ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Defer until November
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending deferral of the Highland Park Zoning Study and the Tennessee Temple PUD revisions until November.
The zoning study, as requested by City Council, is reviewing properties being removed from the Institutional Planned Unit Development (IPUD) and properties that arent part of the IPUD. Staff has drafted the recommendations, but due to the complexity of the zoning study recommendations, additional time is needed to ensure stakeholders (including members of the Highland Park Neighborhood Association) have the opportunity to review and comment on the proposal.
Additionally, as the study is recommending potential zoning changes, RPA needs adequate time to inform property owners of the study recommendations and advise them of the Planning Commission and City Council process.

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: Partially
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Defer until November for the Urban Residential Zone that is being developed by staff.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
This would need a variance for the 40 setback that is required in RT-1.

APPLICATION NO: 2008-165 JURISDICTION: Chattanooga Dist. #2
Hamilton County Dist. #3
APPLICANT: Danny Pack
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: October 13, 2008
LOCATION: 1300 Ely Road
PRESENT ZONING: R-3 Residential Zone
REQUEST FOR: C-2 Convenience Commercial Zone
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Mini-Warehouses
SIZE OF TRACT: 2.985 Acres
ACCESS TO TRACT: Good
SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Single-Family Dwelling & Automobile Garage
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Day Care, Single-Family & Multi-Family Dwellings
EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: Yes
NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Hixson-North River Community Plan
CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: N/A
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Hixson-North River Community Plan recommends Medium Density Residential. Medium density residential classification includes single-family residential, townhouses, patio homes, two, three, and four family dwellings if density is compatible.
The rezoning request for C-2 and/or non-residential development would not be in keeping with the goals and recommendations of the Hixson-North River Community Plan.
The approval of the C-2 Zone and/or the proposed non-residential use could negatively impact adjacent residential uses. Approving the C-2 zone would be introducing a non-residential use and/or non-residential zone into a predominately residential area.
The existing C-2 zone located across Ely Road along Delashmitt Road was conditionally rezoned in 1991 prior to the adoption of the Hixson-North River Community Plan; however, by approving the requested non-residential zoning along Ely Road would be setting the precedent for the future expansion of non-residential zoning or non-residential development along Ely Road.
It appears that the existing use on the property, an automobile garage, could be either a grandfathered use, or is a land use that is not permitted within the current R-3 zoning designation for the property.
It appears that the site plan indicates a proposed 6 landscape area along the side property lines. The requirements of Article V, Section 1024 (7) (A) a greenbelt planting strip, not less than fifteen (15) feet in width.
APPLICATION NO: 2008-166 JURISDICTION: Chattanooga Dist. #7

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Wolftever Creek Land Use Plan
CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Yes

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to:
Use as an animal hospital and accessory uses only;
Use of existing structure(s); and
A perimeter buffer consisting of existing natural vegetation along the adjacent R-1 zoned properties shall be retained in an undisturbed state.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Although the zoning change will create an isolated incidence of R-4 zoning, the site is surrounded by Ooltewah High School, which is a high intensity residential use.
The Wolftever Creek Area Plan supports higher intensity institutional uses on the southern side of Amos Road.

APPLICATION NO: 2008-170 JURISDICTION: Hamilton County Dist. #5
APPLICANT: Ki Kim & Yun Gravitt
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: October 13, 2008
LOCATION: 4705, 4706 & 4734 Achata Way
PRESENT ZONING: R-5 Single Lot Mobile Home District &
A-1 Agricultural District
REQUEST FOR: R-3 Apartment-Townhouse District
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Multi-Family Housing
SIZE OF TRACT: 4.06 Acres
ACCESS TO TRACT: Good
SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Residential
SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Residential & Warehousing
EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: No
NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No plan available for this area
CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: N/A
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: No
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The requirements of the R-3 Apartment-Townhouse zone state the following requirement for location:
A. Location
The main vehicle entrance to the apartments shall be on an existing collector street, or on or within 500 feet (measured along the street) of an existing major street (as designated on the General Regional Plan most recently adopted by the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission).
According to the Functional Classification of Streets, Sue Drive and Green Shanty Road are both Local Streets. This means that neither are major streets in that they are not Collectors, Minor Arterials, or Principal Arterials.
The nearest non-Local street is Old Lee Highway which is over 500 from this location (approximately 3,000 from this location). Examples of non-Local streets include Shallowford Road, Gunbarrel Road, Hickory Valley Road, Standifer Gap Road, and Ooltewah-Ringgold Road.
A portion of the requested site abuts property zoned as M-2 that appears to be used in part for a trucking company. Although this zone and use are present, staff does not recommend expanding higher-density and higher-intensity uses at this location. A rezoning for apartments introduces a more dense residential development form into this area than currently found. A moderate-density development such as the one requested would set the precedent for greater density development in this area. The countywide Comprehensive Plan recommends that moderate-density development be located adjacent to developed activity centers.
Due to this requirement of proximity to major roads, and the fact that the R-3 zone will introduce a much higher-density into the area than exists presently, staff recommends denial.

