The city, Hamilton County, the Regional Planning Agency and a third-party consulting firm out of Austin, Texas are working together to overhaul building zoning codes for essentially all of downtown Chattanooga. Existing zoning codes are based on property use. The city is moving toward form-based coding, which focuses instead on aesthetics, and aims to create more predictable and organized streetscapes, very similar to what the Brainerd Overlay Project seeks to achieve. The new zoning will have a monumental impact on the way Chattanooga looks going forward and create all-new regulations for builders and developers doing new construction and repurposing in the city.
