- CA — General Business Zone
- “This zone is for general retail business and services but not for manufacturing or for processing materials other than farm products, except that portable sawmills are allowed.” — §5.31.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
