2 Tennessee Technology Corridor Development Authority Meeting Date: September, 00 (postponed from August 7, 00) Application #: Applicant: Aarron Gray Permit Requested: Building Permit (for Grading) CLT Map & Parcel #: Location: Zoning: Existing Land Use: Proposed Land Use: Appx. Size of Tract: Accessibility: Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: 0 Northeast side Schaefer Rd., northeast of Lovell Rd. OB (Business & Manufacturing)/TO (Technology Overlay) Vacant land Expansion of office park. acres Access is via a new right-of-way connected to Schaeffer Rd., a minor collector street, with ft. of pavement within a 0-ft. right-of-way. North: PR/TO Single-family residential South: BP/TO Proposed office park East: A/TO Vacant land West: A/TO Single-family residential Comments: This is a request for approval of a grading permit that will allow development to proceed on Lot of a -lot office park on Schaeffer Rd., north of Lovell Rd. Development plans were previously approved for Lots and, with a revised plan approved for Lot. A new plan is required for Lot because the zoning was changed from BP to OB, and a different layout has been proposed for the property. The plan proposes grading of a portion of the office park site that is characterized by steep slopes and includes substantial mature vegetation. Preliminary plans have been revised to show three buildings to be constructed, representing approximately,70 sq. ft. of new office space, in two- and three-story buildings. Part of the proposal includes a new ft.-wide road and cul-de-sac that will provide access for this lot to Schaeffer Rd. to the south. The plan submittal does not include building elevations, landscaping, proposed signage, or interior floor plans. Design Guideline Conformity: The plan does not conform to the Design Guidelines regarding () allowing development on property with steep slopes and () a reduced front yard setback. Waivers and Variances Requested: Waivers to allow () development on slopes greater than % and () reduction in the front yard setback from 00 ft. to 0 ft. Staff Recommendation: Based on the application and plans as submitted, the staff recommends DENIAL of this request for a Certificate of Appropriateness for a Building Permit (for grading only), due the plan s proposal to disturb a substantial portion of the site where there are slopes in excess of %.

3 Comments: The applicant has been working on this plan for several months in an attempt to prepare a proposal that would address the property s steep slopes and the TTCDA Board s concerns about increasing disturbance on the corridor s steeper terrain. The grading plan, as presented and if approved, would allow the development of the last lot in a three-lot business park subdivision. Some grading has already occurred on the Lots and. The subject lot is zoned OB (Office, Medical & Related Services) and the remaining two lots are zoned BP (Business & Technology Park). Although the plan presented does respond to suggestions to reduce the number of building pads and to increase overall building height, from to stories, the plan is unchanged from the previous layout regarding the amount of grading proposed in that virtually the same amount of disturbed area is shown. In addition, the plan now shows an increase of over,000 sq. ft. of building space over the previous total. The attached slope analysis map shows the affected property, with the proposed layout as an overlay. The lot contains approximately. acres, 8.% of which is has slopes in excess of %. Another.7 % is between and %. One of the primary objectives of the Design Guidelines is to provide protection of those portions of the corridor where slopes are in excess of %, thus preserving the area s hilly terrain. Regarding this request, too much of Lot will be disturbed to warrant approval of the grading plan.

Size of Tract: Accessibility: Surrounding Zoning and Land Use: 0 00 Northwest side of Hardin Valley Rd., northwest of Thompson Rd. BP (Business & Technology Park)/TO (Technology Overlay) PR (Planned dus/ac/to (Technology Overlay) Vacant land Attached residential development The subject property has been zoned BP/TO since the creation of the Technology Corridor in the early 980 s. No. acres Access is via Hardin Valley Rd., a four-lane, minor arterial street, with a center median, at this location. North: BP/TO Pellissippi Corporate Center vacant land South: A/TO Single-family residential East: A/TO, RA/TO Vacant land, single-family residential West: BP/TO Business uses in Pellissippi Corporate Center, church Neighborhood Context: The subject property is located between a portion of the Pellissippi Corporate Center to the west and a single-family subdivision to the east. The Pellissippi Corporate Center, under the authority of the Knox County Development Corporation, continues to develop with business park uses, while the single family subdivision also continues to develop. Analysis and Concerns: The subject property is situated at a point of transition between lowdensity residential development to the east and business park property to the west and north. The current designation for the property is technology park uses in both the Comprehensive Development Plan and the Northwest County Sector Plan. The property s poor accessibility by means of a 0 ft. plus wide strip and lack of clear exposure to either Hardin Valley Rd. or Pellissippi Parkway suggest that a use other than technology park development would be more appropriate at this location. A factor in favor of maintaining the property for technology park uses is it s proximity to Pellissippi Corporate Center. Although the request is for PR (Planned Residential) development at dwellings per acre, the property s relatively small size might suggest a development layout that is medium density residential in appearance and function. This would be a good transition from the single-family residential pattern from the east. This request was approved by the Planning Commission on August 0, 00 (files # 8-F-0-SP and 8-U-0-RZ.)

11 Staff Recommendation: Based on the application as submitted, the staff recommends APPROVAL of a Certificate of Appropriateness for a Rezoning, from BP (Business & Technology Park) to PR (Planned dwellings per acre, within the T0 (Technology Overlay.)
