Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
See Guidelines- G. Setbacks and Placement on the Lot
- 1. Maintain the historic façade lines of streetscapes by locating the front walls of new buildings in the same plane as those of adjacent buildings. If existing setbacks vary, a new building's setback shall respect those of adjacent buildings.
- 2. Do not violate the existing setback pattern by placing new buildings in front of or behind historic buildings on the street.
- 3. Do not place new buildings at odd angles to the street.
- 4. Side yard setbacks for new buildings shall be consistent with those of existing historic buildings, so gaps are not left in the streetscape.
- H. Scale and Massing
- 1. Relate the size and proportions of new structures to the scale of adjacent buildings.
- 3. New buildings must reinforce the scale of the neighborhood by their height, width and massing.
- 5. New buildings must be designed with a mix of wall areas with door and window elements in the façade like those found on existing buildings.
- 6. Roof shapes must relate to the existing buildings, as must roof coverings.
- I. Height of Foundations and Stories
- 1. Avoid new construction that varies in height, so that new buildings are equal to the average height of existing buildings.
- 2. The foundation height of new buildings shall duplicate that of adjacent buildings, or be an average of adjacent building foundation heights
