# Co Com R 267 261109 Zoning

The Knox County zoning meeting, held November 9, 2026, considered a street-name change and several rezoning requests. Commissioners approved changing South Gallagher View Road to Caboose Lane, approved low-density residential rezonings for properties on Overton Lane and Morris Road, and approved a plan-residential rezoning near West Emery Road at three dwelling units per acre. Items 3, 7, and 8 were deferred to December. The transcript identifies no contract awards, vendor selections, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity.

The larger West Emery Road-area development approval followed discussion of traffic, school capacity, emergency access, and neighborhood impacts. Approval included Planning Commission conditions and an additional requirement for a nonlinear internal street network with traffic-calming measures, subject to Knox County Engineering and Public Works approval. The applicant also described roadway improvements and a traffic study to be funded by the developer; these are development conditions, not county procurement actions. Another rezoning request was approved with conditions for limited access, a wildlife-preservation easement, and a walking path.
