Public Meetings - Greenville, North Carolina

The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 18, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included approval of minutes, a preliminary plat request, a text amendment to residential density standards, and a tabled election of officers. Consent Calendar - Minutes Approval: The commission unanimously approved the minutes from the June 20, 2023 meeting. Public Comments & Testimony - Item 2 (OP Business Park): Kristen Shaw appeared in favor of the preliminary plat, but deferred to a surveyor who was not present. No opposition was voiced. - Item 3 (Text Amendment – MUI Density): Michelle Clemens (East Group, working with Elliott Sidewalk Communities) spoke in favor, explaining that the amendment allows urban residential development with higher parking requirements to avoid spillover. No opposition was voiced. Discussion Items - Preliminary Plat – OP Business Park: Spruill & Associates, Inc. requested approval for a 2-lot (10.987 acres) commercial plat at the southeastern intersection of Northeast Greenville Boulevard and Old Pactolus Road. The property (Pitt County parcel 28662) is in a heavy commercial zone and partially within the 100-year floodplain, requiring buildings to be at least two feet above base flood elevation. Access will be from Old Pactolus Road only. The Subdivision Review Committee and staff recommended approval. - Text Amendment – MUI Density: Elliott Sidewalk Communities proposed increasing density in the Mixed Use Institutional District (MUI) from a maximum of 8 multifamily units per acre to allowing units with a minimum habitable floor area of 400 sq ft for one-bedroom and 500 sq ft for two-or-more-bedroom units. The amendment removes the minimum lot area requirement, enabling taller buildings (estimated 4–5 stories), and adds a minimum parking requirement of 1 space per unit to reduce on-street parking. The change aligns with the city's Horizon plan and ECU's Millennial Campus/Intersect East project. Staff recommended approval, noting similar standards exist for downtown. - Election of Officers: Chair Kevin Faison noted this might be his last meeting. City staff explained that under city code §9-24, the chair serves a one-year term, eligible for one additional term. Since Faison filled an unexpired term, the impact on term limits was unclear. The commission voted to table the election until the August meeting to allow legal research. Key Outcomes - Preliminary Plat Approved: Motion to recommend approval was made, seconded, and passed unanimously (no recorded dissents). - Text Amendment Approved: Motion to recommend approval (consistent with the comprehensive plan and adopting staff report) passed unanimously. - Election of Officers Tabled: Motion to table elections until the August 2023 meeting passed unanimously.

The Greenville Board of Adjustment met on June 22, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included approval of previous minutes, a decision on an old business special use permit, two public hearings for new business, announcements, and adjournment. Attorney Phillips provided procedural guidance on quasi-judicial hearings. Consent Calendar - February 23, 2023 Minutes: Approved unanimously. - May 25, 2023 Minutes: Approved unanimously. Old Business - Proposed BOA Decision and Order Granting Special Use Permit for Richard P. and Meridith Rizzuti: This item concerned a special use permit for a multi-purpose center (not a parking lot, as clarified). Due to two board members' absences and two non-voting members, only four voting members remained. Attorney Phillips confirmed a quorum existed and a majority of four (three votes) could decide. The board voted to move forward with the previously drafted decision (motion by Ann Bellis, seconded by Daniel Worrell, 4-0). A second motion to adopt the proposed decision (motion by Daniel Worrell, seconded by Ryan Purdle) passed 4-0. Later, a technical correction was made to change the signing authority from Sharon Evans to Vice Chair Christopher Lilly; this amendment passed unanimously. New Business - Public Hearing – Ahamed Saleem (Tobacco Shop Expansion): The applicant sought a special use permit to expand an existing tobacco shop at 141 SW Greenville Boulevard into an adjacent unit. Staff presented conditions. However, the application packet contained pages from a different applicant (Ulysses Cisneros) and included construction details unrelated to the special use permit. After discussion about standing and application completeness, a motion to continue the matter to the next regular meeting was made by Hunt McKinnon and seconded by Ann Bellis. The board voted 4-3 to continue, with the requirement that the applicant submit a corrected, complete application free of additional fees. - Public Hearing – Kevia Braxton (Mobile Home Placement): The applicant requested a special use permit to place a mobile home on a lot at 3900 Azalea Street. Staff noted the site is in a floodplain and must comply with elevation requirements (2 feet above base flood elevation) and state building codes. No opposition was present. The board approved the finding of facts and the petition with staff-recommended conditions, each motion passing unanimously. Key Outcomes - Old Business: The Rizzuti special use permit decision was adopted (4-0). The signing authority was corrected to Vice Chair Christopher Lilly. - Saleem Tobacco Shop: Continued to July meeting (4-3 vote). Applicant must submit a corrected application with no additional fee. - Braxton Mobile Home: Approved unanimously with conditions, including floodplain compliance. - Announcements: Hunt McKinnon and Ann Bellis were recognized for their six years of service on the Board of Adjustment as they rotated off.

