RN-1
Single-Family Residential Neighborhood Zoning District
The RN-1 Single-Family Residential Neighborhood Zoning District is intended to accommodate traditional low density residential neighborhoods in the City of Knoxville, exhibiting a predominant development pattern of single-family homes on relatively large lots and with generous setbacks. Two-family dwellings may also be allowed by special use approval. Limited nonresidential uses that are compatible with the character of the district may also be permitted.
Directions: From I40 in Knoxville take exit 392 to US-11W N/Rutledge Pike. In .5 miles, turn left onto Spring Hill Rd and right onto McIntyre Rd. Turn left at the 1st cross street onto Leconte Rd and take a right onto OBarr Rd. The property will be on your right.
