What these zones are, in the county’s own words
- A — Agricultural Zone
- “This zone provides for a wide range of agricultural and related uses as well as residential uses with low population densities and other compatible uses which generally require large areas or open spaces.” — §5.22.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
- CN — Neighborhood Commercial Zone
- “This commercial zoning district provides the opportunity to locate limited retail and service uses in a manner convenient to and yet not disruptive to established residential neighborhoods. It is intended to provide for the recurring shopping and personal service needs of nearby residential areas.” — §5.38.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
