Disposition Summary
Approve the CC (Community Commercial) land use classification for the northern portion of the property as shown on the agenda map because it is consistent with the surrounding development.
Staff Recommendation
Approve the CC (Community Commercial) land use classification for the northern portion of the property as shown on the agenda map because it is consistent with the surrounding development.
This request is to rezone a split parcel with separate zones for each portion of the parcel, with corresponding plan amendments for the northern portion of the parcel.
PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE ONE YEAR PLAN, CHAPTER 1, PLAN AMENDMENT, ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA MUST BE MET FOR ALL ONE YEAR PLAN AMENDMENTS (may meet any of these):
AN ERROR IN THE PLAN:
1. There are no apparent errors in the One Year Plan regarding the requested CC classification.
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN, OR THE COMPLETION OF A PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT (ROAD, PARK, SEWER), WHICH CHANGES THE BASIS ON WHICH THE PLAN WAS DEVELOPED FOR AN AREA.
1. Over the last twenty years, the Washington Pike/I-640 area has transformed into a significant commercial node that provides an array of service-oriented amenities, retail establishments, and recreational spaces. An amendment to the CC land use class is more in line with development trends in this area.
A CHANGE IN PUBLIC POLICY, UNANTICIPATED BY THE PLAN.
1. There have not been any known changes in government policy that warrant a plan amendment to the CC land use class.
NEW INFORMATION (INCLUDING NEW PLANS AND STUDIES PRODUCED BY KNOXVILLE-KNOX COUNTY PLANNING) BECOMING AVAILABLE, WHICH REVEALS THE NEED FOR A PLAN AMENDMENT.
1. No new plans or studies have been produced that reveal the need for a plan amendment.
