Installation of all landscaping as shown on the development plan within six months of the issuance of an occupancy permit or posting a bond with the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works to guarantee such installation. Modifications to the landscape plan can be reviewed and approved by Planning staff to confirm compliance with the CN (Neighborhood Commercial) landscaping standards.
6. Meeting the lighting standards in the supplemental regulations (Section 4.10.10. - Outdoor lighting) and the CN (Neighborhood Commercial) zone (Section 5.38.14 ? Site lighting). All site lighting shall use full cut-off fixtures. Site lighting includes lights meant to illuminate a large area, such as pole-mounted lights for parking lots and wall-mounted wall pack lights, and does not include accent lighting, such as string lights and wall sconces. A site lighting plan must be reviewed and approved by Planning staff before building permits are issued.
