ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
A legal challenge was made regarding the legality of certain provisions of the Sign Ordinance 
for the City of Smyrna, at Chapter 82 of the Smyrna Code of Ordinances; and the City Council 
concluded that on July 15, 2024, it was necessary and desirable to adopt a moratorium for 
sixty (60) days on accepting or processing applications seeking the issuance of a sign permit 
for free standing signs while a legal review of the Sign Ordinance is conducted, and 
Resolution 2024-09 was adopted by the Mayor and City Council. Additionally, Resolution 
2024-011 (adopted August 26, 2024) extended the moratorium an additional sixty (60) days 
beginning September 12, 2024. And Resolution 2024-012 (adopted November 4, 2024) 
extended the moratorium an additional sixty (60) days beginning November 11, 2024. And 
Resolution 2025-005 (adopted January 6, 2025) extended the moratorium and additional sixty 
(60) days beginning January 10, 2025. Legal review has not concluded, therefore, it is 
necessary to extend the Moratorium an additional ninety (90) days with Resolution 2025-007 
to begin March 10, 2025.
