Staff Recommendation

APPROVE C-4 (Highway and Arterial Commercial) zoning limited to development guided generally by the concepts, guidelines and overall intent set forth in MPC's Farmers Market Study as determined by the Design Review Committee for the property.

---

The C-4 zone will allow the site to be developed as per the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants as recorded by the Industrial Development Board of Knox County in January, 2005. The former Knox County Industrial zone allowed retail sales, but none of the City's industrial districts permits retail sales, thus requiring a commercial zone proposal for this site.
