PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE ONE YEAR PLAN, CHAPTER 1, PLAN AMENDMENT, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA MUST BE MET FOR ALL ONE YEAR PLAN AMENDMENTS (may meet any of these):
AN ERROR IN THE PLAN:
1. There are no apparent errors or omissions in the One Year Plan with regards to the subject property. However, the GC classification can be considered here since this will be an extension of this classification from the north side.
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, OR THE COMPLETION OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT (ROAD, PARK, SEWER), WHICH CHANGES THE BASIS ON WHICH THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FOR AN AREA:
1. While it is not a significant change in the development pattern, this section of N Broadway Avenue has a mix of commercial, office, public-quasi public uses with a few residential uses mixed in. Further south, N Broadway Avenue becomes a major commercial corridor. The annual average daily traffic count (AADT) for this corridor was between 29,000 to 35,000 during 2020-22, and the traffic-carrying capacity of this 4-lane arterial street is adequate for the requested commercial land use.
CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN:
1. There are no known public policy changes pertaining to the subject property and its land use designation.
NEW INFORMATION (INCLUDING NEW PLANS AND STUDIES PRODUCED BY KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY PLANNING) BECOMING AVAILABLE, WHICH REVEALS THE NEED FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT:
1. There are no new studies or plans specific to this area or the GC land use that apply to this request.
