Smyrna council denies Enon Springs PRD request, approves Bridal Drive industrial rezoning
Summary
Council denied a proposed PRD of 35 townhomes on Enon Springs Road and approved a rezoning of a Bridal Drive parcel from C‑2 to I‑1; planning staff and the planning commission provided recommendations on both applications.
The Smyrna Town Council took two separate rezoning actions: it denied a request to rezone a small Enon Springs Road parcel to a planned residential development (PRD) and approved a rezoning of a Bridal Drive parcel from C‑2 to I‑1.
On Enon Springs Road West, a PRD request from House on Rock LLC would have allowed 35 townhomes (about 7.5 units per acre). Planning staff and the planning commission recommended denial; the planning commission’s motion cited inconsistency with surrounding C‑2 zoning, concerns about spot zoning and traffic at the Enon Springs intersection. Council voted to deny the rezoning.
On Bridal Drive, Caravan Ventures requested rezoning of a 3.57‑acre parcel from C‑2 to I‑1 (industrial light). Planning commission and staff recommended approval. Councilmembers discussed aesthetics and buffering because the parcel is visible from the I‑24 off‑ramp; they said any industrial use would be subject to site‑plan review and landscaping standards. The council approved the C‑2 to I‑1 rezoning.
Both actions will be reflected in town zoning records and, when applicable, advance to site‑plan and subdivision review processes.
