Planners defer decision on Ooltewah development

A development group is crafting plans for 166 single-family homes and 32 townhomes on a 92-acre vacant tract at 10444 Ooltewah-Georgetown Road.

Jooma Development LLC is seeking a zoning change on the tract from A-1 Agricultural to R-1 Single Family. But Mike Price, owner of MAP Engineers, on Monday sought and received a deferral of the case for a month from the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.

Planning Commission staff had recommended denying the proposed zoning change. Staff said that approving the request would introduce the first R-1 single-family district along Ooltewah-Georgetown Road north of Mahan Gap Road.
