PURSUANT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, CHAPTER 3 IMPLEMENTATION, A PLAN AMENDMENT MAY BE APPROPRIATE IF THERE IS AN OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMISSION IN THE PLAN, OR IF TWO OR MORE OF THE OTHER CRITERIA APPLY.

OBVIOUS OR SIGNIFICANT ERROR OR OMMISSION IN THE PLAN:
There is no error or omission in the plan.

OR, IF THERE ARE NO ERRORS OR OMMISSIONS, TWO OF THE FOLLOWING CRITIERIA MUST BE MET:

CHANGES OF CONDITIONS (SUCH AS SURROUNDING LAND USES, ZONING, UNCONTROLLED NATURAL FORCES/DISASTERS, ETC:
1. The area has been transitioning to office land uses in both the city and county in this area since the early 2000s.

INTRODUCTION OF SIGNIFICANT NEW UTILITIES OR LOCAL/STATE/FEDERAL ROAD PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE PLAN AND MAKE DEVELOPMENT MORE FEASIBLE:
1. This property is just off of Kingston Pike at the I-40 interchange. Kingston Pike in this area is a part of a citywide advanced traffic management system project. This capital improvement project will design, install and integrate new fiber optic communications, various major traffic signal components, and new signal timing patterns along the major arterials of Kingston Pike, Chapman Highway, and N Broadway. The project includes these upgrades to 96 existing signalized intersections. Fiber optic communications will route to the City's Public Works Service Center for better monitoring and maintenance of the City's signalization network.

NEW DATA REGARDING TRENDS OR PROJECTIONS, POPULATION, HOUSING CONDITIONS, OR TRAFFIC GROWTH THAT WARRANT RECONSIDERATION OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN:
1. There is no new data or trends that warrant a change to the newly adopted plan.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES SUPPORT THE POLICIES AND ACTIONS, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND CRITERIA OF THE PLAN:
1. The OB zone at this location is consistent with Implementation Policy 2.1 to create buffer or transition standards. This site is between single family residential to the north and commercial to the south, which makes the office land use appropriate as it provides a transition between residential and commercial land uses.