The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 20, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. Vice Chair John Collins presided. The commission approved two preliminary plats, tabled a rezoning request after public concern, approved another rezoning, and passed a text amendment consolidating alcohol retail uses. The meeting also recognized outgoing commissioners Hap Maxwell and John Collins for their service. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes (April 18, 2023): The commission unanimously approved the minutes from the previous meeting. Public Comments & Testimony - Item 4 – Unshakable Builders Rezoning (R9S to OR): - Support: Marie Peedon (Interbanks Engineering, representing the applicant) argued the rezoning would allow multifamily housing as a buffer between single-family homes and existing industrial/commercial zones, helping meet regional housing demand. She noted the property includes a 50-foot riparian buffer and that a traffic impact analysis would be required. Rosie O'Neill (representing groundbreaking developers) emphasized the need for upscale multifamily housing on that side of the river and suggested development could pressure the city to address existing neighborhood flooding issues. - Opposition: Carolyn Glass (resident of Greenfield Terrace since 1971, former NAB liaison) expressed concerns about inadequate information, existing drainage and flooding problems in the neighborhood, and potential increased traffic. She stated that a one-to-two-inch rain already causes flooding. Waylon Moore (executor of Edna Moore’s estate, adjacent property owner) noted no applicant outreach to neighbors, argued the rezoning is inconsistent with the Horizon 2026 land use plan, and requested a continuation for more discussion. - Item 5 – Redeeming Faith International Ministries Rezoning (MRS to R6): Frederick Hopkins (representing the church) spoke in favor, stating the church no longer plans to build on the site and wishes to sell for multifamily development. No opposition was voiced. Discussion Items - Item 2 – Manning Forest North Preliminary Plat: Staff presented a 5.423-acre single-lot plat zoned R6 (multifamily). No public speakers. The commission unanimously approved. - Item 3 – Nexus Harris Mill Run Preliminary Plat: Staff presented a 33.68-acre single-lot plat zoned R6. Michelle Clumas (The East Group, agent) answered questions. No opposition. Approved unanimously. - Item 4 – Unshakable Builders Rezoning (12.81 acres, Tipton Road): - Staff (Shantae) detailed the site’s flood hazard area, Parker’s Creek watershed, and a projected net increase of 537 trips per day. Under current R9S zoning, 36 single-family homes are possible; under the requested OR zoning, up to 130 multifamily units. The future land use plan designates the area as low-to-medium density residential. Staff recommended denial due to inconsistency with the plan. - Commissioner Andrew Denton recused himself (property interest). The board discussed flooding concerns, citing Daryl Norris (stormwater engineer) who confirmed watershed master plan data, existing drainage constraints under Memorial Drive and the railroad, and that development must meet no-net-increase stormwater standards but cannot be required to improve off-site conditions. - After public testimony, board members expressed sympathy for the neighborhood’s flood issues and noted lack of applicant-community communication. A motion to table for 60 days (to August 15, 2023) to allow applicant meetings with neighbors passed unanimously. - Item 5 – Redeeming Faith International Ministries Rezoning (5.84 acres, MacGregor Downs Road): - Staff noted the site is adjacent to recently approved multifamily zoning, not in a floodplain, and could generate 488 trips per day. The current MRS zoning yields 17 single-family lots; requested R6 yields about 60 multifamily units. Although the future land use plan shows office/institutional, staff found multifamily more appropriate given surrounding development and lack of office demand, and recommended approval. - The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to City Council. - Item 6 – Text Amendment: Consolidation of Wine and Beer Retail Uses: - Staff proposed merging the uses

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM on May 16, 2023, with an invocation by Chris West and roll call. The agenda included approval of the April 18, 2023 minutes, two preliminary plats (Manning Forest North and Nexus Harris Mill Run), two rezonings (Unshakable Builders, LLC and Redeeming Faith International Ministries, Inc.), and a text amendment to combine wine and beer shop uses. However, the provided raw transcript does not contain any discussion, deliberations, or votes on these agenda items. Instead, the transcript consists of a series of employee testimonials and promotional descriptions of various city projects (e.g., Wildwood Park, the African American Cultural Trail, traffic signal maintenance, recycling education, etc.) with no connection to the commission's scheduled business. No minutes were available. Discrepancy Between Agenda and Transcript The transcript repeatedly features speakers from multiple city departments (financial services, sanitation, fire rescue, inspections, traffic, code enforcement, etc.) describing their roles and work, as well as project announcements. No mention is made of the preliminary plats, rezonings, or text amendment listed on the agenda. No public comments or testimony are present. Consequently, no decisions, votes, or directives on the stated agenda items can be identified from the provided material. Key Outcomes None recorded. The transcript does not document any actions taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

