Signal Mountain Space House Looking For Zoning Change

Written by Gary Poole
July 20, 2009 – 7:52 am

The new owners of the nationally famous Signal Mountain “Space House” are running into local opposition over their plans to convert the house into a vacation rental. James Farris of Quest Holdings LLC, the company that bought the house last year, has asked that the property be rezoned from single-family residential to multi-family residential.

Farris has made extensive renovations to the house and in his zoning request told the Regional Planning Agency that his plan was to rent out the house for short-term vacations. Currently, the house can only be rented out for a minimum of a month, at the advertised rate of $2,100 per month.

However, not everyone is in favor of the re-zoning. Area residents have contacted the Regional Planning Agency and expressed concerns about increased traffic and parking, plus what is known as “spot zoning”. The matter will be addressed publically at August 10 meeting of RPA, and if approved there, will be presented to the Hamilton County Commission later in the month.
