Council approves multiple zoning changes, appointments and public‑works contracts; one rezoning deferred

Chattanooga City Council approved a slate of ordinances, resolutions, appointments and contracts during a single session that covered zoning changes, easement abandonments, board appointments, tax‑increment financing intent and multiple public‑works agreements.

The council passed measures to close and abandon portions of right‑of‑way and sanitary sewer easements, lifted planned‑unit‑development conditions on Magnolia Leaf Lane, rezoned properties at several addresses, confirmed multiple mayoral and council appointments to TIF and advisory committees, and authorized several public‑works memoranda of understanding and contracts. One rezoning (5813 Lee Highway) was deferred for 60 days; a separate rezoning at 2008 East 14th Street was denied.