The Greenville Board of Adjustment met on April 20, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The board held three public hearings and made decisions on special use permits for a multi-purpose center, a tobacco shop, and a microdistillery. The meeting included extensive testimony from applicants, opponents, and witnesses, along with board discussion and votes. Public Hearing: Multi-Purpose Center (Rizzuti) - Applicants: Richard P. and Meridith Rizzuti sought a special use permit to operate a multi-purpose center at 500 Elizabeth Street (plus two vacant lots at 414 Latham St. and 702 W. Fifth St.) in an R6 residential district. The center would host Christian study groups, Bible studies, and community activities for college students. The property includes an 8,500-square-foot house; only the first floor is used. The applicants also requested to use the two vacant lots for parking (17 spaces proposed). - Opponent: Miss Squires, a neighbor who lives on Latham Street for 17 years, testified against the permit, citing excessive traffic, parking congestion, noise, and negative impacts on her health and disability. She reported that the center has been operating since August 2022 without a permit, causing anxiety, increased blood pressure, and difficulty for caregivers and emergency vehicles. She requested conditions such as a midnight curfew, no third-party rentals, and six-month reviews. - Supporting Witnesses: Several students and volunteers spoke in favor, describing the center as a safe, supportive environment for study, faith, and community service. They emphasized that the parking lot would alleviate street parking issues and that the center closes by 5 PM on weekdays. - Board Discussion: Board members debated whether the use would be detrimental to public welfare and whether the parking plan was sufficient. Concerns included the appropriateness of a non-residential use in a residential neighborhood, the potential for growth beyond 17 parking spaces, and the need to protect neighbors' peace. The board ultimately found that the permit, with conditions, would not be detrimental and would allow regulation of parking and activities. - Key Outcomes: - Motion on detriment to public welfare: Passed 4-2 (one abstention counted as 'no'). - Approval with staff conditions and three additional conditions: Time limit for student use 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM Monday–Friday; no overnight parking in the lot; adult supervision on property whenever a minor is present. Final approval unanimous. - A written decision will be prepared and presented at the May 25, 2023 meeting for final adoption. Public Hearing: Tobacco Shop Class 2 (Saleh) - Applicant: Farouq Saleh applied for a special use permit to operate a tobacco shop class 2 at 250 Easy Street, Suite E, in a heavy commercial (CH) district. The shop would sell smoking apparatus and tobacco products. - Staff Recommendation: Approval with conditions including no hookah café, no LED/flashing signs, window advertisement limited to 25%, no loitering, no smoking on premises, and compliance with all laws. - Board Action: No public opposition. The board approved the permit unanimously with staff conditions. The decision is expected to be signed within a few weeks. Public Hearing: Microdistillery as Accessory Use (Oliverio) - Applicant: Bret Oliverio, owner of SUP Dogs, applied for a special use permit to operate a microdistillery as an accessory use to a bar at 218 East 5th Street in the downtown commercial district. Approximately 32% of the building would be a distillery, the remainder a cocktail bar. - Staff Recommendation: Approval with conditions requiring a compliant floor plan and a microdistillery permit. - Board Action: No opposition. The board approved the permit unanimously with staff conditions. Signing expected within two weeks. Announcements - Staff requested confirmation from board members about attendance at a School of Government training on May 17, 2023, at the Pitt County Ag Center. A group discount is available if at least 10 register by May 5. Key Outcomes - Rizzuti Multi-Purpose Center: Approved with three added conditions (time limit, no overnight parking, adult supervision with minors). Decision final after written order adoption in May. - Saleh Tobacco Shop Class 2: Approved with staff conditions. - Oliverio Microdistillery: Approved with staff conditions. - Meeting adjourned at approximately 10:45 PM.

