Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density of up to 3 du/ac (Applicant requested 5 du/ac).
PR zoning at the recommended density will allow reasonable development of the site, consistent with the sector plan and compatible with surrounding zoning and surrounding built environment. The average of the actual built density of the four closest detached residential subdivisions is less than 3 du/ac, therefore staff is recommending a density for this site which will be compatible with the surrounding development pattern.
Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density up to 3 dwelling units per acre

Case History

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.
