Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the Option "D"
These amendments were requested by City Council to help in the revitalization of the City's older residential neighborhoods. (See attached letter.) These amendments will restrict parking in the front yards of Knoxville's R-1, R-1A and R-1E zones to defined driveway areas only. Since the matter was postponed at the last MPC meeting the staff changed the wording in the proposal to include a limitation on temporary (not more than 12 hours.) and infrequent (not more than 3 times per week) to address Codes enforcement concerns with the original proposal.
