A. COW2026-022 Review of the March 16, 2026 Mayor and Council Meeting Agenda Z26-100: Joey Staubes, Planner II, provided the following background: The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide two lots into three lots while retaining the existing R-15 zoning category. The property was previously approved for a four-lot subdivision with a side setback reduction from 10 ft. to 5 ft. and a lot width reduction from 85 ft. to 50 ft. The new subdivision request will allow three new single-family detached homes to be built on three separate lots utilizing the variances previously granted in V20- 073. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 6-0 at the March 9, 2026, meeting. V26-019: Joey Staubes, Planner II, provided the following background: The applicant is requesting approval to subdivide property at 2773 Mildred Place into two (2) single-family residential lots. The applicant plans to subdivide the property within the requirements of the R15 zoning district, so no rezoning is required. The subject property is 0.89 acres with a proposed density of 2.24 units/acre which is within the Low Density Residential land use classification (under 3 units/acre). The proposed subdivision will result in two (2) lots being 23,408 sq. ft. and 16,793 sq. ft. in size. The existing home will remain and one (1) new lot will be created. The new lot (Lot 2) meets most of the R-15 zoning requirements, however, one variance is requested to reduce the lot width from 85’ to 75’. The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 6-0 at the March 9, 2026, meeting. Ordinance Revisions: Scott Cochran, City Attorney, explained that there are going to be a total of five ordinance revisions, including updates for mobile food vendors, bail bondsmen, tattoo establishments, precious metal dealers, and the film industry. The updates include standard application processes, appeal rights, and procedures for suspending or revoking permits.

The recommendations proposed are those that the developers initiated as part of the development. Those recommendations are factored into the analysis. GDOT has jurisdictions over S. Cobb Dr. improvements. The City of Smyrna controls the traffic lights. Russell Martin, Community Development Director, explained that some of the issues that have been brought forward are not project-related issues. Based on the traffic analysis, Mr. Martin continues to recommend approval.

POL2026-002: Mayor Norton explained that the City Chaplaincy Program policy (Ben 7-0) was adopted on July 1, 2020, to establish a corps of volunteer ministers to supplement the City’s other employee assistance programs. The program was originally put in place under prior leadership, and while it served a thoughtful purpose, it was never fully implemented. Both our Police and Fire departments continue to have their own chaplaincy policies. If other City staff need chaplain services, we can coordinate through those departments or utilize our Employee Assistance Program. Our goal is to streamline the process and administration while keeping the same level of support. The City wants to keep the strong, informal relationships in place that have worked so well for our staff over the years.
