Smyrna’s City Council meeting was back in city hall Monday evening after months at the community center due to construction. There, the council unanimously approved a mixed-use rezoning that creates 390 multi-family units and 5,500 sq. ft. of commercial space on the west side of Riverview Road.
A small portion of the property will also be between Riverview Road and the Chattahoochee River.
Brand Properties LLC requested to rezone 28 acres of property from heavy industrial to mixed-use conditional. The property was recently annexed from Cobb County and is currently used as a landfill and for construction debris.
