There are plans 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.

The Sevierville Planning Commission agreed to hear out D.R. Horton, a national developer who hopes to bring the project to the area at a recent meeting where they could possibly rezone 444 acres to make way for the project.

The proposal would bring around 1,200 single-family homes and duplexes to Sevierville, along with three parks and a dedicated commercial space.

There aren’t many details about what the commercial space would bring, but D.R. Horton’s proposal described it as “a vibrant hub with retail, cafés, and offices, designed for walkability and community connection.”
