Design Review is an important tool for protecting community character by maintaining the identity and sense of place. It protects the character of these special areas by ensuring that new development, or changes to existing development are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood.The Design Review process administers to a wide range of design issues. These include open space and natural features, pedestrian and traffic circulation, building scale and massing, architectural history and details, fences, landscaping, and stormwater runoff. In addition, signs, site lighting, and advertising features are reviewed in commercial districts. The review process allows the City to look beyond the specifics of a proposed development, and consider it's context. How the project will fit and benefit its surroundings is a key aspect of the review process. Design Review rewards the community and individual property owners, in many The Chattanooga Historical Zoning Ordinance identifies four residential neighbourhoods, and one commercial area that are subject to Design Review.
