Asheville Highway corridor context — landmark relocation COAs can change what sits next door without a rezoning map change.

Knoxville-Knox County Planning’s Historic Zoning Commission agenda for Thursday, September 17, 2026, 8:30 a.m. in the Small Assembly Room posts Certificates of Appropriateness that include relocating the Moses Armstrong House Individual HZ Landmark at 6114 Asheville Hwy. under case 1-E-26-HZ.

For homeowners along Asheville Highway and in the city historic overlays listed the same morning, this is a preservation calendar day — not a rezoning hearing. The county landmark relocation sits beside city COAs for Scenic Drive, Old North Knoxville, and Edgewood-Park City.

County landmark: Moses Armstrong House relocation

Under Knox County Historic Zoning Commission Certificates of Appropriateness, the agenda lists Moses Armstrong House Individual HZ Landmark, 6114 Asheville Hwy./ Parcel ID 71 E C 001 071EC00101, Relocation of primary structure (1-E-26-HZ).

That line is the lead for East Knox County sellers: a landmark primary structure proposed to move, with the parcel ID written on the public agenda. The agenda does not print a destination address. Ask staff which receiving site, if any, is tied to the application materials before you underwrite a neighboring sale.

Field	Sept. 17 agenda language
Meeting	Thursday, September 17, 2026 — 8:30 A.M., Small Assembly Room
County COA	Moses Armstrong House Individual HZ Landmark
Address / parcel	6114 Asheville Hwy./ Parcel ID 71 E C 001 071EC00101
Request	Relocation of primary structure (1-E-26-HZ)
City — Scenic Drive NC	720 Scenic Dr./ Parcel ID 107 M E 038 — New front driveway (6-E-26-HZ)
City — Old North Knoxville H	1318 Armstrong Ave.; 210 Leonard Place; 1407 Grainger Ave.; 1416 Fremont Place
City — Edgewood-Park City H	1616 Washington Ave. — New secondary structure (9-A-26-HZ)

City COAs on the same morning

Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission Certificates of Appropriateness on the agenda include Scenic Drive NC at 720 Scenic Dr./ Parcel ID 107 M E 038 for a new front driveway (6-E-26-HZ).

Old North Knoxville H lists exterior rehabilitation at 1318 Armstrong Ave./ Parcel ID 81 L F 024 (7-B-26-HZ); exterior rehabilitation at 210 Leonard Place / Parcel ID 81 L H 010 (9-C-26-HZ); exterior rehabilitation and new deck at 1407 Grainger Ave./ Parcel ID 82 I A 027 (9-D-26-HZ); and exterior rehabilitation with a new secondary structure at 1416 Fremont Place / Parcel ID 81 L F 029 (9-F-26-HZ).

Edgewood-Park City H lists 1616 Washington Ave./ Parcel ID 82 P F 010 for a new secondary structure (9-A-26-HZ).

Those city files matter to listing agents who price porch, driveway, and accessory-dwelling work inside overlays. A COA is often the gate that decides whether a seller can finish a punch list before photos go live.

How landmark relocation shows up in a home sale

Moving a landmark primary structure is different from approving a subdivision plat. The sending lot can change its visual presence, construction staging, and what a buyer assumes will remain. The receiving site — if one is approved — can introduce a relocated historic house into a block that previously had a different skyline.

Sellers near 6114 Asheville Hwy. should ask KnoxPlanning for the application exhibits tied to 1-E-26-HZ and whether any conditions require the structure to remain on the same parcel, move intact, or meet foundation and setback standards at a new location. Buyers should put landmark and overlay contingencies in the inspection period instead of guessing from the one-line agenda entry.

Start with a free home valuation if your Asheville Highway comps suddenly include a moving landmark, or ask about a cash offer if you cannot wait on a Certificate calendar.

What’s happening in Knoxville this week

Confirm the Sept. 17 vote outcome for 1-E-26-HZ once minutes post.
If you list in Old North Knoxville, check whether 7-B-26-HZ, 9-C-26-HZ, 9-D-26-HZ, or 9-F-26-HZ sit on your buyer’s walking path.
Scenic Drive driveway COA 6-E-26-HZ is a curb-appeal file — ask whether apron and tree conditions apply.
Keep the county landmark relocation separate from any RN-2 or PR files you are tracking on other streets.

Knoxville homeowners who need to sell before they buy should treat historic Certificate calendars as underwriting, not trivia. Bring the case number and parcel ID to staff, then decide whether list price or possession date must move.

When does the Knox Historic Zoning Commission meet on the Moses Armstrong House file?

The September agenda lists Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in the Small Assembly Room for Certificates of Appropriateness.

What is case 1-E-26-HZ?

Under Knox County Historic Zoning Commission Certificates of Appropriateness, Moses Armstrong House Individual HZ Landmark at 6114 Asheville Hwy./ Parcel ID 71 E C 001 071EC00101 seeks relocation of the primary structure (1-E-26-HZ).

What address is listed for the Moses Armstrong House?

The agenda lists 6114 Asheville Hwy./ Parcel ID 71 E C 001 071EC00101 for the Moses Armstrong House Individual HZ Landmark relocation.

What should Asheville Highway sellers watch after a landmark relocation COA?

Ask KnoxPlanning how relocation conditions affect the sending parcel and the receiving site before you quote a buyer a demolition or rebuild timeline. Landmark moves can change what sits next door without changing the county zoning map overnight.

Homeowners who need to sell before they buy should treat local government calendars as part of the underwriting file. Bring the exact case number, tax map, or agenda item to staff, then decide whether list price, inspection length, or possession date needs to move. A free home valuation and a cash-offer conversation are tools for that decision — not substitutes for reading the primary packet yourself.

Buyers should put utility, zoning, and transportation contingencies in writing when a live file sits next door. Sellers should disclose what is known, attach the agenda link, and avoid predicting a vote that has not been recorded. That discipline keeps East Tennessee closings on schedule when Council or Board calendars slip a week.

When a packet lists a recommendation rather than a final ordinance, keep your MLS remarks factual: cite the case number, the meeting date, and what staff actually wrote. Do not promise a buyer a completion date that depends on a board that has not yet voted. If your next purchase cannot wait, ask about a cash offer or start with a free home valuation so pricing reflects calendar risk instead of wishful timing.
