An Alabama developer hopes to build a new 264-unit apartment complex off Bonny Oaks Drive in Chattanooga, just across the road from Amazon’s fulfillment center.
Birmingham-based Arbour Valley Development will ask to rezone the 30-acre, wooded lot at 2848 Anderson Terrace at Monday’s meeting of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.
Planners will issue either an “approve” or “deny” recommendation to the City Council, which will have the final vote on whether the plan gets the green light.
The complex, which is called “Arbours at Bonny Oaks” on plans submitted to the Regional Planning Agency, calls for 11 apartment buildings, a clubhouse with a pool, three ponds and a playground. Arbour Valley Development did not return requests for comment on the site, which is sandwiched between Tyner Academy, Silverdale Baptist Academy, Amazon’s center and a slew of single-family homes.
The planning commission staff is in favor of the plan because multi-family housing fits well with the area, according to the report filed with the planning commission. But staffers also encouraged the developer to consider ways to mitigate the impact on the apartments’ neighbors.
