DENY the request for a 207 unit apartment complex at this location in the PR (Planned Residential) Zoning District based on Staff's recommendation.
Staff recommended denial because the request does not comply with the Use-on-Review development standards (Article 4, Section 2 of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance)
The key issues on which the recommendation of denial is based include:
1. The proposed 10 unit per acre development is not consistent with the Southwest County Sector Plan's low density residential designation (up to 5 du/ac).
2. The multi-family development is not compatible with the established low density single-family neighborhoods that surround the property on three sides due to the intensity, scale and type of units proposed.
3. A 200% increase in traffic that would be directed through the single-family subdivision to the north.
4. The project's design has little consideration for pedestrian access throughout the development.
