Commission clears multiple subdivision and rezoning items and presents officer slate for next term

The Knoxville–Knox County Planning Commission handled a range of routine and substantive items, approving consent items, several subdivision proposals, and multiple planned‑residential rezonings per staff recommendations.

Notable votes included: approval of the Arcadia Peninsula resubdivision (variance and final plat); multiple approvals for Masana Investments applications (varying tract sizes and negotiated densities, including approval of a PR zone up to 4 DU/acre on some tracts and 3 DU/acre on another after discussion); and approval of the development plan for a 103‑unit attached residential subdivision at 8721 High School Road (Gregory Development) subject to conditions.

Commissioners approved motions to postpone or withdraw certain items and removed some items from the table after motions by Vice Chair Ooten. Committee chair Rich Levinson presented a recommended slate of officers for 2024–25 (Chair Tim Hill to remain as chair; Commissioner Huber for vice chair); the body approved the slate for presentation and will vote in June.

Most motions were approved per staff recommendations; several items will proceed to subsequent engineering, permitting and, where applicable, council or county commission review.
