In The Zone: Chattamatters Explains The New Zoning Code in Chattanooga
William Newlin of Chattamatters joined Gino D today on The Afternoon Show to talk more about and to grasp the concept of the new zoning code and its significant role in Chattanooga.
Zoning is a regulatory framework that guides the development and use of land within a community. It delineates where residential, commercial, and industrial buildings can be located, essentially shaping the physical and social landscape of cities.
Zoning codes dictate what can be built, how tall structures can rise, and even influence aspects like parking availability and green spaces. These regulations not only help to ensure safety and order but also impact property rights, property values, and the overall character of neighborhoods.
One of the pressing questions around the new zoning code is whether it will foster the creation of more affordable housing. With rising housing costs in many cities, the need for more varied housing options, such as apartments and condos, is greater than ever.
In the conversation with William, we’ll explore not only the potential impact on housing affordability but also other strategies that can complement zoning reforms to enhance access to affordable housing.
