1. All outdoor site lighting must be full cutoff luminaire, meaning the luminaire/light fixture shall allow no direct light emissions above a horizontal plane through the luminaire's lowest light-emitting part. Also, lights located under gasoline service station canopies, canopies for bank automatic teller machines, and other such similar canopies shall be recessed into the structure ceiling and shall use light shields so as to prevent glare. No portion of the bulb or the glass/plastic surrounding the bulb shall protrude from the structure ceiling unless it can be shown that a different style would be equivalent to or better than this requirement. The maximum number of footcandles at a property line that is adjacent to non-commercial or non-office zoned land shall be 0.5 footcandles. The maximum number of footcandles at a street right of way or a property line that is adjacent to commercial or office zoned land shall be 3.0 footcandles. Lighting and photometric plans must be submitted with development plans to demonstrate that these conditions will be satisfied.
2. All development shall be subject to a unified architectural plan that meets the intent of the General Plan's village-like appearance, consistent with development policy 9.9 of the Knoxville-Knox County General Plan 2032. All structures must be built using residential materials on the exterior, be compatible with the scale of residential structures in the area. Visible paving should be minimized throughout the development.
3. Any proposed development shall be subject to MPC approval of a development plan as a use on review. For each individual plan submittal, an overall site plan must also be submitted for the site in its totality.

With the above conditions, CN zoning is appropriate at this location to serve residents who live in the vicinity of the site, as well as commuters travelling on either of the two streets at this intersection. CN zoning will allow low impact commercial uses and includes considerable landscaping and other development regulations to minimize the impact on nearby residential areas, as well as improve the aesthetic appeal of the development. The condition limiting the use of the northeast and southeast portions of the site to selected less intense CN uses has been recommended to be eliminated. Staff is of the opinion that the CN zone, and its applicable development regulations, are intended for and appropriate in residential areas, so limitations on uses are not necessary. The other conditions that were placed on the previous rezoning are proposed to be maintained.
