LOCATION: 1063 Shallowford Road

PRESENT ZONING: R-1 Residential Zone

REQUEST FOR: C-2 Convenience Commercial Zone

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Commercial Development & Office

SIZE OF TRACT: 9.1 Acres +

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Vacant Lot

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Single-Family Dwellings

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: No

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Eastdale Land Use Plan

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: No

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: No

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This area along Shallowford Road is primarily a single-family residential area. The commercial zoning would have a negative impact on adjacent uses, as well as, the existing street network.

The Eastdale Land Use Plan recommends single-family residential and open space for this general area located along Shallowford Road.

The Eastdale Land Use Plan also recommends that commercial zoning be concentrated and limited to major intersections, such as the intersection of Shallowford Road and Tunnel Boulevard and Shallowford Road and Wilcox Boulevard.

The approval of this commercial rezoning request would extend too far from the major intersections and would encroach into the primarily single-family residential neigh-borhood found along this section of Shallowford Road.

The approval of this rezoning would also set the precedent for future commercial rezoning requests along this residential corridor.

This rezoning request could be considered a spot zone.

The site plan as submitted for this case is not adequate. A revised or adequate site plan for this rezoning case should be submitted.

August 10, 2009 (Action Taken)

LOCATION: 8012 Shallowford Road

PRESENT ZONING: R-1 Residential Zone

REQUEST FOR: Special Exceptions Permit - Preliminary

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Pinnacle Point PUD

SIZE OF TRACT: 13.37 Acres

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Vacant & Residential

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Single-Family Residential & Vacant

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: N/A

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: East Brainerd Corridor Community Plan (2003)

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Yes

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: Yes

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to the attached PUD review.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This development has a density of 1.35 dwelling units an acre. This is relatively low as a density of 5 dwelling units an acre is allowed under PUD requirements.

This property abuts property to the east that is zoned R-T/Z which has a maximum density of 8 dwelling units per acre.

The East Brainerd Corridor Community Plan recommends a low-density residential land use at this location with the objective of preserving single-family residential character. The intent of this designation is to allow for a density of one to five dwelling units per acre. The plan further details the types of uses that are appropriate in this area by stating that townhomes or duplexes may be considered if the development meets the appropriate density.

This development is structured as an open space development with preservation of substantial open space with a clustering of the residential structures to the interior of the site. RPA staff and the Comprehensive Plan encourage attached housing in PUDs to be located to the interior of the site. The greatest intensity of development on this site is along the eastern property line that abuts the property zoned R-T/Z and meets the intent of the plan.

LOCATION: 3467 Wilcox Boulevard

PRESENT ZONING: C-5 Neighborhood Commercial Zone

REQUEST FOR: C-2 Convenience Commercial Zone

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Convenience Store

SIZE OF TRACT: .213 Acres

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Building under construction

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Vacant, Single-Family, Convenience Store & Funeral Home

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: Yes

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Eastdale Land Use 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:

This area was zoned C-2 but was rezoned through the Tunnel Boulevard Zoning Study in 1991. The result was that this requested site and surrounding properties were rezoned to C-5.

The purpose of the zoning study was to make the commercial zoning in the area more compatible with the neighborhood. Concerns regarding the C-2 zone at that time centered on the amount of traffic generated on the two-lane roads (Tunnel and Wilcox) and that adult-oriented establishments/clubs were allowed in the C-2 zone.

C-5 as a neighborhood commercial district was determined to promote commercial uses that complement the residential neighborhood.

The Eastdale Plan (1998) does designate this area as appropriate for commercial development. The Plan provides little information about what type of commercial uses would be appropriate.

The C-2 zone permits other uses that are not appropriate or neighborhood friendly. The intent of the 1991 zoning study was to ensure more neighborhood friendly uses.

Convenience stores are permitted within the C-5 zone, provided that no gasoline pumps or car washes are permitted. The sale or consumption of beer, wine or other similar alcoholic beverages are prohibited, as well as liquor stores.

Approving the C-2 would set the precedent for future C-2 request along Tunnel Boulevard, which could negatively impact the adjacent residential uses.

The existing C-5 zone would serve as a buffer/transitional area between the adjacent C-2 zone and the adjacent residential (R-1) areas.

APPLICATION NO: 2009-106 JURISDICTION: Hamilton County Dist. #9

APPLICANT: James E. Malone

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: 7504 Wolftever Trail

PRESENT ZONING: A-1 Agricultural District

REQUEST FOR: Special Permit

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Short-Term Vacation Rental

SIZE OF TRACT: .56 Acres

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Residential

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Residential

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: N/A

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Wolftever Creek Area Plan

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: N/A

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: N/A

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This is a quiet single-family residential street with owner-occupied houses in close proximity to each other and the property requesting the Special Permit for a short-term vacation rental use. If the homes on Wolftever Trail were on large tracts of land that provided more privacy and distance between them, it might make a difference. A daily or weekly turnover of transient use at this location may be too great of an impact for this street.

