Update: On 7/16/2018 the Smyrna City Council voted against rezoning the Sports Avenue property that would allow a developer to build an apartment complex. Your petition signatures and letters to the City Council members were great contributions to the success of this vote. Thank you.
-------------------------------------------------------------
An application to rezone property on Sports Avenue near the intersection of Spring Road has been filed by the owner so that it can be sold to a developer with plans to build a 350+ unit apartment complex. A development of that size will add 500 cars to the Spring Road corridor and increase commute times.
This petition is a request to the Smyrna Zoning Board to deny this rezoning change and ask the property owner to select one of the other alternative offers for their property.

Please reject the rezoning for high density housing on Sports Ave. There is no need for this when there are many new construction homes & apartments in the area which are not full & the negative impact with traffic on Spring Rd as well as other issues such as school, emergency service, etc.
The current road configuration cannot accommodate the number of additional cars to morning or evening traffic without creating additional delays. Clearly Argyle cannot handle the additional enrollment.
We do not need more apartments! The school is already crowded. and the traffic this area is already a problem.
Please reject the rezoning. We need a better plan for Spring road and public school, not just building more apartments for short term.
Thank you for bringing this to the residents of Vinings pointe
Smyrna does not need any new high-density housing, especially apartments. We need to focus on increasing our quality of life and decreasing traffic, not making both worse. This development would negatively impact both.
There are too many apartments and too many cars already. Al the schools are overcrowded already. Not good for Smyrna.

Cumberland Church needs to show that it cares for the welfare of this community; not just money. The apartment complex is a very bad idea for this location.
