Staff Recommendation
Deny the CA (General Business) zone because it is incompatible with the intent of the zone and adjacent land uses.

PURSUANT TO THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, ARTICLE 6.30.01, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET FOR ALL REZONINGS (must meet all of these):

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED OR CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA AND DISTRICTS AFFECTED, OR IN THE CITY/COUNTY GENERALLY:
1. The request for the CA (General Business) zone is not supported by changing conditions in the area. A recent rezoning of approximately 100 acres surrounding the property to the PR (Planned Residential) zone with a density of 3 du/ac indicate that adjacent future land use will most likely be single-family residential, which does not support a center spot of more intensive commercial development.
2. A recent CA rezoning along Chapman Highway nearby to the southeast is in a location where it is easily accessible from the major arterial street. By contrast, the subject property is set far back from the corridor and only accessible by a narrow private driveway in need of repaving. The driveway goes through and behind a single-family residential property. There are no changing conditions in active development or future land use that warrant the requested rezoning at this location.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE APPLICABLE ZONING ORDINANCE
1. The CA zone is intended for retail businesses and services. Residential uses are also permitted, including multifamily development.
2. The property's access and surrounding residential and open space conditions are not consistent with more intensive commercial or residential uses.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PART OF THE COUNTY, NOR SHALL ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS RESULT FROM SUCH AMENDMENT:
1. The CA zone could have a negative impact on the residential lot through which the subject property is accessed, by bringing public, commercial traffic through private property.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH AND NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF KNOX COUNTY, INCLUDING ANY OF ITS ELEMENTS, MAJOR ROAD PLAN, LAND USE PLAN, COMMUNITY FACILITIES PLAN, AND OTHERS:
1. The CA zone is inconsistent with the property's TN (Traditional Neighborhood) place type, which is intended primarily for residential development.
2. A rezoning to CA is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan's Implementation Policy 2 to ensure that development is consistent with existing community character when considering its potential impact on the residential property through which it is accessed.
