Brentwood Leaders Approve New Zoning District

The city of Brentwood has created a new zoning option aimed at preserving scenic and historic areas along one of the oldest stretches of the city along the Old Smyrna Road corridor. The new Agricultural Residential Estate – Innovative Project zone or AR-IP will provide greater flexibility by allowing a minimum lot size of two acres while still maintaining the overall one unit per three-acre density of the regular Agricultural Residential or AR zoning district. The traditional AR zoning district was originally established in 1973 and assigned to the eastern portion of town.
