The
General Plan presents broad, long range principles, concepts and policies
that deal with a 525 square mile jurisdiction and a 30-year timeframe.
The Planning Commission also develops and maintains a series of more
specialized plans to provide specific guidance for plan implementation,
community development and capital improvements programming. These fall
into three categories:
Sector
Plans
Knoxville and Knox County are divided into twelve planning sectors
for planning purposes. Fifteen-year sector plans emphasizing land
use and capital projects are updated on a six-year cycle. These plans
can also be amended by special studies requested by the Planning Commission
or upon application by a property owner.
Closely
related to the sector plans is the City of Knoxville One Year Plan.
This is a land use plan with very specific land use recommendations,
updated annually through a citizen participation process.
Facility
Plans
These plans are specific to one type of countywide system of facilities,
such as roads or parks.
Small
Area Plans
These plans address neighborhoods, districts or corridors. They are
usually undertaken to address specific problems or opportunities.
They are adopted as amendments to the sector plans and, generally,
supersede some of the sector plan recommendations. Many of the small
area plans are more detailed and more implementation minded than the
broader policy plans.
