This proposal is for three additional house lots, increasing the total to 119 lots in the Enclave at Harvey Subdivision (formerly Harvey Lane Subdivision). The concept plan and development plan, which included 116 lots, were approved in November 2024 (11-SB-24-C and 11-B-24-DP). This request does not include a concept plan application because the construction of phase 1 of the subdivision has commenced, the road layout and stormwater plan are unchanged, and there are fewer than six new lots.

The three additional lots (117-119) are located on the southeast side of the Road 'A' and Road 'B' intersection, near the Harvey Road access. This area was originally proposed as a common area with a stream to the south and the mail kiosk along the frontage (see Exhibit B for the original plan approval). The common area and mail kiosk were moved closer to Harvey Road in an area that was formerly part of lot 88.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANALYSIS PER ARTICLE 6, SECTION 6.50.06 (APPROVAL OR DENIAL)
In the exercise of its administrative judgment, the Planning Commission shall determine if the proposed plan is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and adopted plans.

1) ZONING ORDINANCE
PR (Planned Residential) up to 3 du/ac:
A) The PR zone allows detached houses as a permitted use. The administrative procedures for the PR zone require the Planning Commission to approve the development plan before permits can be issued (Article 5, Section 5.13.15).
B) The gross density of the Enclave at Harvey Subdivision with the additional lots is 2.8 du/ac.

2) KNOX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - FUTURE LAND USE MAP
A) The property is classified as the RL (Rural Living) place type on the Future Land Use Map. Rural Living areas are primarily made up of single-family residential within a rural setting. These areas may include agriculture, open space, and some limited commercial uses that support agriculture and civic uses.
B. Single-family residential on a wide range of lot sizes is a primary use in the RL place type. - The proposed single-family development with varying lot sizes is consistent with the RL place type.
C. The proposal conforms to the form attributes of the RL place type, which recommends building heights of 1-2 stories. - The maximum height is 35 ft for houses in the PR zone.
3) KNOX COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES
A) The buildable area of the lots is outside the riparian buffers and wetlands identified on the development plan. This is consistent with Policy 7, which is to encourage development practices that conserve and connect natural features and habitat.

4) KNOXVILLE - FARRAGUT - KNOX COUNTY GROWTH POLICY PLAN
A) The property is within the Planned Growth Area. The purposes of the Planned Growth Area designation are to encourage a reasonably compact pattern of development, promote expansion of the Knox County economy, offer a wide range of housing choices, and coordinate the actions of the public and private sectors, particularly with regard to provision of adequate roads, utilities, schools, drainage and other public facilities and services. - The proposed development is consistent with the growth plan.
