Manufacturers Road rezoning bid dropped
A proposal by an Atlanta group for a new 300-unit apartment complex on a vacant waterfront tract off Manufacturers Road in Chattanooga was withdrawn on Monday.
NGI Acquisitions LLC had sought a zoning change on the 7.2-acre parcel at 702 Manufacturers Road from manufacturing to Urban General Commercial from the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission.
The Regional Planning Agency staff, however, had expressed reservations about the zoning change, saying it would introduce new multi-family uses in an established industrial area and recommended the planning panel deny the request.
A representative for the project withdrew the zoning request before the planning panel could hear the case.
