      C-R-2 (Regional Commercial); pending C-G-3 (General Commercial) / Previously approved planned district designation (C) that is requested to be removed.

      The C-R Regional Commercial Zoning District is intended to accommodate medium- to large-scale commercial development within the City of Knoxville that serves both local and regional markets. Such development may generate a considerable amount of traffic, and typically requires significant area for off- street parking. High-density residential uses are also permitted within the C-R District, to facilitate mixed-use development where appropriate. The C-R District is divided into two
      levels of intensity related to the overall form and design of the
      development; however, uses are the same across all levels.
