Developers are requesting a special permit to allow them to bring green infrastructure and shared space to a planned subdivision on Ooltewah-Ringgold Road.

The 64-acre subdivision, called Farms at Creekside, is set to bring 145 single-family residential homes to the currently undeveloped property.

Developers hope to stack the homes on 41 acres and set aside 23.2 acres as open space, a grouping of uses that could be made possible by making the lot a planned unit development.

The planning commission unanimously voted to approve the proposal. Its staff recommendation stated that “the form and uses proposed is within keeping with the precedence of the area.”

The request will be brought before the Hamilton County Commission for a final vote in August.
