A two-hour talk about Chattanooga’s form-based code Tuesday afternoon gave City Council members their first formal introduction to the sweeping downtown zoning changes. The meeting, meant to introduce city leaders to the code, predates an upcoming, June 2 public forum and workshop on form-based code parking.
Chris Anderson, District 7; Moses Freeman, District 8; Jerry Mitchell, District 2; and Chip Henderson, District 1, all represent areas affected by the form-based code. All attended Tuesday’s meeting.
Karen Hundt, director of the Regional Planning Agency’s community design group, primarily took the reins at Tuesday’s meeting, and went step-by-step through the code as it stands now and through the process that got the code to this point.
