Council extends 60-day moratorium on freestanding sign permit processing
Summary
Smyrna's Mayor and Council approved a 60-day continuation of a moratorium beginning June 8 on accepting or processing applications for freestanding sign permits to allow staff and council time to review sign standards.
Smyrna — The Smyrna Mayor and Council approved a resolution Monday to extend a 60-day moratorium, beginning June 8, 2025, on accepting or processing applications for freestanding sign permits.
The resolution (2025-009) was presented under community-development business. Councilmember Lindley moved approval; Councilmember Oglesby seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 6-0.
Staff said the moratorium will give the city time to review sign regulations and ensure any permit processing aligns with updated zoning and design standards. The resolution authorizes the mayor or mayor pro tem to sign related documents to implement the moratorium.
The moratorium specifically applies to freestanding signs and does not, in the text presented to council, address other permit classes. Council did not record public comment on this item during the meeting.
The resolution will remain in effect for 60 consecutive days starting June 8, 2025, unless council takes further action earlier.
