RN-1-7.5
Residential Neighborhood Zone
The RN-1-7.5 Residential Neighborhood Zone is intended to accommodate the special nature of the City's valleys, ridges, creeks and the Tennessee River that may limit the defined area's connectivity to the rest of the City's transportation and/or sewer infrastructure network.
