Staff Recommendation
APPLICATION APPROVED September 6, 2023 pursuant to Article VIII, Section 7 of the Administrative Rules and Procedures of the Tennessee Technology Corridor Development Authority (Staff Review and Approval of Minor Changes to Previously Approved Applications), for a Certificate of Appropriateness subject to the following conditions:
1) Meeting all relevant requirements of the Knoxville Zoning Ordinance, as appropriate.
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE VIII, SECTION 7 OF THE TTCDA ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND PROCEDURES, THE TTCDA STAFF MAY REVIEW AND APPROVE MINOR CHANGES TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICATIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR BUILDING, GRADING, AND SIGNS PERMITS, CONSISTENT WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:
A. THE PROPOSED CHANGE COMPLIES WITH ALL RELEVANT REQUIREMENTS OF THE DESIGN GUIDELINES, KNOXVILLE ZONING ORDINANCE, AND KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE, AS APPROPRIATE. AS SUCH, WAIVERS TO THE DESIGN GUIDELINES AND ZONING VARIANCES WOULD NOT BE NEEDED.
1) The applicant is requesting approval of minor revisions to the previously approved site plans. This is for an auto collision repair shop that was approved by the TTCDA at the May 9, 2022 meeting (Case 5-C-22-TOB).
2) No changes were proposed to the building footprint, the ground area coverage (GAC) and floor area ratio (FAR).
3) Proposed modifications included:
a. Relocating interior vegetation to the exterior of the fence to provide increased screening.
b. Minor changes to the exterior of the building including adding additional man doors, roll-up doors, and exhaust/louver vents.
4) All plans remain in accordance with the TTCDA Design Guidelines.
B. THE PROPOSED CHANGE DOES NOT RESULT IN AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN 5% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, AND ANY OTHER CHANGES RESULTING FROM SUCH AN INCREASE WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS.
1) The building square footage did not change.
C. THE PROPOSED CHANGE COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE FOR APPROVAL OF MINOR CHANGES IN THE TO ZONE. ARTICLE 5.90.11 OF THE KNOX COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE STATES THAT MINOR REVISIONS TO DEVELOPMENT PLANS MAY BE APPROVED BY THE TTCDA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, OR DESIGNEE, PROVIDED SUCH CHANGES:
A) DO NOT ALTER THE BASIC RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO ADJACENT PROPERTY OR STREETS AND ROADS;
B) DO NOT ALTER THE USES PERMITTED;
C) DO NOT INCREASE THE AREA OF DEVELOPMENT BY MORE THAN 5% OF THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SQUARE FOOTAGE; AND DO NOT REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF A WAIVER TO THE TENNESSEE TECHNOLOGY CORRIDOR DESIGN GUIDELINES, OR A VARIANCE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR KNOX COUNTY.
1) The proposed revision does not alter any of the above standards, does not require a waiver from the TTCDA or a variance from the Knox County Zoning Ordinance, and is therefore in compliance with the TO zone requirements for minor changes to previously approved plans.
