Applicable Guidelines
Heart of Knoxville Infill Housing Design Guidelines
See Guidelines- 2. House Orientation and Side Yards
- - New housing should be proportional to the dimensions of the lot and other houses on the block.
- - On corner lots, side yard setbacks should be handled traditionally (that is, closer to the side street). The zoning requirement to treat corner lots as having two frontages should not apply in Heart of Knoxville neighborhoods.
- - Side yard setbacks should be similar to older houses on the block, keeping the rhythm of spacing between houses consistent.
- - On lots greater than 50' in width, consider re-creating the original lot size
