A part of Chattanooga that’s already a haven for apartment living may see even more units if a company wins a rezoning case this month.

About 220 apartments are proposed to be built on a 12.6-acre tract off Mountain Creek Road that’s currently zoned single-family, according to a request by ASA Engineering.

The Chattanooga company is asking for zoning for the apartment complex, which preliminary plans say would consist of four buildings, each of which would be three stories tall.

Allen Jones of ASA Engineering said designs for the complex are currently being worked through. Also, he said there are meetings with neighbors taking place before he goes before the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission on Dec. 13.

The parcels at 1145, 1149 and 1157 Mountain Creek Road are owned by Charles Hassler and Forest Prosser, according to documents submitted to planners.
