A proposed 12-story development threatens Chattanooga’s historic basilica, sparking opposition over structural and sacred view concerns.
Chattanooga’s Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, a historic 1890s landmark and Vatican-designated basilica, faces potential threats from a proposed 12-story redevelopment on Patten Parkway.
Church leaders and residents oppose the rezoning, citing risks to the basilica’s structural integrity, sacred views, and parking infrastructure.
The project, which would replace the site of the first Coca-Cola bottling plant with apartments and commercial space, has been deferred by the regional planning commission for 30 days to assess its impact on the area’s historic character and capacity.
The final decision remains pending.
