Staff Recommendation
DENY LDR (Low Density Residential) sector plan designation.
In keeping with the intent and mission of the Technology Corridor, the areas designated for technology park and related uses should be maintained. This is especially important on properties that front on and have exposure from Pellissippi Parkway, as is the case with this property. All of the properties between Solway Rd. and Pellissippi Parkway are appropriately proposed for either office or technology park uses on the Northwest County Sector Plan update, which is currently in progress. Also, the interchange of Pellissippi Parkway, Oak Ridge Highway and Solway Rd., to the north, is proposed to be improved by TDOT in the near future. These improvements will improve access to this site for appropriate technology park or office uses.
Disposition Summary
Adopt Resolution #12-B-15-SP, amending the Northwest County Sector Plan to LDR (Low Density Residential) sector plan designation and recommend the Knox County Commission also adopt the amendment.
