PURSUANT TO ARTICLE V, SECTION 2 OF THE TTCDA ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND PROCEDURES, THE TTCDA STAFF MAY REVIEW AND APPROVE MINOR CHANGES TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICATIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR BUILDING, GRADING, AND SIGN PERMITS, CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

A. Conformity of the proposal with the Tennessee Technology Corridor Design Guidelines.
a. The applicant is requesting to revise the previously approved plans for a 318 unit multifamily development on Lovell Rd and Cornerstone Dr (12-B-22-TOB/12-B-22-UR). The original approval received a waiver to increase the floor area ratio (FAR) from 30% to 54% and this approval still stands. This will be the second administrative approval. The first administrative approval was granted for revised building plans, site plan, and landscaping (7-C-23-TOA). These revisions were minor exterior adjustments and did not require a new development plan because the site plan remained the same. The development is distributed between 8 (3-story) multi-family buildings, 1 (3/4 split level) multi-family building, 6 (3 story) townhome buildings, one community building, a courtyard area and two 14-space garages.

1. The previous plans did not show any amenities in the courtyard. These revisions included a 14 ft pavilion, a patio with a grill and fire pit, and a hammock area for the east courtyard.
2. The community building has a new floor plan to include more office spaces. The façade of the community building increased the amount of brick to wrap so it wrapped around the entire first floor.
3. The brick veneer was reduced at the gables on the garages.
4. The maintenance building and car wash will have brick veneer but will be mostly hardie lap grey siding with a 4 inch reveal, which matches the multifamily buildings.
5. For the townhome buildings, a sprinkler room was added to the end of the building. The main level balcony on the back of the townhomes was removed and patios on the main entry side were added. The front elevation window sizes were reduced and the front roof bump ups extended over to the gables.
6. There are minimal brick veneer reductions on multifamily buildings A, B, C, and D.

B. Conformity of the proposal with the Knoxville-Knox County Minimum Subdivision Regulations and either the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance, or the Knox County Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
a. The proposed change complies with the requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance for approval of minor changes in the TO zone (Article 5.90.11).
b. The applicant does not wish to replat the property, so the Subdivision Regulations are not applicable.

C. Effect of the proposal on the subject property, surrounding property and the community as a whole.
a. This area has developed with a range of office and residential uses, so the multifamily development is consistent with development nearby including the adjacent multifamily development on Murdock Dr.

D. Consistency of the proposal with the requirements of city or county departments, as appropriate.
a. Knox County has no comments on this proposal.
