Summary
The council passed a franchise ordinance for Pipe Properties LLC, approved a technology/credit‑card fees ordinance and a sanitary‑line closure on final reading, advanced several rezoning and right‑of‑way items on first reading, and deferred one right‑of‑way abandonment until August 4.
The council took a series of votes during its business meeting.
On final reading the council approved an ordinance granting Pipe Properties LLC a franchise to construct and maintain a roadway entering the existing building at 2501 Chestnut Street, subject to conditions (clerk read ordinance and the motion passed). An ordinance amending Chattanooga City Code part 2, chapter 10 (technology and credit card fees) passed on final reading. The council also approved an ordinance to close and abandon an approximately 103‑linear‑foot section of 8‑inch PVC sanitary line on the 6400 block of Middle Valley Road, subject to continuity of flow for existing service lines.
On planning items and first readings, the council moved and approved several rezonings and right‑of‑way closures: rezoning property at 518 East Manning Street from RN‑15 to TRN‑3 (planning item 2026‑0086) passed on first reading; rezoning 6340 Middle Valley Road from RN‑2 to RN‑3 (planning item 2026‑0084) passed on first reading; rezoning properties at 3714 Saint Amel Avenue and 3717 Tennessee Avenue from CC and RN‑15 to IMU (planning item 2026‑0080) passed on first reading; closure and abandonment items for a Chambers Street alley and a portion of Dupree Road were approved on the conditions presented. Councilwoman Noel moved to defer the item closing portions of Divine Avenue (item 8f) until August 4 and the motion to defer passed.
Where votes were recorded during the meeting they were taken by voice with the clerk’s reading and a council motion; no roll‑call tallies were read into the public minutes for the contested items described in this session.
The council’s clerk read each ordinance and planning item into the record before each vote. Where applicable the clerk referenced map numbers and tax map references in the ordinance language.
Next procedural steps for first‑reading items include the standard public‑hearing process where required before final reading and adoption.
