Disposition Summary
Recommend the Knox County Commission APPROVE rezoning to PC (Planned Commercial) and F (Floodway) zoning.
Details of Action
Recommend the Knox County Commission APPROVE rezoning to PC (Planned Commercial) and F (Floodway) zoning.
Staff Recommendation
DENY the rezoning to CA (General Business) / F (Floodway) zoning, consistent with the denial recommendation for the associated sector plan amendment.
This site is located too far away from the established commercial node to the west to be appropriate for CA zoning. Also, there are two nearby sites, one to the west, zoned PC and one to the east, zoned CA, that are unused, making it unnecessary to rezone more property in the area to commercial, which is not consistent with the sector plan proposals for the area.
