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)
- 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)
