Form Based Code Committee - 08/13/2026

The Form Based Code Committee of the Chattanooga City Council met on August 13, 2026, to review a request for a major modification to the city's form-based code. The primary procurement-related discussion involved a request to allow a pole sign at 110 West 10th Street, a site zoned for Industrial Mixed Use. The applicant sought permission to replace an existing sign cabinet with a new Bank of America cabinet on the same pole, which is currently not permitted under the code. Committee members discussed precedents for similar signage approvals, sign dimensions, and compliance with height and square footage restrictions. The committee approved the motion to allow the sign with considerations on size limitations. No public opposition was noted, and the committee also addressed procedural matters including permit issuance timelines and upcoming meeting schedules.
