What these zones are, in the county’s own words
- I — Industrial Zone
- “This zone provides areas in which the principal use of land is for manufacturing, assembling, fabrication and for warehousing and other uses which have heavy impacts and adverse effects on surrounding property.” — §5.61.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
- RA — Low Density Residential Zone
- “This residential zone provides for residential areas with low population densities. These areas are intended to be defined and protected from encroachment of uses not performing a function necessary to the residential environment.” — §5.11.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
