Staff recommends approval of the amendments as proposed to the City of Knoxville Zoning Code, Article 7.

In January 2023, Knoxville City Council requested a study of the Form-Based Code districts. From March to July, an advisory group made up of City staff and neighborhood representatives met to discuss possible changes to the Article 7 of the zoning ordinance. The group identified the following revisions:


• Add part I and ii to 7.0.2.F.8.c. to limit the percentage of ground floor transparency variances in the South Waterfront District and to limit variance and permitted deviations for minimum interior and rear setbacks for stand-alone parking lots in the South Waterfront.

• Add part d to 7.1.4.D.1. to provide standards for stand-alone surface parking lots in the South Waterfront District.
