Applicable Guidelines
Fort Sanders NC-1, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 13, 2000.
See Guidelines- J. Demolition
- Property owners may demolish structures in the NC District that the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) finds to be non-contributing to the district. A report, dated July/August 2000, establishes the location of non-contributing structures at the time that the NC district was under consideration. In the future, the Historic Zoning Commission shall take the following into account in making their determination about whether or not a building may be demolished.
- 1. Physical Condition: The HZC may allow demolition if a building has been condemned by the City of Knoxville for structural reasons, or if the HZC finds that structural problems and associated costs to address the problems warrant demolition; the decision shall be based on an assessment by a licensed structural engineer or architect.
- 2. Architectural Condition: The HZC may allow demolition if the original design is so compromised that historic architectural integrity is lost and cannot, in the Commission's view, be reasonably re-established.
