APPROVE the proposed amendments to the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance as originally recommended October 2007.APPROVE the proposed amendments to the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance as originally recommended October 2007. Though the new proposed amendments have merit, the proposed maximum size of accessory buildings, while having some rationale because they are related to lot area, are still arbitrary in nature. It is staff?s position that the October recommendation is true to the definition of accessory buildings and structures contained in the code; and the maximum lot coverage, maximum height, and use-on-review process proposed for buildings or structures larger than the 750 square foot threshold provides adequate safeguards to protect the interests of neighboring property owners.
