Staff Recommendation

Approve the MU-SD, NWC-1 (Callahan Drive Mixed Use Special District) land use classification because it would be an extension of this classification, and it is consistent with the surrounding development.

The HP (Hillside Protection) Overlay would be retained.

PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE ONE YEAR PLAN, CHAPTER 1, PLAN AMENDMENT, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA MUST BE MET FOR ALL ONE YEAR PLAN AMENDMENTS (may meet any of these):

AN ERROR IN THE PLAN:
1. There are no apparent errors or omissions in the One Year Plan with regards to the subject property. However, the property has a sliver of MU-SD, NWC-1 classification along the northern boundary and the requested plan amendment would be an extension of this classification.

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. Recent developments in the broader area primarily include commercial developments along Callahan Drive and Central Avenue Pike. The subject parcel, accessed via a local street, has remained undeveloped with its commercial land use and zoning designations. Approval of the Callahan Drive Mixed Use Special District would allow residential development on this parcel, which would be compatible with surrounding developments. The property has easy access to commercial services along nearby classified streets and several amenities in Inskip Neighborhood, which would support any residential development here.

CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN:
1. There are no known adopted public policy changes pertaining to the subject property and its land use designation.

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 or plans specific to this area or the MU-SD, NWC-1 land use that apply to this request. However, a widespread need for additional types of housing has been recognized by the City's Housing Strategy Update (2024). The RN-5 district has more flexibility for a broader range of housing types compared to the C-H-1 district, which would be allowed under the recommended classification.
