Stakeholder Advisory Committee Reconvenes

The Recode Knoxville Stakeholder Advisory Committee will reconvene to work through points of clarification requested by City Council. The group last met in January and will meet again for the first time since the adoption of the updated zoning code on September 25, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. in the Small Assembly Room of the City County Building. The committee will continue to meet on a regular basis for two years following the codification of the ordinance. Meetings will be held as needed to maintain a strong channel of communication between those on the committee serving as community representatives, Planning and City staff, and City Council.
