Case Notes
− +Disposition Summary
Planning Commission recommends approval of OS-2 (Park and Open Space) district.Staff Recommendation
Approve OS-2 (Park and Open Space) district.Staff recommends approval of the OS-2 (Park and Open Space) district to reflect the proposed use of the area as the gateway for the Urban Wilderness park lands. The area is within the city limits of Knoxville and is surrounded by low density residential uses and South Doyle Middle School, which would benefit from being adjacent to parkland and open space. The OS-2 zoning also protects the steep sloped forested areas by designating this area for park uses.
