The Knox Community Planning Alliance asks the Planning Commission to respect the Advance Knox process that resulted in the new comprehensive land use plan map that was adopted in April. New locations for Town Centers were actively and intentionally sought during the Advance Knox process. They are viewed as ideal ways to concentrate retail, residents, offices and recreation in a walkable area. The Town Center area in south Knox, on both sides of Chapman Highway, is an important element to the plan. The plan has an ction item to create incentives for more town center-style developments (action 4.3). We ask that you respect the plan and work that went into it, and not change it just a few months after it was adopted. Allow the new zoning districts to be created for this Town Center placetype (action 4.1). The request also changes Parks and Open Space placetype area to Commercial Mixed Use, and if this is removed, the closest recreational area would be French Memorial Park. KCPA requests that you deny the proposed sector plan amendment.

We ask that this plan amendment as well as the rezoning request be tabled and never returned to the agenda. This proposal has created such turmoil in the community, is clearly not in keeping with the rural nature of the community and is as convoluted as any plan that's ever come before planning. Thank you.

Please see the attached petition including over 1000 signatures of our community who are against this rezoning by Thunder Mountain. We want the ball park completed before this property is rezoned because they have donated unusable land to rebuild this park on.