APPLICATION NO: 2009-108 JURISDICTION: Chattanooga Dist. #1

Hamilton County Dist. #2

APPLICANT: James Farris

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: 1408 Palisades Road

PRESENT ZONING: R-1 Residential Zone

REQUEST FOR: R-3 Residential Zone

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Short Term Vacation Rental

SIZE OF TRACT: .63 Acres

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Single-Family Residences

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Single-Family Residences

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: No

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: None 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 R-3; Approve Short Term Vacation Rental Special Exceptions Permit.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The City Zoning Official has consistently determined that Short-Term Vacation Rentals are not an allowed use in an R-1. After Tennessee’s Court of Appeals determined that Hamilton County’s zoning regulations were unconstitutionally vague regarding Short-Term Vacation Rentals, RPA recommended amendments to both Chattanooga’s and Hamilton County’s zoning regulations to identify where these uses are appropriate. Now, Short Term Vacation Rental is a very specific use as defined in Chattanooga’s zoning regulations and identified below.

Planning staff is not comfortable with a potential spot zoning in this location. However, due to this site’s proximity to Signal Mountain Road and to the edge of the neighborhood of Palisades Road, and because it is not abutting another residence, this use can be compatible to this area. However, it must meet and maintain the requirements of the definition of a short-term vacation rental. This use is most compatible when permitted through the Special Exceptions Permit process at this time proposed for the R-1 Residential zone.

The definition of Short-Term Vacation Rental:

Short-Term Vacation Rental: A single family detached dwelling unit that is rented in part or its entirety on a daily or weekly basis for not more than 30 days for overnight stay where a permanent residence is not established (mailing address, vehicle registration, etc.) and are generally advertised or otherwise held out to the public. Short-Term Vacation Rentals are also sometimes referred to as “tourist homes” or “short-term residential rentals” and advertised as such. Short-Term Vacation Rentals do not include hotels, motels, or bed and breakfast establishments. Short-Term Vacation Rentals are only permitted in zoning districts that specifically list them as a permitted use, provided that:

(1) There shall be no signage.

(2) The residence shall not be rented for events such as weddings, business meetings, or other such group events.

(3) There shall be no more than five (5) sleeping rooms.

The intent is that only the current structure be used for Short Term Vacation Rental. The remainder of this parcel is not to be used to extend the Short Term Vacation Rental use through construction of new structures on a temporary or permanent basis.

Under the requirements for the R-1 Residential zone Special Exceptions Permit, Short-term vacation rentals in the R-1 Residential Zone can house only one Family as defined in the zoning regulations.

APPLICATION NO: 2009-109 JURISDICTION: Chattanooga Dist. #7

Hamilton County Dist. #4

APPLICANT: George L. Byars, Sr.

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: An unopened alley located in the west line of the 3600 Block of Dorris Street

REQUEST FOR: Abandonment

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to approval of City Engineer and all public utilities.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This is a Tier 1, unopened and unused alley that is not needed for other property access needs nor is it a viable part of an interconnected street network.

The applicant should submit a site plan for proposed parking and access and it is recommended that the applicant schedule a pre-submittal meeting to review their project as part of this zoning request.

Hamilton County Dist. #5

APPLICANT: Sean Daniels

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: 3630 Ridgeside Road

PRESENT ZONING: R-1 Residential Zone

REQUEST FOR: C-2 Convenience Commercial Zone

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: Retail Store

SIZE OF TRACT: .173 Acres

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Vacant Structure

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Single-Family Dwellings

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: No

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: No Land Use Plan

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: N/A

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: No

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny C-2; Approve C-5, subject to:

1) The C-5 permitted uses with the exception that restaurants and cleaning and laundry establishments shall not be permitted;

2) Rezone only the first 75’ of the property as measured from the northern property line and/or the southern right-of-way line of Ridgeside Road;

3) Any and all lighting shall be directed away from all residential properties.

4) Dumpster location shall be shown on a revised site plan and shall be serviced from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.;

5) The dumpster shall be located shall away from any adjacent residential property as much as feasible;

6) Hours of operation shall be limited from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and

The applicant is encouraged to schedule a pre-submittal meeting with the Land Development Office to address buffering/screening requirements and parking lot design so that the vehicles are not backing out onto Ridgeside and Gillespie Roads.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This parcel was at one time a neighborhood convenience/grocery store that lost it non-conforming status or grandfather protection.

The rezoning of this site to a commercial zone could be considered a spot-zone. The area is primarily zoned R-1.

The intent of the C-2 zone is to promote where the need exists, the clustering and development of businesses, offices, and service facilities to serve the demand for goods and services generated by both area residents and transients.

A wide-open C-2 commercial zone is not appropriate at this location due it’s proximity along a local street and located within an existing neighborhood and adjacent to primarily single-family residential dwellings.

Permitted uses such as the retail sale of liquor and beer are generally not appropriate when adjacent to primarily single-family residential uses, as well as, a couple of schools that are in close proximity to the site.

