March 12, 2026 6:00 PM City of Smyrna Mayor and Council Meeting 2800 King Street SE Human Resources Training Room Page 2 of 5 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.
