Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the CR (Rural Commercial) zoning.Staff recommends approval of the plan amendment to CR (Rural Commercial) zoning because the property has been historically used as a commercial greenhouse operation and is now unused and blighted. The property previously provided retail agricultural-related commercial uses for the adjacent community and these conditions warrant reconsideration of the existing zoning to allow for CR (Rural Commercial) zoning at this location.

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.
