Could a Waffle House be coming to Smithville?

During its regular monthly meeting Monday night, December 9th the Smithville Planning Commission will consider a final site plan for the establishment of a restaurant at 312 East Broad Street (Waffle House Site Plan) but that does not necessarily make it a done deal.

The planning commission meeting will be held Monday, December 9 at 5 p.m. at the Smithville City Hall.

Other items on the agenda are as follows:

Call to order

Approval of September 9, 2024 minutes

Discussion regarding allowing tiny homes as a permitted use
