Established Residential Neighborhood (EN)

The EN Established Residential Neighborhood Zoning District is intended to accommodate Knoxville?s older low density neighborhoods, exhibiting a predominant development pattern of large lots with generous yards and complex, intricately designed homes on a highly connected street network. The EN District provides for the stability of these established neighborhoods, while allowing for continued development that is compatible with the existing development pattern. Limited nonresidential uses that are compatible with the character of the district may also be permitted.
