The metropolitan board of zoning appeals shall hear and decide requests for special
exceptions in accordance with the provisions of this Zoning Code. Special exceptions
shall be regulated in a manner consistent with Section 13-7-206, Tennessee Code Annotated.
The specific location of an asphalt plant, waste transfer facility, airport runway,
hazardous operation and wastewater treatment facility shall first be approved by a

the specific location, upon finding that the proposed use is consistent or not consistent
with the conditions specified in Chapter 17.16, Article III, within sixty days of the date of notification by the zoning administrator
to the council and the district councilmember that such an application has been filed,
council approval shall be waived and the board of zoning appeals may proceed to consider
the application.