Hamilton County Dist. #5
APPLICANT: DHW Architects Memorial Hospital
DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: October 13, 2008
LOCATION: 2600 Block of Robbins Street and a portion of the 900 Block of Kilmer Street
REQUEST FOR: Abandonment
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to:
A construction schedule agreeable to the City Traffic Engineer;
A suitable location being found for replace-ment connector route; and
Approval of the City Engineer and all public utilities.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Memorial Hospitals expansion plans require the abandonment and subsequent use of the rights-of-way for Kilmer and Robbins Streets. While this is potentially an acceptable use, the abandonment and closure of these open and heavily used streets should not take place until actual use of the land is needed.

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: Yes
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to:
1. Provide a 25-foot deep landscape buffer (as measured towards the interior of the property) landscape yard along shared property lines planted with:
(a) Evergreen trees spaced a maximum of eight feet on-center or two staggered rows (spaced a maximum of six feet apart) of shrubs spaced a maximum of six feet on-center, and one row of shade trees spaced a maximum of thirty feet on-center.
(b) All plantings shall meet the installation and planting size requirements specified in the Plant Installation Specifications section of the City of Chattanooga Landscape Ordinance.
2. A fence with a minimum height of six feet and of construction other than chain-link shall be installed and maintained around the perimeter of the site.
3. Subject to the relocation of the cooling towers to a location within the southeastern quadrant of the site.
4. Subject to the site plan submitted to the RPA prior to the first Planning Commission hearing depicting all site elements as described above.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Institutional uses have a history in the neighborhood sating back to the Tuberculosis Hospital in the 1940s. Institutional uses such as Memorial Hospital continue to serve a vital role in the by providing health care services and employment opportunities within the local community. Since the hospital is located in a residential area, expansion opportunities are difficult, but possible if implemented with the welfare of the community in mind. The Glenwood, Churchville, Orchard Knob Neighborhood Plan discourages an expansion of institutional uses into the core of the residential area. Although this site lies within the Avondale Neighborhood, encroachment west of North Chamberlain Avenue should be limited to uses of lesser intensity such as the utility plant provided that care is taken to integrate the facility into the neighborhood through buffering and careful, conscientious site design.

Institutional uses such as Memorial Hospital continue to serve a vital role in the by providing health care services and employment opportunities within the local community. Since the hospital is located in a residential area, expansion opportunities are difficult, but possible if implemented with the welfare of the community in mind. The Glenwood, Churchville, Orchard Knob Neighborhood Plan discourages an expansion of institutional uses into the core of the residential area. The Glenville, Churchville, Orchard Knob Neighborhood Plan supports institutional uses east of North Chamberlain Avenue. Although the neighborhood plan recommends that this portion remain residential, the actual use is already substantially devoted to institutional purposes.

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Hixson-North River Community Plan
CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Yes
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: Yes
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Assisted Living Facility is not a permitted use within either the C-2 or M-3 zoning designations. Assisted Living Facilities is a permitted use within the R-4 Zone by the issuance of a Special Exception Permit from the Chattanooga Board of Appeals.
The request appears to be appropriate for this location. The proposed R-4 zone and/or the proposed use would not negatively impact adjacent uses, which are non-residential developments.
The proposed extension of the existing North Point Boulevard and the location along the commercial corridor of Hixson Pike the proposed use appears to be a more appropriate use at than the permitted uses within the current M-3 Zone.
The Hixson-North River Community Plan recommends Medium Business Mix, which includes convenience and neighborhood commercial, office, residential, or other similar uses.
The approval of the rezoning request would be in keeping with the goals and recommendations of the Hixson-North River Community Plan.
One of the goals of the Hixson-North River Community Plan is the creation of younger home ownership and senior housing opportunities within the Hixson Community.
Proposed density of the development is 21.4 units per acre, or 155 total dwelling units. Based on size of the lot (7.25 acres) and lot size requirements within the R-4 zone the proposed number of total dwellings is in compliance with the requirements.
The proposed number of parking spaces appears to be in compliance with the parking requirements of the zoning ordinance. A total of 99 spaces are being provided: 21 employee parking spaces and 78 dwelling unit parking spaces.

