Chattanooga Historic Zoning Commission Meeting - 10/15/2026

The Chattanooga Historic Zoning Commission met on October 15, 2026, to review certificates of appropriateness for projects in the St. Elmo Historic District. The commission approved the new-construction application for 4313 St. Elmo Avenue (HZ 2696) as submitted, with no conditions. For 4501 Tennessee Avenue (HZ-26-108), it approved the applicant’s presented options for a rear addition but deferred the proposed side dormer for further review. A member recused themself from both cases; the 4313 St. Elmo Avenue case proceeded after another commissioner arrived and quorum was restored.

The commission also considered a proposal to rebuild and improve the driveway serving 4613 Guild Trail (HZ-26-110), including gravel and concrete work. A motion to approve began, but the transcript ends before the motion’s conditions or outcome are recorded. Staff announced an informational meeting about the Lupton City Local Historic District for October 26 and said a new development review planner would start October 30. No contracts, procurement decisions, or spending allocations were identified.
