Staff Recommendation
ADOPT RESOLUTION # 5-B-18-SP, amending the East County Sector Plan to GC (General Commercial) and recommend that County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment. (See attached resolution, Exhibit A.)
The recommendation is driven by changing conditions in the County, primarily the increasing demand for lands suitable for light industrial uses. The property has the characteristics desired of lands to be designated for light industrial uses: good topography, access to good roadway systems, and access to utilities. The site is accessed by E. Gov. John Sevier Hwy. and is within 2 miles of an interstate interchange. Amendment of the sector plan designation will provide opportunities for the continued growth of Knox County?s economy.
Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution # 5-B-18-SP, amending the East County Sector Plan to GC (General Commercial) and recommend the Knox County Commission also adopt the sector plan amendment.
