Staff Recommendation
Approve the development plan for a residential subdivision of up to 111 attached dwellings in the PR zone, subject to 2 conditions.
1) Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance, including but not limited to, ensuring that lots 1, 19, 106, and 111 meet all setback requirements.
2) The maximum height of the attached dwellings shall be 35 feet.
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) with up to 12 du/ac:
A. The PR zone allows attached dwellings 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 of 10.84 du/ac is below the approved density of 12 du/ac.
C. With the recommend condition # 1, the site layout will conform to the lot size and setback requirements of the zone.

2) KNOX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
A. Create neighborhoods with a variety of housing types and amenities in close proximity (Policy 5). - The property is located within two miles of Carter Park and Carter Elementary, Carter High, and Sunnyview schools.
B. Encourage development practices that conserve and connect natural features and habitat (Policy 7). - The development proposes a landscape screen along Asheville Highway. This is also consistent with the East Knox Community Plan which calls out to preserve and enhance the area's rural character and landscape.

3) FUTURE LAND USE MAP
A. The property has the CMU (Corridor Mixed-use) place type. Attached houses are recommended as "secondary uses" in the CMU place type.
B. Two-story townhouses with 20-ft front setbacks are consistent with the CMU place type's recommended building form.

4) KNOXVILLE - FARRAGUT - KNOX COUNTY GROWTH POLICY PLAN
A. The property is within the Urban Growth Boundary. The purposes of the Urban Growth Boundary designation are to encourage a reasonably compact pattern of development, promote expansion of the Knoxville-Knox County economy, offer a wide range of housing choices, and coordinate the actions of the public and private sectors, particularly with regard to provision of adequate roads, utilities, schools, drainage and other public facilities and services. The proposed development is not in opposition to any of these criteria.
