Staff Recommendation
Approve the Concept Plan subject to 6 conditions.
1. Connection to sanitary sewer and meeting any other relevant requirements of the utility provider.
2. Provision of a street name which is consistent with the Uniform Street Naming and Addressing System within Knox County (Ord. 91-1-102).
3. Verifying the total number of allowed residential lots when the subdivision is platted using the surveyed acreage of the property. The total number of lots is based on the maximum density of 4 du/ac of the approved PR zoning. The concept plan states the property is 19.46 acres and the proposed 79 lots has a density of 4.06 du/ac which is greater than the approved zoning density. The surveyed acreage of the development must be a minimum of 19.75 acres to allow 79 lots, otherwise total number of lots must be reduced to be compliant with the zoning on the property.
4. Meeting all conditions of Concept Plan approval for the Dorchester (Unit 1) subdivision (9-SC-19-C), including but not limited to widening Carpenter Road from the subdivision entrance south to the entrance for Carpenter Ridge subdivision (Ridgewalk Lane), establishing the minimum sight distance at the subdivision entrance in both directions along Carpenter Road, obtaining off-site grading easements if needed for the construction of the entrance road (Road A), installation of sidewalks as identified on the concept plan, and providing the required sinkhole buffer, if necessary, on the final plat.
5. Prior to certification of the final plat for the subdivision, establishing a property owners association that will be responsible for maintenance of the common area, any amenities and the drainage system.
6. Submitting to Planning staff prior to final plat review by the Planning Commission or Planning staff, the certification of design plan approval form as required by the Knoxville-Knox County Subdivision Regulations.

Case History

This program aims to increase transit in disadvantaged communities and reduce the impact of climate change. Knoxville-Knox County Planning, in partnership with KAT and the city, will develop a Transit-based Opportunities Map to identify locations for development along key transit corridors that target attainable housing and employment opportunities. Transit-oriented development (TOD) prioritizes efficient, equitable, sustainable development. It also helps reduce poverty and further benefit communities by:

  • Encouraging greater transit use,
  • Reducing automobile use,
  • Maximizing existing infrastructure
  • Reducing emissions, and
  • Providing mixed and low-income housing options.
