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 4 du/ac subject to 6 conditions:
A) The requested modifications are consistent with the PR zone and the 6 zoning conditions listed below.
Zoning conditions (case number 1-D-24-RZ):
(1) Will not reduce the 35-ft peripheral setback adjacent to Briarglen or Suburban Hills,
(2) No stub-outs (connections) to Briarglen or Suburban Hills (Subdivisions),
(3) 6-ft Green Giants to be (a) as close to 3 ft off the property line as allowed by site conditions (along the shared property line with the Briarglen Subdivision), (b) neighbors can pay the difference between 6 ft and 8 ft, and (c) 12-ft off-center,
(4) Traffic study at the expense of the developer,
(5) The entrance will be from Ebenezer Road, and
(6) Include a landscape plan.

2) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - SR (SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL) PLACE TYPE
A) Single family (detached) residential subdivisions are considered a primary use in the SR (Suburban Residential) place type, and the proposal is consistent with the intent of providing a range of lot sizes, is located within bikeable proximity to neighborhood commercial areas, and is accessed from a collector street.
B) The turnarounds at the termini of Road 'A' and Road 'B' will have right-of-way stub-outs to the adjacent properties to the north.

3) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - POLICIES A) The turnarounds at the termini of Road 'A' and Road 'B' will have right-of-way stub-outs to the adjacent properties to the north. This is consistent with Policies 11.2 and 14, which recommend limiting cul-de-sacs (dead-end streets) to provide greater connectivity and redundancy in the travel network rather than a single point.

4) KNOXVILLE - FARRAGUT - KNOX COUNTY GROWTH POLICY PLAN
A) The purposes of the Planned Growth Area 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. - The proposed development meets the relevant standards of the Growth Policy Plan.
