DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANALYSIS PER ARTICLE 6, SECTION 6.50.06 (APPROVAL OR DENIAL)
In the exercise of its administrative judgment, the Planning Commission shall determine if the proposed plan is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and adopted plans.

1) ZONING ORDINANCE
PR (Planned Residential) up to 5 du/ac (pending)
a) The PR zone allows houses as a permitted use. The administrative procedures for the PR zone require the Planning Commission to approve the development plan before permits can be issued (Article 5, Section 5.13.15).
b) The proposed density for the subdivision is 4.8 du/ac.
C) The maximum height is determined by the Planning Commission for any use other than houses and duplexes. Staff recommends a maximum height of 35 ft, which is consistent with the maximum allowed on surrounding properties.

2) GENERAL PLAN - DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
a) Policy 9.3, Ensure that the context of new development, including scale and compatibility, does not impact existing neighborhoods and communities - Staff is recommending a maximum height of 35 ft, which is consistent with the allowed height on adjacent properties.

3) NORTHEAST COUNTY SECTOR PLAN
a) The property is classified as LDR (Low Density Residential) on the sector plan, which allows consideration of up to 5 du/ac. The proposed density is 4.8 du/ac.

4) KNOXVILLE - FARRAGUT - KNOX COUNTY GROWTH POLICY PLAN
a) The property is within the Planned Growth Boundary. The purposes of the Planned Growth Boundary designation are to encourage a reasonably compact pattern of development, promote the expansion of the Knox County economy, offer a wide range of housing choices, and coordinate the actions of the public and private sectors, particularly with regard to the provision of adequate roads, utilities, schools, drainage and other public facilities and services.
