June 05, 2023 7:00 PM City of Smyrna Mayor and Council Meeting Smyrna Community Center Magnolia Room Page 8 of 15 Shaun Martin, Williams Park Community, was sworn in and asked for clarification. Scott Cochran, City Attorney, explained that the state legislature adopted a law last year that required municipalities modify their existing zoning code. Most changes had to do with the manner in which appeals were handled. First, it designates that zoning cases are legislative while variance cases are quasi-judicial. Mr. Cochran stated that this will not change much the way in which the city currently operates. Most of the amendment has to do with the vehicle by which appeals go to the superior court.
