The City of Knoxville has concluded the process of updating city codes.

This is something that the city has worked on for two years and at Monday night’s Knoxville City Council meeting the council approved the amending of the five final codes in this process. City Economic Development Director Glenn Lyons stated at the meeting that some of these codes have not been updated since the 50’s and the city is wanting to get more modernized. Knoxville Mayor Brian Hatch says he wants the city to be more flexible for those wanting to improve Knoxville.

“Whether it’s parking, parking requirements, old homes, whatever the case may be it’s just taking a look at all those residential areas in ways that we can be more flexible for people wanting to improve the community which I think is a great thing.”
