Staff Recommendation
WITHDRAW, per applicants request
Notice sent to staff on 11/1/18 to withrdaw this application.

Both the One Year Plan and Central City Sector Plan designate this parcel as ROW (Right-of-Way). This is a mapping error, since the parcel is not part of the James White Parkway right-of-way. The parcels on the east side of S. Central St. should be designated MU-RC (Mixed Use Regional Center) in the One Year and Central City Sector Plan. The adjacent parcels in downtown are designated MU-RC and many of them are zoned C-2 (Central Business District) zone.

The Central City Sector Plan is being proposed to be amended for this parcel and the parcel to the south (11-B-18-SP). The One-Year Plan will be updated for this area during the 2019 update.

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.
