The Chattanooga City Council voted tonight to return a proposal for a Stringer’s Ridge condominium and townhouse development to the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.
Councilwoman Linda Bennett said the ridge, which developers want to reduce in height, contains sites of Civil War-related importance. She said there also are concerns about potential traffic and environmental consequences of the proposed 500-unit development.
“We still have some unanswered questions just about the context and what really fits on the ridge,” said Ms. Bennett, who represents the area on the council.
The City Council deferred measures for rezoning and a preliminary permit for a planned unit development on Stringer’s Ridge last month. In January, the Regional Planning Commission approved the project and suggested some alterations to the plan, such as lowering building heights.
