1. This area has been transitioning from A (Agricultural) zoning to PR (Planned Residential) zoning since the late 1990s. The property to the east was rezoned from A to PR up to 2.5 du/ac in 2006, while the property to the west was rezoned from A (Agricultural) to PR (Planned Residential) with up to 3 du/ac in 1999.

1. The regulations established in this zone are intended to provide optional methods of land development which encourage more imaginative solutions to environmental design problems.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PART OF THE COUNTY, NOR SHALL ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS RESULT FROM SUCH AMENDMENT.
1. The proposed PR (Planned Residential) zoning with up to 2 du/ac would serve as a minor extension of the PR zone to east of the subject property.
2. The proposed amendment is not expected to adversely impact the surrounding area because the adjacent area consists of low-density residential uses.
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH AND NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN OF KNOXVILLE AND KNOX COUNTY, INCLUDING ANY OF ITS ELEMENTS, MAJOR ROAD PLAN, LAND USE PLAN, COMMUNITY FACILITIES PLAN, AND OTHERS:
1. The proposed PR zone of 2 du/ac is consistent with the Southwest County Sector Plan's LDR (Low Density Residential) land use designation and Planned Growth Area of the Growth Policy Plan.
