Re: Recode Knoxville Updates
Don't we have a choice? Why Recode, Knoxville never did enforce the codes.

April 4th Work Session
Attached is a compilation of comments regarding administration and process of the Zoning Code which had been submitted in response to previous drafts.
Thank you reading this and addressing it during the upcoming work session.
As you may know, I have had a 37-year career as a City Planner and currently live in East Knoxville.
I have participated in the rewriting of two zoning codes and am familiar with policy as well as development review and code enforcement.
Thank you for your time on this matter.
Very best

No House #
If there is no house # on lot, what does that mean?
I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean there is no number on the lot as shown on the Recode proposed zoning map?

Rezoning Areas
Pelase check this website https://maps.knoxmpc.org/MapSeries/recode.html?appid=361f37427c0a44a8b4fbcea4f412a8d9 to identify the current zoning of property and the proposed designation. Please note that all zoning district designations will change but the development standards may have minimal changes.

Project Update
Thanks for your email. Neither Knoxville-Knox County Planning nor the City of Knoxville builds apartments. I did a quick check of recent development applications and could find none for an apartment development in your area. If you can provide a location for the development you are referring to, I may be able to provide additional information.

My Neighborhood
I received a letter about this, but the instructions to check resining for a specific address do not work. There is no "map feedback" link that I see. I want to know what changes are proposed around me. It would be nice if your instructions matched the choices on the web page or were clearer if I'm missing something. This is what makes people hate government.

Hillside Protection
The hillside protection standards would place density and land disturbance limitations on new development located on properties within the HP overlay (properties with grades in excess of 15%). The greater the grade of the property, the greater the limitations on density and land disturbance. The hillside protection standards would not apply to existing single family homes and existing lots of record, so your home would be exempt. As a developed project, the apartment complex abutting your property would not be subject to any limitations either. If the apartment complex proposed expansion (new buildings), the hillside protection standards might limit density (# of dwelling units) and land disturbance.

1511 Washington Pk Knox 37917
Thanks for your email. The property at 1511 Washington Pike is currently zoned R-1A, single-family residential, and the proposed zoning isRN-2, single-family residential. The proposed RN-2 zoning is equivalent to the current R-1A zoning, You may want to inquire with the tax office regarding the classification of your property as commercial for tax purposes.

Hillside Ridgetop Protection Zone
The proposed Hillside Protection standards would limit the density (# of dwelling units) and the land disturbance permitted in new developments. The limitation would be on new developments on property with a slope of more than 15%. The limitations would not apply to existing single family homes and existing lots of record, nor would they restrict the cutting or planting of trees. The notation of HP on the zoning map is an indication that the property appears to be in the hillside area and that review of the property's slope is warranted.

Sw4 Zoning
As a new condo unit owner in the Southside Waterfront Neighborhood, I would like to express my interest in the Recode Knox project. Gerald was a speaker today at the TNSA Development Symposium conference. Very interesting. With regards to the form-based codes I offer the following basic concerns from an owner's perspective and fellow planner:
- 1. Form Based Codes - are they clear and predictable for the developer and landowner to understand what is and is not permitted? Are they easy and flexible to developer while still maintaining basic zoning principles?
- 2. How will the SW4 zoning district change or will it remain the same?
- 3. How is homeowner/unit owner parking determined, guest parking, overflow parking on site and on street determined? I ask because CityView has a parking problem. The side streets are technically owned by the city and thus not our designated overflow parking areas controlled by HOA. West Blount Avenue is also crowded. If the undeveloped parcels on either side are developed then we will really have an issue, especially during football season. Again, there is no guest parking on site. When the riverwalk is completed and more used by the public, will there be a parking area or trailhead with parking for the public or will they also use the side streets currently used by CityView?
- 4. Sidewalks are fantastic, and we thank you. However, still a need for at least 2 on site spaces per unit plus guest parking.
- Thank you for all that the city is doing to reinvest in South Knox and riverfront areas. It is becoming more walkable, connected, safer and revitalized - one project at a time.
