Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
    • The Old North Knoxville design guidelines lack specific guidelines relating to demolition. Guidance for demolition from other overlays is displayed below. These design guidelines are not the adopted guidelines for Old North Knoxville, but can assist in guiding a discussion of the proposed demolition. 
    • Fourth & Gill H Overlay:
    • Demolition creates a permanent change in the historic district, removing part of the neighborhood's historic and architectural significance. Demolition should only be considered when all other opportunities have been discounted.
    • 1.  Demolition of any original feature or part of a historic building should be avoided. 
    • 2.  Demolition of any building which contributes to the historic or architectural significance of the Fourth & Gill neighborhood should not occur unless public health and safety require the removal of the building or structure. 
    • 3.  Demolition may be considered if the building does not contribute to the historical or architectural character of the district.
    • Fort Sanders NC Overlay:
    • 1.  Physical Condition: The Historic Zoning Commission may allow demolition of a building that has been condemned by the City of Knoxville for structural reasons. Demolition may also be allowed if the Historic Zoning Commission finds that structural problems and the costs to address those problems warrant demolition; the decision shall be based on an assessment by a licensed structural engineer or architect.
    • 2.  Architectural Integrity: The Historic Zoning Commission 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 reestablished.
