2012 AIA TENNESSEE ANNUAL CONVENTION & EXPO

 URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP
URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP
BRIEFING MATERIALS
While our city has undergone a remarkable renaissance, there are still some
neighborhoods that have been forgotten along the way. East Chattanooga is one of
these places. This is a period of great change in our city, but the fact remains that
Chattanooga will always be a place where neighborhoods matter.

Diverse teams of talented individuals ranging from artists to city councilmen are
working to develop a revitalized creative district amidst the 1920’s ‘Main Street’
architecture on historic Glass Street, in the heart of East Chattanooga.

Glass House Collective’s (GHC) restored storefront on Glass Street demonstrates
the potential for the District’s historic buildings to once again become the nexus
of urban life in East Chattanooga. Through creative events and workshops GHC
continues to build community participation and awareness of the District. The
organization has recently received a $300K grant to support streetscape and façade
improvements on Glass Street.

With your help, the community hopes to gain a set of tools that can be used to
mobilize local support, engage key partners to enable a well-rounded strategy, and
foster new levels of cooperation with the City.

Sounds simple enough, right?
But before we can plan, we need to get to know the community.

Observe what’s here…and imagine what could be!

I. LOCATION
For 25 years, Chattanooga has focused redevelopment efforts on the downtown core,
most recently on the Southside. Twelve neighborhoods in the East Chattanooga area
have grassroots leadership and a new vision for improvement. Now is the time to
extend our re-development focus to this area.

Visual 1.
Despite deep disinvestment since the 1960’s, East Chattanooga has been strengthened
by arterial roadways that provide a direct link from downtown to recent billion dollar
investments (Volkswagen and Amazon), commercial developments, and suburban
neighborhoods to the northeast – making it a key node for citywide vibrancy.

II. FOCUS AREA: GLASS STREET
Central to the communities that make up East Chattanooga is the historic Glass
Street, a once thriving commercial corridor.




Visual 3.
The two-story street already features bike lanes, public transit stops, and sidewalks
with clear pedestrian orientation.
II. FOCUS AREA: GLASS STREET




Visual 4.
The historic urban pattern and character sets the Glass Street commercial corridor apart
from other parts of the city. Nowhere within a 5-mile radius from Glass Street does a
combined commercial and residential opportunity exist.

Visual 5.
A recent vehicular count showed an average of 11,000 cars pass through Glass Street
every day. This is comparable to the car count on Manufacturers Road in front of the One
North Shore development.

III. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY
East Chattanooga was part of the annexation by the City of Chattanooga in 1925 and
contains the northern part of the central city.




Visual 8.
Dating back to the 1800’s, the area has been a family farm, Civil War battlefield, and thriving
commercial and residential community. In the 1880s, industrial developments in the area
included a butter dish factory, curtain pole factory, stove foundries, wheelbarrow works,
sawmill, shoe factory and the hosiery mill.
III. HISTORY OF THE COMMUNITY




Visual 9.
Up until the 1960’s, locally-owned businesses dominated the Glass Street commercial
corridor that served hundreds of area residents.

VI. PREVIOUS STUDIES & PLANS: EAST CHATTANOOGA & BEYOND

COMMUNITY INPUT:
Where We Stand (2010) was developed by the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies
at the request of Chattanooga Stand. In May of 2009, Chattanooga Stand initiated a
community visioning effort for the Chattanooga region. Over the course of 5 months,
Stand staff and volunteers collected responses from over 26,000 Chattanooga area
residents to four open-ended questions about the future of the region. The purpose
of this report is to identify the most common themes that emerged from the Stand
responses and to provide supplemental information and data that relate to the
identified challenges and opportunities in the Chattanooga region.
LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvcTM4Y0FiMWpSbHM

37406 Stand Survey Results (2010) was compiled by Stand to reflect the input of over
500 residents from the East Chattanooga community.
LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvdllTdFZuQ3FzQ0U


NEIGHBORHOOD ASSESSMENTS:
The Chattanooga Neighborhood Assessment (2011) was developed by Community
Development Strategies at the request of Community Impact of Chattanooga. The
assessment focuses on thirteen neighborhoods in Chattanooga’s urban core. The
purpose of the assessment is to provide a sense of the direction in which the subject
neighborhoods are moving, to identify key issues across all neighborhoods, and to make
recommendations about further action.
LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvVVhELVl6ZnQ0cjg


CONNECTIVITY:
The Chattanooga Trails and Master Greenway Plan (2009) was developed by the Trust for
Public Land and the City of Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Greenway Master Plan calls
for creating greenway trails along tributaries of the Tennessee River and connecting
them to the Riverpark, a celebrated linear park along the banks of the Tennessee River.
Explore the Chattanooga Greenway Master Plan was developed by A Carroll GIS for the
Chattanooga, TN office of the Trust for Public Land (2009).

VI. PREVIOUS STUDIES & PLANS: EAST CHATTANOOGA & BEYOND

The Chattanooga Area Regional Bicycle Facilities Master Plan was developed as part
of the region’s effort to continue improving bicycle and pedestrian accommodations
in the Chattanooga area. In 2008 the Chattanooga-Hamilton County/North Georgia
Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), the regional transportation planning
organizations in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the North Georgia area, initiated the
development of a Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the Chattanooga region.
LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvcjJ4SDJKN3hxeGs

Chattanooga’s City R&D project was hosted by CreateHere in partnership with GOOD
Magazine. Four potentially transformative ideas for the future of connectivity between
downtown Chattanooga and Enterprise South were generated through City R&D. Two of
these ideas consider multi-modal transportation between these centers of commerce
and culture; alternatively, the other two ideas focus on innovative ways to animate
spaces along the way – which includes the Glass Street commercial corridor.
LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvSU9WQVAxZjItbUk


LAND USE:
The East Chattanooga Area Plan (2004) was developed by the Regional Planning
Agency at the request of the Chattanooga City Council. This report details the RPA’s
responsibilities towards the community regarding plan input, sets the study boundary
and provides a guideline for the plan regarding residential and commercial growth and
protection of environmental resources.

