Commission advances first-reading zoning changes to allow temporary uses including RV/camper occupancy

Nov 6, 2024

Knox County moved an ordinance (O-22-12-101) on first reading to amend the county zoning code by adding a new section on "temporary uses," which would create standards for temporary habitation (for example recreational vehicles or campers during home construction) and permit a framework for other emergent uses such as music or entertainment venues.
