      C-G-3 (General Commercial)

      The C-G General Commercial Zoning District is intended to provide for a heterogeneous mix of retail, personal service, office, and residential uses within and along Knoxville's commercial nodes and corridors. The C-G District is intended to promote mixed-use development in a pedestrian-oriented environment that recalls the City's traditional business districts, and offers flexibility in the creation of integrated commercial, office and residential spaces. The C-G District is divided into three levels of intensity related to the overall form and design of the development; however, uses are the same across all levels. This district is intended primarily for indoor commercial uses with limited exceptions per special use approval.

Staff Recommendation
Postpone the application for 30 days to be heard at the June 12 Planning Commission meeting to allow time for any required revisions.
A new hotel is being proposed on Papermill Drive with its parking lot being split into three separate parcels. This request is for the two parcels that are zoned C-G-3 and contain part of the parking lot with no structures. A Traffic Impact Letter (TIL) was submitted on 4/28/2025, after the final revision deadline of 4/21/2025 for the May meeting. A postponement would allow time for reviewing the TIL and conducting any required revisions.
