Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PC (Planned Commercial) / TO (Technology Overlay) zoning. (Applicant requested CA/TO.)
Commercial uses are appropriate at this location, if developed under the recommended PC/TO zoning. The proposal is an extension of PC/TO zoning from the north. PC zoning will allow MPC to review a development plan for the site, at which time staff may recommend appropriate landscaping, lighting, access and signage in order to retain maximize compatibility with surrounding land uses. The requested CA zoning would not require any plan review by MPC. The applicant has excluded a 130 feet wide buffer area along the northwest portion of the site from the rezoning request. This area will remain zoned A/TO, providing sufficient separation between the proposed commercial uses and the established residential uses along Mercury Dr. to the northwest.
Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission approve CA (General Business) / TO (Technology Overlay) zoning, subject to the condition that any proposed development shall be subject to MPC approval of a development plan as a use on review.
