Approve closure of a portion of Chimney Top Lane between its original terminus and a point 65.17 ft. to the southwest to support construction of the berm along Pellissippi Parkway, subject to 3 conditions.

The applicant must redesign and provide legal access for any properties that may be subject to a land-locking condition as a result of this closure. The redesign and access must be approved by City Engineering and/or Knoxville-Knox County Planning.
2. The applicant shall have one (2) years to complete the conditions listed above, unless otherwise stated in a particular item, or the closure shall be considered null and void and of no effect.
3. The closing ordinance shall state that this closure shall become effective only after the Engineering Department has provided written verification, to the City Recorder, that conditions have been satisfactorily met.

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.
