BoardCity of Knoxville Board of Zoning Appeals Minutes
The Board considered and reviewed several variance petitions related to zoning regulations, including requests for adjustments to setbacks, building and impervious surface coverage, privacy fence heights, and grade requirements. Several variance requests for residential and commercial properties were approved based on specific considerations such as topography, safety, and site layout. One proposal involving industrial mixed-use building setbacks was denied due to a lack of hardship. Furthermore, an appeal regarding a religious exemption request for property density and accessory dwelling unit requirements was denied following an administrative determination review.