  • 2. URBAN DESIGN WORKSHOP BRIEFING MATERIALS While our city has undergone a remarkable renaissance, there are still some neighborhoods that have been forgotten along the way. East Chattanooga is one of these places. This is a period of great change in our city, but the fact remains that Chattanooga will always be a place where neighborhoods matter. Diverse teams of talented individuals ranging from artists to city councilmen are working to develop a revitalized creative district amidst the 1920’s ‘Main Street’ architecture on historic Glass Street, in the heart of East Chattanooga. Glass House Collective’s (GHC) restored storefront on Glass Street demonstrates the potential for the District’s historic buildings to once again become the nexus of urban life in East Chattanooga. Through creative events and workshops GHC continues to build community participation and awareness of the District. The organization has recently received a $300K grant to support streetscape and façade improvements on Glass Street. With your help, the community hopes to gain a set of tools that can be used to mobilize local support, engage key partners to enable a well-rounded strategy, and foster new levels of cooperation with the City. Sounds simple enough, right? But before we can plan, we need to get to know the community. Observe what’s here…and imagine what could be!

  • 4. TOUR I. LOCATION For 25 years, Chattanooga has focused redevelopment efforts on the downtown core, most recently on the Southside. Twelve neighborhoods in the East Chattanooga area have grassroots leadership and a new vision for improvement. Now is the time to extend our re-development focus to this area. Direct Route Interstate Streets Historic Glass Street Visual 1. Despite deep disinvestment since the 1960’s, East Chattanooga has been strengthened by arterial roadways that provide a direct link from downtown to recent billion dollar investments (Volkswagen and Amazon), commercial developments, and suburban neighborhoods to the northeast – making it a key node for citywide vibrancy.

  • 7. II. FOCUS AREA: GLASS STREET Visual 4. The historic urban pattern and character sets the Glass Street commercial corridor apart from other parts of the city. Nowhere within a 5-mile radius from Glass Street does a combined commercial and residential opportunity exist.
  • 8. II. FOCUS AREA: GLASS STREET Visual 5. A recent vehicular count showed an average of 11,000 cars pass through Glass Street every day. This is comparable to the car count on Manufacturers Road in front of the One North Shore development.
  • 9. II. FOCUS AREA: GLASS STREET circa 1920 2012 Visual 6. and 7. The scale, rhythm, and craftsmanship of many existing buildings cannot be replicated today and are valuable resources that can attract additional investment to the area. * Glass Street 3D brings the Glass Street corridor to life on Google Earth, turning a virtual 2D into a three dimensional landscape with models rich in details and features.

  • 24. VI. PREVIOUS STUDIES & PLANS: EAST CHATTANOOGA & BEYOND COMMUNITY INPUT: Where We Stand (2010) was developed by the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies at the request of Chattanooga Stand. In May of 2009, Chattanooga Stand initiated a community visioning effort for the Chattanooga region. Over the course of 5 months, Stand staff and volunteers collected responses from over 26,000 Chattanooga area residents to four open-ended questions about the future of the region. The purpose of this report is to identify the most common themes that emerged from the Stand responses and to provide supplemental information and data that relate to the identified challenges and opportunities in the Chattanooga region. LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvcTM4Y0FiMWpSbHM 37406 Stand Survey Results (2010) was compiled by Stand to reflect the input of over 500 residents from the East Chattanooga community. LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvdllTdFZuQ3FzQ0U NEIGHBORHOOD ASSESSMENTS: The Chattanooga Neighborhood Assessment (2011) was developed by Community Development Strategies at the request of Community Impact of Chattanooga. The assessment focuses on thirteen neighborhoods in Chattanooga’s urban core. The purpose of the assessment is to provide a sense of the direction in which the subject neighborhoods are moving, to identify key issues across all neighborhoods, and to make recommendations about further action.

  • 25. VI. PREVIOUS STUDIES & PLANS: EAST CHATTANOOGA & BEYOND The Chattanooga Area Regional Bicycle Facilities Master Plan was developed as part of the region’s effort to continue improving bicycle and pedestrian accommodations in the Chattanooga area. In 2008 the Chattanooga-Hamilton County/North Georgia Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), the regional transportation planning organizations in Chattanooga, Tennessee and the North Georgia area, initiated the development of a Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the Chattanooga region. LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvcjJ4SDJKN3hxeGs Chattanooga’s City R&D project was hosted by CreateHere in partnership with GOOD Magazine. Four potentially transformative ideas for the future of connectivity between downtown Chattanooga and Enterprise South were generated through City R&D. Two of these ideas consider multi-modal transportation between these centers of commerce and culture; alternatively, the other two ideas focus on innovative ways to animate spaces along the way – which includes the Glass Street commercial corridor. LINK: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0X5LKESJuzvSU9WQVAxZjItbUk LAND USE: The East Chattanooga Area Plan (2004) was developed by the Regional Planning Agency at the request of the Chattanooga City Council. This report details the RPA’s responsibilities towards the community regarding plan input, sets the study boundary and provides a guideline for the plan regarding residential and commercial growth and protection of environmental resources.
