February 10, 2025 6:00 PM City of Smyrna Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting 2800 King Street SE Council Chambers Page 2 of 5 Community Development has reviewed the zoning proposal from R-15 to MU-Conditional against the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan. The zoning proposal will require modification of the Future Land Use Plan from MODR (Moderate Density Residential) to MU (Mixed Use) to be consistent with the MU Zoning District. Community Development has reviewed the proposed rezoning against the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and believes the MU-Conditional zoning district is an appropriate zoning category consistent with adjacent properties. Community Development staff is supportive of the change in zoning from R-15 to MU-Conditional. Community Development recommends approval of the rezoning from R-15 to MU- Conditional at 1464 Spring Street with the following conditions: 1.
