Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE PC (Planned Commercial) and F (Floodway) zoning, subject to 2 conditions.
1. All vegetation within the Beaver Creek floodplain along the southeast side of the property must be preserved. This area includes all land southeast of the bold, dashed line on the attached map entitled 'Floodplain'.
2. A minimum 20 feet wide easement must be provided within the proposed Beaver Creek Greenway Corridor (see attached 'Greenway' map) along the southeastern boundary of the site. The final width of the greenway easement must be approved by the Knox County Greenways Coordinator as part of the required use on review process.

With the recommended conditions above, PC zoning is consistent with the mixed use proposal of the newly adopted North County Sector Plan. The proposal is an extension of commercial zoning from the northeast.
