An effort to rezone a tract in the redeveloping Glass Street area to put in a dozen new apartments drew opposition on Monday, but the project received approval from planners.

Adamson Developers won a rezoning of the parcel at 2208 Glass St. from C-2 commercial to Urban General Commercial from the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.

Developer Bobby Adamson said plans are to move forward with the market-rate apartments if he receives city council approval on Nov. 13.

But, several people raised questions about the project.

Teal Thibaud said the Glass House Collective and other organizations expected to meet with the development group in a meeting to learn more about the proposal, but no one from company showed up. She said she wasn’t opposing the zoning change, but reserving her support of it pending a meeting.