The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met on April 18, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included a public hearing and votes on multiple zoning text amendments, including changes to bar spacing requirements, allowances for microbreweries and microdistilleries, tobacco shop regulations, and city code amendments related to engineering standards. All items were approved unanimously. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the March 21, 2023 meeting were approved without discussion. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public spoke for or against any of the agenda items. Discussion Items Preliminary Plat – Nexus Harris Mill Run - A request by The East Group, P.A., on behalf of BRC Greenville LLC and PHO Greenville LLC for a preliminary plat for “Nexus Harris Mill Run” on a 33.68-acre lot along B’s Barbeque Road. Staff requested a continuance to the May 16, 2023 meeting. The commission voted unanimously to continue the item. Item 3 – Bar Separation Requirement Amendment - Staff presented a request initiated by the commission to delete the 500-foot separation requirement between bars, except within the “BAR 2022” eligible area in uptown Greenville. The history was summarized: City Council approved the BAR 2022 use in January 2023 with no separation requirements, and asked the commission for additional feedback. At the February 21 meeting, the commission voted to initiate this text amendment. The amendment deletes the bar-to-bar separation in CDF, CG, and CH districts but preserves it elsewhere. A commission member thanked staff for the presentation. A motion to recommend approval passed unanimously. Item 4 – Microbrewery and Microdistillery Zoning Amendment - Staff presented a request to add “microbrewery” and “microdistillery” as special uses in the CDF, CG, and CH districts, and to add “microdistillery” as a permitted use in the Mixed-Use Institutional (MUI) district. This aligns with the districts where bars are allowed. The MUI district was created for the Intersect East project and is currently the only area with that zoning. A commission member asked if bars are permitted in MUI; staff clarified they are not. The amendment also adds microbrewery as a special use in the districts. The commission voted unanimously to approve. Item 5 – Tobacco Shop Separation Amendment - Staff presented a housekeeping amendment to clarify separation requirements between tobacco shop class 1 and class 2. The intent was to prevent a class 1 shop from locating within a half-mile (2,640 feet) of a class 2, but the existing ordinance language allowed it. The amendment removes the phrase “existing or approved” to ensure complete separation. There are currently 27 tobacco shops in the city (class 1 and class 2). A commission member noted two red dots (class 1) close together on the map; staff confirmed no existing shops are in conflict. The recommendation was approved unanimously. Item 6 – Engineering Department Code Amendments - Staff presented a comprehensive set of amendments to various chapters of the City Code to reflect changes in the city’s operating structure and development standards. The amendments were grouped into four sections: (A) creation of the Engineering Department and director; (B) revisions due to updates to the Manual of Standard Designs and Details (MSDD); (C) updates to the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control ordinance to match state model; (D) updated references to governmental agencies and documents. Key changes include: increasing shared duplex driveway maximum width to 26 feet; prohibiting private streets for single-family and two-family attached residential (continuing to allow for multifamily and non-residential); requiring adherence to lighting standards; requiring turnarounds on dead-end streets over 150 feet; requiring sidewalks on all new residential streets; and clarifying drainage responsibilities. The MSDD stakeholder group included developers, engineers, contractors, and city staff. The full ordinance package was approximately 600 pages. A commission member praised the thoroughness and noted the two-and-a-half-year process. The recommendation was approved unanimously. Key Outcomes - Preliminary Plat – Nexus Harris Mill Run: Continued to the May 16, 2023 meeting (unanimous). - Item 3 – Bar Separation Requirement Amendment: Recommended approval (unanimous). - Item 4 – Microbrewery/Microdistillery Zoning Amendment: Recommended approval (unanimous). - Item 5 – Tobacco Shop Separation Amendment: Recommended approval (unanimous). - Item 6 – Engineering Code Amendments: Recommended approval (unanimous). - Adjournment: The meeting adjourned after the votes.