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Shallowford Road-Lee Highway Area Plan
CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: See discussion.
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030:
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: No
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny M-3, Approve C-2, subject to:
1) Self-service, mini-warehouses or office use only;
2) No access to Sonia Lane;
3) Type A landscaping along the 220 frontage shown on the site plan that is along Tyner Road;
3) Maintain 30 of existing vegetation along Sonia Lane (both the 540 and 200 portion shown on the site plan); and
4) Attend a City of Chattanooga Presubmittal Meeting.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The adopted plan for this area specifically mentions Walker Road: The existing single-unit residential, particularly near Sonia Lane and Walker Road, should not be developed piecemeal. Any rezoning requests in this area should seek to preserve the integrity of the existing residential and be considered for higher intensity zoning only if properties are compiled.
The requested site is the largest parcel in the area, over four acres, and has frontage on I-75 right-of-way, Walker Road, and Sonia Avenue. The site is adjacent to, but does not abut, residential property. The size of the property and its location would allow for a well-developed site plan to preserve the integrity of existing residential while allowing for the requested higher-intensity zoning.
Although this area may be appropriate for other uses allowed in the M-3 Warehouse and Wholesale Zone, due to the proximity of the R-1 Residential zoning and single-family residential development, this rezoning should be subject to self-service mini-warehouses only. This restriction will help protect the existing residents from the truck traffic, noise, and potentially 24-hour uses allowed under the M-3 zoning.
Again due to the proximity of nearby residences, particular detail needs to be given to the site plan. Staff is recommending that more extensive landscaping than the required street yard be provided. In order to accommodate this landscaping and to adequately address the other provisions of the ordinance, staff is recommending the applicant attend a City of Chattanooga Presubmittal meeting.
NOTE: The billboard, as shown on site plan, will not be allowed because it is in the Scenic Corridor (Chapter 3 City Code).

Minimum building setback for multi-family residential structures from Panorama Drive shall be 110 feet. Minimum building setback for accessory structures such as parking garages and the club house shall be 50 feet;
Construct an eight foot high landscape berm along Panorama Drive, height as measured along the right-of-way of Panorama Drive. Maximum slope of the portion of the earthen berm facing Panorama Drive to be 3 foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical. One row of 2 evergreen caliper (6 high) trees planted at 15 feet on center along the top of berm and one row of holly bushes (or evergreen equivalent) planted along the right-of-way of Panorama Drive. Total width of vegetative buffer along Panorama Drive shall not be less than 50 feet;
There shall be two entrances into the development to be located off Panorama Drive. One entrance shall be located at the intersection of Panorama Drive and King Arthur Road;
Retention ponds shall have active fountains. This condition does not apply to detention ponds that do not hold water for extended periods;
Minimum building setback from southern property boundary shall be 25-50 for one-story multi-family structures, 50 for two-story multi-family structures, and a minimum building setback from the southern property boundary shall be 100 feet for three-story multi-family structures;
There shall be a 40 building setback from East Brainerd Road. If retaining walls are constructed in this setback, no individual wall shall be higher than 8 and there shall be a minimum of 8 separation between walls. The intent of this condition is to have any retaining walls step back from the right of way instead of providing a high blank front along the right of way; and
Construct a 10 high landscape berm with the toe of slope, to be located no closer than 10 to the common property line except along that portion of the site shown to be undisturbed and left wooded along the eastern and southern property lines. Height of the earthen berm to be measured based upon existing grade at the toe of slope. Maximum slope of earthen berm to be 3 foot horizontal to 1 foot vertical with two staggered rows of 2 caliper evergreen (6 high) trees planted at 20 feet on center.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the R-3 zone with conditions and the site plan as shown allows a clustering of residential units with adequate screening and preservation of a portion of the site as open space. The extensive list of conditions was developed in conjunction with the community during a previous zoning case at this site, and staff recommends maintaining many of the conditions agreed upon at that time. These conditions help mitigate the impact of the development and help this site integrate better into the existing neighborhood.

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No
CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: No
ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: No
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The adopted plan for the area recommends an Office/Residential use at this location.
The existing R-4 Special zone supports the plan recommendation and provides an important transitional stepping down in intensity from the convenience commercial uses allowed in the C-2 zone fronting on Lee Highway to the low-density residential nature of Hickory Valley Road.
This portion of Hickory Valley Road is a stable, residential street and many of the uses allowed in the C-2 Zone are not appropriate at this location as they have the potential to negatively impact the neighboring residents.
Staff is also recommending denial because no site plan and specific use were presented. Site plans provide staff and appointed and elected officials the option of exploring ways to mitigate the impacts of development. However, as no plan was presented along with any specifics on use, a rezoning to C-2 so close to the nearby neighborhoods is not appropriate.
