Commissioner Frazier

I wasn’t specific enough in my citation of the provision allowing rezonings to be initiated by the Commission. The provision is not found in the Charter, it’s found in the zoning ordinances of the Knox County Code, Appendix A:

You requested a state statute. I am relying on what appears to be a longstanding provision in the charter that allows the Commission to apply for a rezoning: Art. 6, Sec. 6.30. In Agenda Item 15, the 2002 case file summary for 4-M-02-RZ, which was uploaded, reveals that the Commission was the applicant and initiated that rezoning.

This is actually Agenda Item 19

Each one of the proposed findings contains the immediate previous zoning case number. Also, Dru uploaded relevant documents to the cases that can be viewed by clicking through the online agenda.

I drafted proposed resolutions for each one of these agenda items, which I will post separately. Because it’s unusual for a commissioner to draft a proposed resolution, we were trying to work through how a resolution number gets assigned. You can click through to the resolutions now, but I was planning on posting these separately anyways, to give everyone extra notice.

Thank you Madam Chair, for your response. I do intend to bring up this proposed resolution under Section 1 B.

[Andy Fox]

Thank you Commissioner Frazier!
