Summary of Proceedings

Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - June 21, 2022

The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met on June 21, 2022 at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. The meeting included the approval of previous minutes, four rezoning requests, and two preliminary plat approvals. All agenda items were approved unanimously.

Consent Calendar

  • Approved the minutes from the May 17, 2022 meeting.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • Rezoning on Staton Road (Item 2): Will Clark spoke in favor of rezoning 15.78 acres from IU (Unoffensive Industry) to I (Industry).
  • Rezoning on L.T. Hardee Road (Item 3): Landon Weaver (Bill Clark Homes) spoke in favor. Four residents spoke in opposition: Dennis Campbell (1511 L.T. Hardy Rd), Harold Wise (235 Leon Dr), Wanda Smith (L.T. Hardy Rd), and Mike Tart (221 Leon Dr). Concerns included increased traffic, dangerous curves, existing infrastructure strain, noise and light pollution, drainage issues, and a desire to preserve neighborhood character.
  • Rezoning on South Square Drive (Item 4) and Fire Tower Commercial Park Phase 3 Plat (Item 5): Mike Baldwin (representing Kotarides and property owners) spoke in favor. No public opposition.
  • Cypress Pointe Cluster Subdivision Plat (Item 6): Landon Weaver and Richie Brown (Stroud Engineering) spoke in favor. No public opposition.

Discussion Items

  1. Rezoning Request by Will Clark (Item 2): Staff reported the 15.78-acre property is in the recommended industrial area with no nearby residential uses. The change from IU to I allows more uses but no anticipated intensity change. The commission approved.
  2. Rezoning Request by Bill Clark Homes (Item 3): Staff noted the 13.84-acre property could yield 165 multifamily units (R6) versus 45 single-family homes (RA20), with an estimated net increase of 722 trips per day. Commissioners discussed cumulative development in the area and infrastructure concerns, but voted to approve, citing compliance with the comprehensive plan.
  3. Rezoning Request by Kotarides Development (Item 4): Staff said the 18.849-acre property rezoned from CG to R6 would decrease traffic volume and could yield 225 multifamily units. The commission approved, noting it provides transitional zoning.
  4. Fire Tower Commercial Park Phase 3 Preliminary Plat (Item 5): Staff presented a plat for 23 commercial lots on 36.161 acres. The original 2004 approval included Faith Lane for connectivity, but it was never built. Mike Baldwin argued that alternative interconnectivity exists via a street stub at South Point. The commission approved the plat as presented.
  5. Cypress Pointe Cluster Subdivision Phases 1-12 Preliminary Plat (Item 6): Staff presented a plan for 304 single-family lots and 8 non-residential lots on 112.53 acres. Features include rear-entry alleys, an amenity center, and detention ponds. Build-out estimated at eight to nine years. The commission approved.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to approve Item 2 (Staton Road rezoning): Passed unanimously.
  • Motion to approve Item 3 (L.T. Hardee Road rezoning): Passed (voice vote, no dissenting votes noted).
  • Motion to approve Item 4 (South Square Drive rezoning): Passed unanimously.
  • Motion to approve Item 5 (Fire Tower Commercial Park Phase 3 preliminary plat): Passed after clarifying it was a separate vote from the rezoning.
  • Motion to approve Item 6 (Cypress Pointe preliminary plat): Passed.
  • All approved items will be forwarded to the August 18, 2022 City Council meeting (Council takes July off).
