the Southwest County Sector Plan to GC (General Commercial) and recommend City Council also adopt the sector plan amendment.
Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND City Council APPROVE GC (General Commercial) designation.
This site is located at the southeastern side of the Westland Drive and I-140 interchange. For years the plans have never designated commercial in this area because of community resistance. However, public policy has recently shifted a recent plan amendment for GC in this area, the MPC case was 7-C-18-SP that changed this public policy.
Knoxville City Council referred the Sector Plan (1-A-18-SP), One Year Plan (10-A-18-PA) , and Rezoning (10-B-18-RZ) amendments back to MPC to consider less intense uses.
