Pilot Corp. is suing the city of Loudon for the right to build a travel center at the intersection of state Highway 72 and Interstate 75.
The suit filed in Loudon County Chancery Court seeks to overturn the Loudon Board of Zoning Appeals denial of Knoxville-based Pilot’s request for exception to a 2005 ordinance prohibiting the building of truck stops within city limits.
The suit also asks the court to declare the current zoning ordinance vague, to approve use of the land as a travel center and to award Pilot its costs including attorney’s fees.
“Pilot expended significant resources and monies in acquiring rights to the real property based on the plain language of the City of Loudon zoning ordinance” and “representation of its agents” the suit claims.

A city doesn’t have civil liberties or rights. It’s citizens might, but not the city itself. On the other hand, Pilot, by virtue of being a corporation, has similar rights as an individual.
