STR zones in Chattanooga

Hello :) I am looking to buy a property to run as an Airbnb in Chattanooga. I know they have regulations but it seems from the government website you can operate in commercial zones (C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 UGCCC, IX, RF, RV, CX, SH). I tried to look at their short-term overlay map but can't get access. Does anyone know where these zones are located? One place I am looking at is St. Elmo area but can't find much info online about where I can buy and operate. 

Thanks!

Hey Lacey! I don't operate in that area, but I know how confusing zoning can be sometimes. I would talk to an STR-centric real estate agent in the area who can help you navigate these zones. If they don't know how, they are not the right agent for you.

Hey @Lacey Bediz, call the city. I am sure they can help you navigate the map.
