Disposition Summary
ADOPT RESOLUTION #10-D-17-SP, amending the North County Sector Plan map to GC (General Commercial) and SP (Stream Protection) designation, and recommend Knoxville City Council also approve the sector plan amendment to make it operative.
Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION #10-D-17-SP, amending the North County Sector Plan map to GC (General Commercial) and SP (Stream Protection) designation, and recommend Knoxville City Council also approve the sector plan amendment to make it operative. (See Exhibit A)
In October 2017, the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) denied the requested amendment to the North County Sector Plan and the applicant subsequently appealed the decision to City Council. The application was referred back to MPC by City Council to reconsider amending the sector plan to GC (General Commercial). MPC staff previously recommended denial of the requested amendment because it is inconsistent with the adopted plans and because the subject property is not contiguous with the larger commercial area to the south. Staff also commented that if City Council approves a plan amendment for this property, the land use recommendations for this area should also be updated to reflect this change in policy. Staff is now recommending approval of GC for the subject property and reiterating the need to reconsider the OYP and Sector Plan designations along this stretch of Central Avenue Pike. This could be considered as part of the annual update the OYP in early 2018.
