Design Review Board conditionally approves plans for apartment complex in downtown Knoxville, after several delays [Video]

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville’s Design Review Board conditionally approved a proposal to build a new apartment complex with views of the Tennessee River.

The board previously postponed a vote on the plans in May and April, saying developers needed to provide more information about pedestrian safety and a final site plan, as well as details on a parking garage that meets the city’s standards.

In May, it made six specific recommendations that the board should address, such as providing information about pedestrian safety measures. On June 20, the board gave the plans a certificate of appropriateness and said it should be approved as long as developers meet four specific conditions, listed below.
