Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
DENY CA (General Business) zoningAdditional CA zoning in this rural residential area would be detrimental to the established residential land use pattern since many of the CA permitted uses would be incompatible with the adjoining residential uses. The established billboards have nonconforming status under the Knox County Zoning ordinance and may continue to be maintained under the current A zone. The applicant contends that the current A zoning was done in error when the Knox County Zoning maps were readopted in the early 1980's and has submitted County Commission actions zoning the property CA in the 1970's in support of this position. The sector plan proposes low density residential use for this site.
