Public Hearing - Code Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to update section 908 in regards to the loading space requirements - City of Smyrna
Body
ISSUE: While reviewing the Zoning Ordinance, staff found several typing errors that need to be updated to reflect the current standards within Section 908.
