Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the development plan for the conversion of the existing horse stables/barn into an event facility in the T (Transition) zoning district, subject to 9 conditions:
1. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Health Department.
2. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance.
3. Access to this facility is restricted to the access drive off of Hunter Valley Lane that was approved by the Planning Commission on September 8, 2011 as the entrance/exit for the Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm event facility.
4. All required parking for the event facility shall be paved in compliance with Section 3.51.06 of the Knox County Zoning Ordinance unless a variance is granted by the Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) to allow the use of compacted gravel for the parking areas for 36 spaces (27 space and 9 space areas separated by the paved fire lane) as designated on the development plan. If a variance is granted for use of the compacted gravel for parking, the parking spaces in that area shall be delineated by the use of wheel stops.
5. Obtaining a variance from the BZA to allow the reduction in the area for a parking space from 200 square feet to 162 square feet (9' X 18').
6. The fire lanes delineated on the development plan shall be paved to at least a minimum width of 20 feet with a minimum overhead clearance of 13 feet 6 inches. The outside paving radius for the fire lane at the north end of the proposed event facility (Banquet Barn) needs to be increased to improve the transition around the proposed 13 paved parking spaces. This will involve moving the fire lane closer to the entrance to the building and reducing the landscaping in that area. All fire lane improvements are subject to approval by the Knox County Fire Marshal.
7. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Fire Marshal's Office.
8. Obtaining all applicable building permits from Knox County.
9. Meeting all applicable requirements of the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.
With the conditions noted above, this request meets all requirements of the T (Transition) zoning district, as well as other criteria for approval of a use on review.
