Highland Park Zoning Study
(Case 2008-161)

 

Chattanooga City Council passed a resolution directing the Regional Planning Agency to conduct a zoning study for certain properties in the Highland Park community.

Previously, the Highland Park community underwent a zoning study in 1996 which resulted in much of the area being rezoned to R-1 Residential with some portions of the study area remaining R-2 Residential, R-3 Residential, R-3 Moderate Density Zone, and R-4 Special Zone.

Currently, potential changes to the boundary of Tennessee Temple’s Planned Unit Development could leave those properties removed from the Planned Unit Development with a zoning incompatible with the surrounding residential development.

The zoning study will determine if the current zoning supports and encourages current and future land uses which are consistent with the development character of the neighborhood.

The study area includes those residentially-zoned properties and those properties zoned R-4 within the area of South Willow Street to the east, E. Main Street to the south, South Holtzclaw Avenue to the west, and McCallie Avenue to the north.

As the zoning study progresses, additional properties in this boundary may be reviewed for appropriate zoning.

Representatives from RPA met with the Highland Park Neighborhood Association on July 17th,  August 21st, and October 16th to discuss this project.
