The Smithfield City Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026, to consider two proposed amendments to the city's municipal code. The meeting, set for 6:05 p.m., will address changes to single-family residential zoning regulations within the city's Title 17.
New R-2 Residential Zone Proposed
The first item on the agenda involves Ordinance 2026-21, which seeks to amend the Smithfield City Municipal Code Title 17, titled "Zoning Regulations." This specific ordinance proposes adding an entire new chapter to the code: Chapter 17.58, which would establish the "R-2 Single-Family Residential Zone."
Amendments to R-1 Zone
The second item slated for the Nov. 18, 2026, hearing is Ordinance 2026-23. This ordinance also targets Title 17 of the Smithfield City Municipal Code's zoning regulations. It proposes amendments to the existing Chapter 17.56, which governs the "R-1 Single-Family Residential Zone."
Hearing Schedule and Focus
Both public hearings are scheduled to take place during the Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026, at 6:05 p.m. The proceedings will focus on how these amendments to the R-1 and R-2 single-family residential zones will impact the current municipal code.
