Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the Master Sign Plan for Harvest Towne Center and the designation of the new development directory sign for the commercial center as presented in this application, subject to 5 conditions:
1. Removal of the existing monument sign (Ruby Tuesday sign) that is located on Tax Parcel 058MA012 prior to installation of the new development directory sign on that parcel.
2. Removal of the off-premise businesses that are listed on the original development directory sign that was approved by the Planning Commission on November 13, 2003 (11-H-03-UR) for Tax Parcel 058MA017. That sign will still identify The Chop House, Harvest Towne Wine & Spirits and one additional tenant, which are on-premise businesses. This sign will no longer be considered as a development directory sign.
3. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance's sign regulations. Any signs within the Harvest Towne Center unified development that are non-conforming signs under the sign regulations, are subject to the legal nonconforming sign provisions of the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance.
4. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knoxville Department of Engineering.
5. Upon receipt of a consent letter from the owner of Tax Parcel 058MA025 to be a part of the Harvest Towne Center unified development, a business on that site would be eligible for their business sign to be located on the development directory sign.

With the conditions noted above, this proposal meets all requirements of the C-3 and O-1 zoning districts, as well as other criteria for approval of a use on review.
