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)
- 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)
