Smyrna planning commission approves multiple plats and site plans, denies one rezoning; several items deferred

Smyrna Municipal Planning Commission members on Feb. 6 approved a slate of plats, site plans and a rezoning request to industrial use, denied a separate rezoning request for residential development, and deferred several items for one month.

The commission approved site plans and plats including 7 Brew Coffee (site plan), Sewerts Landing outparcels, Bridal Salinger Way, Bridal Downs Section 1 Phase 1, Riley Downs Section 1 Phase 2 and the Linwood preliminary plat (Section 1, phases 1 and 2). It also approved a rezoning from C2 to I1 for a tract on Trident Drive (Caravan Ventures) and accepted the February bond review report with staff recommendations. The commission denied a request by House on the Rock LLC to rezone a parcel on Enon Springs Road West from C2 to PRD.

Several items were deferred: the preliminary plat for Estates at Williamsport was deferred for one month; Rocky Fort Bridal (applicant Janet Ibrahim) was deferred one month; and other routine deferrals were recorded where applicants requested more time.

Many of the approvals were conditional on resolving standard staff comments before permit/plat recordation or obtaining third-party approvals (for example, TDOT permission for landscaping in state right-of-way and written confirmation from CSX for uses within railroad easements). Where the commission recorded technical conditions, staff will track those items before issuing final approvals.

The meeting used voice votes for most motions; specific numeric tallies were not provided in the record.
