Staff Recommendation
Approve the One Year Plan amendment to LDR (Low Density Residential) because it is compatible with surrounding land uses.
ONE YEAR PLAN AMENDMENT REQUIREMENTS:
CHANGES OF CONDITIONS WARRANTING AMENDMENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN (May meet any one of these.)

AN ERROR IN THE PLAN:
1. While the current classification of CI (Civic/Institutional) is not the result of an error in the One Year Plan, it is tied to the zoning of the church next door. This property was recently purchased and is no longer associated with the church. This request is to change the land use classification to be consistent with the surrounding residential properties.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, OR THE COMPLETION OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT (ROAD, PARK, SEWER), WHICH CHANGES THE BASIS ON WHICH THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FOR AN AREA:
1. This is a well-established subdivision. There are no current plans to improve streets or utilities in the area.

A CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN:
1. There is no notable changes in public policy. This is the result of the church selling the property.

NEW INFORMATION (INCLUDING NEW PLANS AND STUDIES PRODUCED BY KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY PLANNING) BECOMING AVAILABLE, WHICH REVEALS THE NEED FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT:
1. There are no new studies specific to this request. However, the LDR classification represents a return to the original plans for this area and is compatible with adjacent land uses.
2. This parcel was recently purchased from the church next door. This request is to change the land use classification to be consistent with the surrounding residential properties.
