This application again reveals that the code was written with exclusive expectation for heavy development in these districts (not just C-N, but also I-MU, C-G, etc). Why are buffer yards required for low density housing developments in C-N (and others) but not for the same developments in any RN district? Obviously there is a discrepancy here that needs to be corrected.

On behalf of the Karns community members, neighbors and concerned citizens: I am writing to strongly urge you to NOT VOTE on the REZONING of 3110 GRAY HENDRIX ROAD as this is adjacent to 7551 OAK RIDGE HIGHWAY. The property owner has engaged in a land-swap to allow for a possible development to be built there. We as community members and property owners OPPOSE the request for the zoning to change. It should stay the same with Agricultural Zoning. We do not want PLANNED RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL.- leave it alone. Our community cannot withstand the overwhelming population increase this will cause as well as the overcrowding of local schools. We already have these overcrowding issues and traffic issues. Adding to this issue is not resolving it. In addition, our traffic on Oak Ridge Highway cannot handle adding additional traffic to the already heavy congested area. Nearby residents cannot get out of their driveways now and the morning and afternoon congestion backs up for over 2 miles or so every single day. Oak Ridge Highway has become very dangerous, we do not have safety measures for walkability (NO SIDEWALKS are available). Numerous individuals walk to school, the grocery store and other destinations and some accidents with injuries have happened to pedestrians already.
