Staff Recommendation
Approve the RN-5 (General Residential Neighborhood) district because it is consistent with the recommended land use classification and it would allow more flexibility for a broader range of housing types.
The HP (Hillside Protection) Overlay would be retained.

PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF KNOXVILLE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 16.1.E, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE MET FOR ALL REZONINGS:

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. While there have been several commercial developments in the broader area over the last fifteen years, the property has remained undeveloped since it was assigned a commercial zoning district in 1996. Approval of the RN-5 district would allow development that is consistent with other residential developments in the area.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE APPLICABLE ZONING ORDINANCE:
1. The RN-5 district intends to accommodate medium density residential neighborhoods comprising a heterogeneous mix of single-family, two-family, townhouse, and multifamily dwellings.
2. The current C-H-1 district allows townhouses and multifamily developments, though the C-H zoning districts require a minimum lot area of 10,000 sq ft and a minimum lot width of 60 ft. The proposed RN-5 district would allow more flexibility for some residential uses, including townhouses, which could lead to a broader range of housing types.
3. Rezonings should be based on the entire range of uses allowed within a zone to ensure that any development brought forth at a future time would be compatible with the surrounding land uses.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT SHALL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT ANY OTHER PART OF THE CITY, NOR SHALL ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS RESULT FROM SUCH AMENDMENT.
1. The proposed amendment is not expected to have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding area as it is a less intensive district than C-H-1.
2. Approximately 2.6 acres of this 9.1-acre property is within the HP Overlay area. Any development would be subject to the disturbance budget shown on the slope analysis.
3. There is a cemetery on the northeast corner of the property. Property owners shall meet the obligations stated in TCA 46-8-103, which includes providing a 10 ft buffer surrounding the perimeter of a graveyard.

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 RN-5 district is consistent with the recommended MU-SD NWC-1 (Callahan Drive Mixed Use Special District) classification of the Northwest City Sector Plan and One Year Plan.
2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan's Development Policy 9.3, which calls to ensure that the context of new development, including scale and compatibility, does not impact existing neighborhoods and communities.

ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SCHOOLS, PARKS, POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION, ROADS, SANITARY SEWERS, AND WATER LINES, OR ARE REASONABLY CAPABLE OF BEING PROVIDED PRIOR TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IF THE AMENDMENT WERE ADOPTED:
1. This is an urbanized area with adequate utility infrastructure. The property has easy vehicular access to commercial services along nearby classified streets.
