Applicable Guidelines
Fort Sanders NC-1, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 13, 2000.
See Guidelines- I. DEMOLITION
- Property owners may demolish structures in the NC-I District that the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) finds to be non-contributing to the district. A report, dated July/August 2000, establishes the location of non-contributing structures at the time that the NC-I district was under consideration. In the future, the Historic Zoning Commission shall take the following into account in making their determination about whether or not a building may be demolished.
- 1. PHYSICAL CONDITION:
- The HZC may allow demolition if a building has been condemned by the City of Knoxville for structural reasons, or if the HZC finds that structural problems and associated costs to address the problems warrant demolition; the decision shall be based on an assessment by a licensed structural engineer or architect.
- 2. ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY:
- The HZC may allow demolition if the original design is so compromised that historic architectural integrity is lost and cannot, in the Commission's view, be reasonably re-established.
