How to read this history

Each step below is a separate action the City Council took at a separate meeting, oldest first. A later step does not undo an earlier one — an item can be introduced, postponed, amended, and taken up again as it moves through the process. A deferral, in particular, just postpones an item to a later meeting; it is not a rejection. Some items, such as ordinances, are voted on at more than one meeting before they take effect.

  1. Step 1

    September 5, 2023

    An Ordinance approving the appeal of R. Bentley Marlow to overturn the Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission’s recommendation that Zoning Code amendments to enable middle housing in the City follow the process of implementation as defined by Opticos Design, Inc. in the September 2022 Missing Middle Housing (MMH) Scan and the Missing Middle Housing book, thereby remanding the requested amendments to the Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission to consider adoption of amendments to the Knoxville City Code, Appendix B, Zoning Code, to Article 11.3 Location and Setbacks, to amend interior side and rear setbacks for residential uses; Article 11.4, Table 11-2 Required Off-street Parking, to remove required off-street spaces for five residential uses; and Article 11.4.B, Exemptions and Flexibilities, to add two minimum vehicle parking reductions, R. Bentley Marlow, Applicant. (Planning Commission File No. 8-D-23-OA) (Planning Commission vote to adopt 13-0) (All Council Districts).(Requested by Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission)
