Collocation of antennas and required supporting structures on the parapet of an existing building. Antennas (three sets, referenced as Sector A, B, and C) will be mounted on three elevations of existing parapet (north, east, and south). Installation includes new building lights on south elevation and associated mounting equipment for each sector of antennas. New WCFs meet the zoning code requirements (9.3.FF) by not extending higher than 30 feet above the highest point of the existing building, and are camouflaged/concealed as much as possible to make them compatible and blend into the setting and host building. Antennas will be color-clad to match existing brick and minimally visible from the public right-of-way.

Case History

This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

  • Encouraging greater transit use,
  • Reducing automobile use,
  • Maximizing existing infrastructure
  • Reducing emissions, and
  • Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
