A (Agricultural)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.
RequestedCR
CR (Rural Commercial)This commercial zoning district provides the opportunity to locate limited retail and service uses in a manner convenient to outlying rural areas. It is intended to provide for the recurring shopping and personal service needs of nearby rural residential areas. This zoning should be placed on properties that are located at or near intersections of arterial and/or collector streets in order to maximize accessibility from surrounding areas. The range of permitted uses is limited to those which are generally patronized on a frequent basis by area residents. Development performance standards are included to maximize compatibility between commercial uses and surrounding rural areas, and to maintain the rural character of these areas.

Case Notes
− +Disposition Summary
RECOMMEND the Knox County Commission APPROVE CR (Rural Commercial) zoning.Staff Recommendation
RECOMMEND that County Commission APPROVE CR (Rural Commercial) zoning.For this site, CR is the most appropriate commercial zone that is permitted within the Rural Area of the Growth Policy Plan. A one acre site to the north is already zoned CA. This site is located at a rural crossroads, the intersection of two arterial or collector streets, making it appropriate for CR zoning. There is already a commercial building on the site, which has been there for many years, so the impact of this zoning change should be minimal.
