SIGN THE PETITION opposing a 12-Story building behind the Basilica HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNpoA4nHNzJ-oBEHtDi_PGCRHFBKckV8XnTI9RqAUuL_DTuQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=104884407907771702307 On Dec. 8, the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Regional Planning Agency voted to DEFER the rezoning request to build a 12-story building a few feet behind the Basilica that would overshadow our Basilica and would threaten the church's structural integrity. Fr. Carter, engineer James Poston, and others gave opposing comments at the meeting. The RPA voted to defer the rezoning request for 30 days so that the developer can submit a parking study. The next public hearing will be Monday, Jan. 12, 2026 at 1pm at the Hamilton County Courthouse, 625 Georgia Ave., 4th Floor, Room 402.
Please submit your concerns in writing to BOTH the Regional Planning Agency (https://chcrpa.org/public-input) - Address: 19 Patten Parkway, Case No: 2025-0185; AND the City Council (https://chattanooga.gov/government/city-council).
Local 3 News interviewed Fr. Carter and showed just how close this building would be to our historic structure.
