Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knoxville-Knox County Design Review Board has passed a proposal to bring a parking garage and apartments to the Old City.
The proposal comes from Nick Patel of Turkey Creek Hospitality and outlines buildings that would be located at 207 E. Jackson Avenue which is currently a parking lot. That location is also just down the street from Knoxville’s new multi-use stadium, Covenant Health Park.
Patel’s proposal includes five stories of apartments above one story of retail with an adjacent six-story parking garage.
The board recommended the project with a few conditions, outlined below:
- Patel needs to provide more information about the ground-level utilities area
- The parking garage needs screen on the north and west elevations
- The final plan needs to meet city engineering standards
- Patel needs to resubmit signage as another application
- The final elevation drawings need to meet city zoning codes
