City planners voted to defer judgment for 30 days on a rezoning request by a beer brewery which wants to begin operations at 800 North Market St.
The Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission heard objections from neighborhood groups which said they had not been consulted on the $10,000 project, and requested time to air their differences with the applicants.
“This beer brewery will be less than two blocks from a local church, and the pastor there said he has some concerns,” said Wilma Akridge, who led the opposition.
“No one presented anything to our organization,” added a neighborhood association member Hattie Darby, who also opposed the project.
