What these zones are, in the county’s own words
- OB — Office, Medical, and Related Services Zone
- “This zone is intended to provide areas for professional and business offices and related activities that require separate buildings and building groups surrounded by landscaped yards and open areas. The intent herein is to provide centralized, compact locations for business offices, clinics, medical, and dental offices near residential neighborhoods.” — §5.41.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
- PC — Planned Commercial Zone
- “The PC, Planned Commercial Zone, is intended for a unified grouping of commercial buildings which do not require or desire a central business district location. It is the objective of this zone to achieve the highest quality site design, building arrangement, landscaping and traffic circulation patterns possible.” — §5.33.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
