In Appendix B, Article 6, Section 1 of the city of Knoxville's Code of Ordinances, General Industrial Zoning Districts "allow for a range of general industrial uses", which may "[render] them incompatible with retail, service, or residential uses."
This lot is directly across Inskip Dr. from a single-family home, and literally adjacent to the Rand Sylvia apartment complex. I think that allowing this property to be rezoned from Neighborhood Commercial to General Industrial doesn't make any sense given the surrounding properties. The uses allowed by General Industrial zoning would absolutely affect the quality of life and the character of the surrounding community, and definitely impact the flow of traffic on Inskip Dr.
As a member of this community, I urge you to not approve this rezoning case.

We agree wholeheartedly with Planning staff on denial of increasing the zoning on this property from single family to multi-family use. The Inskip area has been inundated with multi-family housing over the years. This would also increase the traffic on roads that have not been improved or updated in years. Please uphold staff's recommendation to not change the zoning or the plan amendments for this property.
