RA (Low Density Residential)This residential zone provides for residential areas with low population densities. These areas are intended to be defined and protected from encroachment of uses not performing a function necessary to the residential environment.
RequestedPR
PR (Planned Residential)The regulations established in this zone are intended to provide optional methods of land development which encourage more imaginative solutions to environmental design problems. Residential areas thus established would be characterized by a unified building and site development program, open space for recreation and provision for commercial, religious, educational, and cultural facilities which are integrated with the total project by unified architectural and open space treatment.

Recommend the Knox County Commission approve PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density up to 5 dwelling units per acre as requested.Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 5 du/ac, as requested.PR zoning at the requested density is consistent with the sector plan designation and will allow uses compatible with the surrounding land uses and zoning pattern. The site is relatively flat with few environmental constraints, so is appropriate for development at the maximum density allowed under the LDR sector plan designation. A large portion of the site is already zoned RA, which allows a density of 3 to 4 du/ac.
