Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE C-2 (Central Business) / D-1 (Downtown Design Overlay).
The requested C-2 zoning is consistent with the Central City Sector Plan and the One Year Plan designations for the property, in an area where mixed use development and redevelopment is encouraged. The D-1 overlay will ensure that any modifications to the exterior of the building will be consistent with the Downtown Knoxville Design Guidelines.

This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

  • Encouraging greater transit use,
  • Reducing automobile use,
  • Maximizing existing infrastructure
  • Reducing emissions, and
  • Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
