Residential Zoning Details

According to the City of Smithfield, the Jensen Gardens site is currently zoned R-1-10, which designates the area for single-family residential use with 10,000-square-foot requirements. The public hearing will provide a forum for discussing the implications of this five-unit development within the existing residential framework.

Municipal Code Amendments

In addition to the subdivision proposal, the Planning Commission will review Ordinance 2026-17. This ordinance is intended to amend Title 17 of the Smithfield City Municipal Code, which governs the city's zoning regulations. The hearing will allow for a formal review of these legislative changes to the municipal code.
