RN-4
RN-4 (General Residential Neighborhood)The RN-4 General Residential Neighborhood Zoning District is intended to accommodate mixed medium density residential development within the City of Knoxville. Single-family,
two-family, and townhouse dwellings are permitted with low-rise multi-family dwellings and new development forms
such as pocket neighborhoods allowed by review and in some cases with special use approval. The RN-4 District is intended to be applied to neighborhoods that are characterized by such mixed residential development, or that have been identified
as areas where such development would be suitable in the future. Limited nonresidential uses that are compatible with the character of the district may also be permitted.
RequestedI-MU
I-MU (Industrial Mixed-Use)The I-MU Industrial Mixed-Use Zoning District is intended to provide for a mix of light industrial uses and a variety of compatible commercial uses such as entertainment, amusement and retail establishments. This mix is designed to promote the reuse of older, character giving structures that may no longer be suitable for their original industrial purposes, but that can accommodate a variety of alternative types of uses. Residential uses are also permitted in the I-MU District, both above the ground floor in mixed-use development, and in multi-family dwellings.
