In the Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, Section M: Auxiliary or Outbuildings states the various requirements for sheds (and other outbuildings such as garages). The proposed shed is relatively small which makes some of the recommended design elements difficult to incorporate fully (e.g. 12/12 roof pitch, exposed rafters)
