AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SMYRNA, GEORGIA, PROVIDING
THA T THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, APPENDIX A, ZONING, SECTION
402, DEFINED WORDS AND TERMS, CITY OF SMYRNA, GEORGIA, BE
AMENDED BY REVISING SAID SECTION TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
DEFINITIONS FOR THE PURPOSE ON INTERPRETING THE
ORDINANCE. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SMYRNA, GEORGIA:
That Appendix A, Zoning, Section 402, City of Smyrna, Georgia, be
amended to read as follows:
'Section 402.3 Apartment Building: A building containing three or more dwelling units
operated under single ownership and rental agreements, and occupied by families living
independent of each other.
Section 402.4.1 Assisted Living Facility: A facility designed for housing adults who need
help with everyday tasks, such as dressing, bathing, eating, or using the bathroom, but
they do not need full-time nursing care. Rooms are generally self-contained; i.e.; having
their own small efficiency kitchenette, bathroom, living area, and bedroom. Alternatively,
individual living spaces may resemble a dormitory or hotel room consisting of a private
or semi-private sleeping area and a shared bathroom. Common areas for socializing, as
well as a central kitchen and dining room for preparing and eating meals, are required.
Rooms are leased, rather than owner-occupied. Because they do not have complete
kitchens or meet the minimum square footage for dwelling units as defined by the Cityis
Zoning Ordinance, assisted living facilities are not considered dwelling units.
-
Section 402.32.1 Independent Senior Living Housing: A type of multi-family residential
facility where the residents are adults, age 55 and older, that can live independently
without daily assistance. Services and amenities may be provided within the building,
such as meals, socialization, and recreation; but does not include assistance with daily
personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting or eating. Independent living includes
both rental assisted and market rate apartments or cottages, or can be bought in perpetuity
on the same basis as a condominium. Units are generally comparable in size to other
non-senior housing in the market and therefore are considered to be dwelling units, as
defined by the Cityis Zoning Ordinance.
Section 402. 57.1 Townhouse/ Townhome: A single-family dwelling constructed as part
of a series of three (3) or more dwellings separated by property lines, all of which are
either attached to the adjacent dwelling or dwellings by common walls or are located
immediately adjacent thereto with no visible separation between the walls or roofs.
These dwellings shall be at least two (2) stories, not including a basement and be
separated from adjoining houses in the same row or group by architectural style,
changing of facade, or offsets. Ownership is in fee simple:'

Severability: Should any section of this Ordinance be declared invalid or
unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall not
affect the validity of the Ordinance as a whole or any part thereof which is not
specifically declared to be invalid or unconstitutional.
