City of Knoxville
Office Park (OP)
To facilitate development that reinforces and enhances the existing varied character areas of downtown Knoxville, the DK District is divided into five sub-districts that include tailored dimensional and design standards: DK-B Downtown Knoxville Boulevards Subdistrict, intended to accommodate those areas of Downtown characterized by wide, planted boulevards, and a green, open landscape. DK-G Downtown Knoxville Grid Subdistrict, intended to accommodate those areas of Downtown predominantly characterized by the traditional 300 foot by 300 foot grid pattern established in the Plan of the City. DK-H Downtown Knoxville Historic Core Subdistrict, intended for areas with a preponderance of historic and cultural resources. DK-W Downtown Knoxville Warehouse Subdistrict, for the area located primarily along Jackson Avenue and the rail yard on the north end of Downtown. DK-E Downtown Edge Subdistrict, intended to address areas of transition between the higher intensity of Downtown and adjacent smaller-scale mixed-use areas

Business Park Type 1
BP-1
- Relatively flat sites (predominant slopes less than 6 percent) out of floodplains
- Relatively large sites (generally over 100 acres)
- Away from low and medium density areas or where truck traffic would have to go through such areas
- Areas with freeway and arterial highway access (generally within two miles of an interchange)
- Rail access is a consideration
- Can be served with sewer, water and natural gas

Business Park Type 2
BP-2
- Relatively flat sites (predominant slopes less than 6 percent) out of floodplains
- Relatively large sites (generally over 100 acres)
- Away from low and medium density areas or where truck traffic would have to go through such areas
- Freeway and arterial highway access (generally within two miles of an interchange)
- Rail access is a consideration
- Can be served with sewer, water and natural gas

General Commercial
GC
traffic-carrying capacity, safety and environmental impacts. Redevelopment of commercial corridors, including mixed use development, should be accommodated under planned or design-oriented zones.
- Existing commercial areas

Mixed Use Regional Center
MU-RC
Downtown Knoxville?s Central Business District is a regional mixed use center.
- Flat site (generally less than 10 percent slopes)
- Currently served by or planned to be served by sidewalks
- The location does not include auto and truck- oriented uses such as industrial, strip commercial and warehouse/distribution uses unless the proposal calls for a redevelopment of such areas
- On a major arterial, adjacent to an interstate highway or adjacent to downtown

Office
O
- Low intensity business andprofessional offices (less than three stories) may be transitional uses from commercial or industrial uses to neighborhoods
- Generally level sites (slopes less than 15 percent)
- Access to major collector or arterial streets, particularly within one-quarter mile of such thoroughfares
- Highest intensity office uses (development that is four or more stories), should be located in close proximity to arterial/ freeway interchanges or be served by transit

Regional Commercial
RS
Development typically exceeds 400,000 square feet; malls have been a typical form and ?life- style centers? (e.g. Turkey Creek) are examples of regional-oriented commercial uses. Regional commercial uses may also be considered in Regional Centers (see Mixed Use and Special Districts).
- Flat sites (under 10 percent slope)
- Locate near interstate interchanges with major arterial highway access
- Water, sewer, natural gas utilities and stormwater systems should be capable of handling the development
- Vehicular and pedestrian connections should be accommodated between components of the development

Technology Park
TP
target area for such development has been the Pellissippi Technology Corridor. Additional districts could be created in other areas of the city or county. The development standards that are adopted by the Tennessee Technology Corridor Development Authority should be used for such districts.
- Within the Technology Corridor or subsequent areas designated for Technology Park development
- Sites near freeway interchanges or along major arterials
- Water, sewer and natural gas utilities available
