What these zones are, in the county’s own words
- 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)
- PR — Planned Residential Zone
- “The regulations established in this zone are intended to provide optional methods of land development which encourage more imaginative solutions to environmental design problems. Residential areas thus established would be characterized by a unified building and site development program, open space for recreation and provision for commercial, religious, educational, and cultural facilities which are integrated with the total project by unified architectural and open space treatment.” — §5.13.01, The Zoning Ordinance of Knox County, Tennessee (as amended through 2023-08-28)
Quoted verbatim from the ordinance’s “general description” of each zone — what a zone permits in full is defined by the complete ordinance text at the link.
