SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Plans are in motion to rezone portions of undeveloped land in Sevierville, paving the way for a proposed new community that will include more than 1,000 of homes, three parks and a commercial area on Red Bank Road.
Thursday, the Sevierville Planning Commission agreed to hear out D.R. Horton, a national developer who hopes to bring the project to the East Tennessee town, and possibly rezone 444 acres to make way for the project. The developer now just has to flesh out some details in its expansive plan, something it could do as soon as the commission’s next meeting.
As for the proposal itself, it would bring around 1,200 single-family homes and duplexes to Sevierville, along with three parks and a dedicated commercial space. The development is planned to span around 445 acres and includes a “main park,” “secondary park” and “pocket park.”…
