Staff Recommendation
Approve the request for a drive-through facility in the C-G-1 zoning district, subject to 6 conditions.
1. Meeting the requirements of principal use standards for drive-through facilities (Article 9.3.F) of the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance.
2. Meeting the requirements of Article 13 (Signs) of the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance.
3. Installation of landscaping per the requirements of Article 12 (Landscaping) of the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance, including the Class B buffer yard required by the principal use standards for drive-through facilities (Article 9.3.F.5). The proposed landscape plan requires Alternative Landscape Design (ALD) approval because the required 20 ft width is not provided in all locations were it is required. If the ALD is not approved, the site design must be modified to accommodate the required buffer width and may require a new Special Use approval if the site design changes significantly.
4. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knoxville Department of Engineering.
5. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
6. Meeting all other applicable requirements of the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance.

With the conditions noted above, this request meets the requirements of C-G-1 zoning, the principal use standards for drive-through facilities, and the criteria for approval of a special use.
Disposition Summary
Approve the request for a drive-through facility in the C-G-1 zoning district, subject to 6 conditions.