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM on March 21, 2023, in City Hall Council Chambers. Chair Kevin Faison presided. The commission approved minutes, continued a preliminary plat, recommended approval of a rezoning for affordable housing, and discussed zoning amendments for alcohol establishments. Consent Calendar - Approval of Minutes: The minutes from the February 21, 2023 meeting were approved unanimously. - Preliminary Plat – Manning Forest North: The commission voted to continue this item to the April 18, 2023 meeting, as the surveyor had not yet returned the plat for staff review. Public Comments & Testimony - Rezoning Request (Woda Cooper Development): Patrick Olding, representing Woda Cooper Development, spoke in favor of the rezoning from CG (General Commercial) to OR (Office-Residential). He explained that the company is an affordable housing developer with over 30 years of experience, 400 properties, and 16,000 units. The proposed project would use low-income housing tax credits to create multifamily units at 40–60% Area Median Income. No opposition was voiced. Discussion Items - Rezoning (Item 3): Staff presented that the 2.89-acre property is located along West Arlington Boulevard, west of Evans Street. Under current CG zoning, a convenience store could be built; under proposed OR zoning, about 10 multifamily units are possible, resulting in a decrease of approximately 1,800 trips per day. The property is partially in a flood hazard zone. The future land use plan designates high-density residential for this area. Staff recommended approval, finding the request consistent with the Horizons plan. The commission voted to recommend approval. - Microbreweries and Microdistilleries (Item 4): Staff provided a follow-up from the February 21 meeting. The commission had previously voted to delete the 500-foot separation rule between bars. Staff discussed potentially allowing microbreweries and microdistilleries in additional zoning districts. Currently, they are only permitted in CD (Downtown) zoning via special use permit. Staff analyzed the city's four industrial zones (IU, I, PUI, PI) but noted that PI has no existing properties and that applying the 500-foot residential buffer would leave few viable sites. Staff recommended allowing microbreweries and microdistilleries in the commercial districts where bars are already permitted (CD, CDF, CG, CH) while retaining the special use permit requirement. The commission made a motion to allow microbreweries and microdistilleries in CD, CDF, CG, and CH zoning districts. The motion passed unanimously. - Wine/Beer and Keg Store Consolidation: Staff proposed combining the "wine, beer and keg store" and "wine and craft beer shop" uses into a single use called "wine and beer shop." This is a cleanup measure that would not affect existing non-conforming uses. The commission approved the motion to combine and rename the use. - Packaging of Amendments: The commission discussed whether to send the three pending items (bar 500-foot rule deletion, microbrewery/microdistillery amendment, and wine/beer shop consolidation) to City Council as a single package or separately. Concerns were raised about bundling potentially controversial items. The commission voted to have staff present three separate agenda items for the next meeting, allowing independent votes on each. Key Outcomes - Rezoning Approval (Woda Cooper): The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the rezoning from CG to OR for 2.89 acres on West Arlington Boulevard. The recommendation will go to City Council for final decision. - Microbrewery/Microdistillery Zoning: The commission voted to recommend allowing microbreweries and microdistilleries in CD, CDF, CG, and CH zoning districts, subject to special use permit. This will be presented as a separate text amendment. - Wine/Beer Shop Use: The commission voted to combine the two similar uses into one "wine and beer shop" use. This will also be a separate amendment. - Bar 500-Foot Rule Deletion: The commission affirmed its previous vote to delete the 500-foot separation between bars. This item will be brought back as a separate ordinance with final language and a public hearing before being sent to Council. - Next Steps: Staff will prepare three separate staff reports for the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting (expected April 18, 2023) for final votes on the language of each amendment. After commission approval, the items will be forwarded to City Council.

