PURSUANT TO THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, ARTICLE 6.30.01, THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET FOR ALL REZONINGS (must meet all of these):

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGED OR CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THE AREA AND DISTRICTS AFFECTED, OR IN THE CITY/COUNTY GENERALLY:
1. The subject property is in a rural area that borders large, long-established agricultural properties and newer residential subdivisions that have been developed at an increasing pace in the past 20 years. The proposed downzoning is a minor extension of A (Agricultural) zoning to the north and east of the subject property, and supports preservation of the rural character of the area.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE APPLICABLE ZONING ORDINANCE:
1. The A zone is intended for agricultural and low density residential uses, which is compatible with the existing development pattern of farmland and single family detached homes on large lots.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PART OF THE COUNTY, NOR SHALL ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS RESULT FROM SUCH AMENDMENT:
1. There are no adverse impacts anticipated with the proposed zoning change.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH AND NOT IN CONFLICT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN OF KNOXVILLE AND KNOX COUNTY, INCLUDING ANY OF ITS ELEMENTS, MAJOR ROAD PLAN, LAND USE PLAN, COMMUNITY FACILITIES PLAN, AND OTHERS:
1. The A zone is consistent with the Northeast County Sector Plan's LDR (Low Density Residential) land use designation for the property.
2. The proposed rezoning is not in conflict with the General Plan, the Growth Policy Plan or any other adopted plans for the area.
