      PR

      PR (Planned Residential)

      The regulations established in this zone are intended to provide optional methods of land development which encourage more imaginative solutions to environmental design problems. Residential areas thus established would be characterized by a unified building and site development program, open space for recreation and provision for commercial, religious, educational, and cultural facilities which are integrated with the total project by unified architectural and open space treatment.

Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning at a density up to 3 dwelling units per acre
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.
