Board approves 100-foot commercial-zone extension for Thorn Grove Pike auto-repair business
Summary
Knox County zoning board approved a 100-foot expansion of the commercial (CA) zone at 5903 Thorn Grove Pike to create additional parking for an auto repair shop; staff clarified the board's 100-foot maximum after a drawing showed 150.79 feet.
The Knox County zoning board voted to extend the Commercial (CA) zone boundary by 100 feet at 5903 Thorn Grove Pike to give an auto-repair business room for additional parking and safer vehicle maneuvering.
Applicant Jared Pearson, who gave his home address as 6715 Park Lake Drive and said 5903 Thorn Grove Pike is the body shop location, told the board the business needs more parking because vehicles are in various stages of repair and flatbeds must access the site. A drawing in the hearing materials showed a marked distance of 150.79 feet, and board members clarified the zoning body can grant a 100-foot extension — which the applicant confirmed would meet his needs.
No opposition or codes objections were recorded in the transcript. A motion to approve the waiver for a 100-foot extension was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote; the transcript records an “aye” but does not include a roll-call tally.
The board did not record additional conditions or a timeline for implementation during the portion of the hearing in the transcript.