The Greenville Board of Adjustment met on February 23, 2023, at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The board considered continuances, administrative appeals, and special use permits. Key actions included modifying a notice of violation against KLA Holdings, approving a child daycare special use permit, and scheduling a special meeting for April 20, 2023. Consent Calendar - Approval of Agenda: Motion carried unanimously. - Approval of Minutes (January 26, 2023): Motion carried unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony - Rizzuti Continuance: Opponent Ms. Squires stated she was fine with a March continuance but preferred not April; she later agreed to either date. - KLA Holdings Appeal: Extensive testimony from appellant attorney Robert McNeil, owner Leslie Pagliari, city planner Shantae Gooby, city attorney Emmanuel McGurk, and Pitt County Tax Administrator Russell Hill. No other public testimony. - Crystal Smith Application: No opposition; applicant Crystal Smith and assistant Stephanie Williams presented the proposal. - Greenville Prep Academy: No applicant appeared. Discussion Items Item 2: Rizzuti Special Use Permit – Continuance Request The applicants, Richard P. and Meridith Rizzuti, requested a continuance for their special use permit to operate a multi-purpose center at 500 Elizabeth Street, 414 Latham Street, and 702 W. Fifth Street. Staff recommended continuance due to a heavy docket. Opponent Ms. Squires preferred March but accepted April. The board voted to cancel the regular March 23 and April 27 meetings and hold a special meeting on April 20, 2023, exclusively for this case. The continuance was granted. Item 3: KLA Holdings Administrative Appeal KLA Holdings appealed a notice of violation for three ordinance violations after recombining 42 lots into one parcel at 1300 Allen Ridge Road. The appellant argued no physical change, no subdivision, and no permit applications; the city argued conversion to multifamily use required site plan and subdivision approval. After deliberation, the board found an error in the application of Section 9-4-10 (only one principal use on a lot) but upheld violations of Section 9-4-142 (failure to submit development plan) and Section 9-5-6 (lots created contrary to subdivision regulations). A motion to modify the decision by removing the 9-4-10 violation and affirming the other two carried on a 6-1 vote. The board will prepare a written decision by the April 20 special meeting. Item 4: Cannon Administrative Appeal – Withdrawal Edwin Keith and Ashley-Nicole Cannon requested to withdraw their appeal of a notice of violation for sign ordinance infractions at 2306 Charles Boulevard. The board approved the withdrawal unanimously. Item 5: Crystal Smith Special Use Permit – Child Daycare (Drop-in Care) The applicant sought a special use permit to operate a drop-in daycare at 618 East Arlington Boulevard. Staff noted compliance with the Future Land Use Plan and recommended approval with conditions: all activities indoors, compliance with NC General Statutes on child care, and a change of occupancy permit. The board approved the permit unanimously with those conditions. Item 6: Greenville Preparatory Academy Special Use Permit – Continuance The applicant, Greenville Preparatory Academy, did not appear. The board continued the matter to the April 20, 2023 special meeting without objection. Key Outcomes - Rizzuti Item: Continued to April 20, 2023 special meeting. Regular March and April meetings cancelled. - KLA Holdings: Appeal granted in part; violation 9-4-10 reversed, violations 9-4-142 and 9-5-6 affirmed. Written decision to be presented at April 20 meeting. - Cannon Appeal: Withdrawn. - Crystal Smith: Special use permit approved with conditions. - Greenville Prep Academy: Continued to April 20, 2023. - Procedural Votes: Board affirmed proper notice, ordinances in effect, and officer authority for all items.
