The Smyrna Municipal Planning Commission voted May 1 to approve the annexation, R‑1 zoning and plan of services for a roughly 6‑acre parcel on Lee Road submitted by Weekly Homes LLC.

Planning staff reported the property was part of a larger tract that remained in Rutherford County when adjacent land was previously annexed and that the current owner now seeks to build a single house and connect to the town sewer system. Staff characterized the request as consistent with the land‑use plan (medium‑ to single‑family residential) and with surrounding zoning. The commission approved the annexation with staff comments.

Why it matters: Approval allows this property to receive town sewer service and to build inside town limits; planning staff noted the request involves only one house and that the applicant chose annexation to access sewer service.
