The City Administration supports the Design Review Board's (DRB) unanimous vote for approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness for the case 4-D-24-DT, at the corner of Hill and Locust. The applicant has responded to recommendations and feedback from Knoxville Knox County Planning staff, members of the DRB, and a community meeting of adjacent neighbors in an initial workshop and three separate DRB meetings. Based on that input, design revisions were made specifically focusing on scale, massing, materiality, and pedestrian experience. We agree with and support the DRB decision for Certificate of Appropriateness and that the project meets the intent of the design guidelines.