Beer sales and liquor stores that are located within close proximity to established neighborhoods or single-family residential dwellings could have a negative impact on adjacent residential uses because they often become nuisance issues for the neighborhood and adjacent residential structures.

The C-5 zone and the uses permitted within the C-5 would be appropriate at this location. This location was once a small scale neighborhood type market. This location is exactly what the C-5 Neighborhood Commercial Zone was written for.

The intent of the C-5 zone is to promote, protect, and sustain the vitality of a neighborhood by permitting those small commercial and service uses that are both compatible with and implement to residential properties and the neighborhood.

Per the submitted site plan, the applicant will need to address this issue back out parking onto a local street, Ridgeside Road. Back out parking lots and spaces onto local street is not permitted.

It also appears on the site plan that a couple of the proposed parking spaces abutting Gillespie Road may be located within the right-of-way.

Per the landscape requirements, a type “B” or 20’ landscape buffer/screening would be required along the property line whereby the proposed commercial zone abuts a residential zone.

The site plan indicates that the approximately distance from the property line of the adjacent R-1 zoned property to the existing structure on site is approximately 5 ½’.

APPLICANT: Chestnut Properties, LLC

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: 900 Block of East 23rd Street, a portion of the unopened 2000 Block of East End Avenue and a portion of an unopened alley located on the west line of the 2000 Block of Central Avenue

REQUEST FOR: Abandonment

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, subject to approval of City Engineer and all public utilities.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The existing right-of-way does not connect anything. It borders I-24 on one side and dead ends into a railroad right-of-way.

A chain link fence and gate currently blocks the alley as this area appears to be used for truck loading.

APPLICANT: Chattanooga Outreach, Inc.

DATE OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING: August 10, 2009

LOCATION: 124 & 126 Signal Hills Drive

PRESENT ZONING: R-5 Residential Zone

REQUEST FOR: R-4 Special Zone

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: “To house residential men’s programs (assisted living).”

SIZE OF TRACT: .538 Acres +

ACCESS TO TRACT: Good

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Single-Family Residence

SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT: Single-Family Residences

EXTENSION OF EXISTING ZONE: No

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: None for this area

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: N/A

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: No

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes, but not adequate information.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

This property and the surrounding area is currently zoned R-5. This zoning designation allows single-family and two-family dwellings along with a variety of other religious and public uses. The Signal Hills area was subdivided in 1920 which accounts for the relatively small lot sizes found in this area.

Currently, the city of Chattanooga’s minimum lot size standard (outside the Urban Overlay Zone) is 7,500 sq. ft. Measuring 300’ feet along the block face from the two structures proposed to be used as residences for Chattanooga Outreach, 13 parcels of the 18 are below 7,500 sq. ft. The two properties proposed to be used for the residential homes have a lot size of 6,007 sq. ft. and 6,800 sq. ft.

Although the request is for an Assisted Living Facility and functions as transitional housing for homeless men, the land use impact is similar to a lodging and boarding house. For example, this use allowed by right in the R-4 zone, requires a minimum of 7,500 square feet for the first two lodgers with an additional 500 square feet of lot area for each additional lodger. The two proposed lots do not meet the 7,500 sq. ft. minimum much less the additional square footage required for additional residents.

The proposal, as relayed to the city zoning official, is for 27 residents to occupy the two structures at 124 and 126 Signal Hills Drive. The number of residents is a concern in this area due to the small lot sizes and the proximity of these residential uses to neighboring residences. An impact from this use will arguably have more of an impact in this predominately single-family neighborhood with this older development pattern (small lots, small building setbacks) than in other areas.

The church on this site is proposed to continue to function as a religious facility. The proposed use in addition to the use of the church facility also seems to be too intense of use for this area.

Unlike an urban area with its mix of single and multi-family residences, retail, and institutional uses, Signal Hills Drive at this location is predominately residential. Introduction of such a dissimilar use with the proposed number of residents is less likely to be well absorbed in terms of impact from car trips, activity, and intensity than in areas immediately adjacent to non-residential areas or in urban areas.

Again, the use proposed for this site is most appropriate for areas adjacent to non-residential areas or in more urban settings with a mix of uses and other services including transit.

NAME OF COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Downtown Plan

CONSISTENT WITH COMMUNITY LAND USE PLAN: Yes

CONSISTENT WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2030: Yes

ADEQUATE SITE PLAN SUBMITTED: Yes

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Deny C-3; Approve UGC

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The property has an existing multi unit apartment building. It may have been an old garage that has been converted into 3 residential units behind the “main house”.

A mix of uses, including live-work units, are consistent with the intent of the UGC zone and the Downtown Plan.

The C-3 Zone is intended for the Central Business District. This property is in a residential area; therefore the UGC Zone is a better fit.

The property is directly across the street from a chicken plant, so it might be difficult to rent standard residential units. Live-work units are a good alternative.

Six parking spaces already exist parallel to 17th Street.
