Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting - January 17, 2023
The Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission met on January 17, 2023 at 6:00 PM in City Hall Council Chambers. Chair Kevin Faison called the meeting to order, followed by an invocation by Billy Parker and roll call confirming a quorum. The primary agenda item was a request by Sridev Investments, LLC to amend the Future Land Use and Character Map for a 1.539-acre property at the southeastern corner of West Arlington Boulevard and Dickinson Avenue Extension, changing the designation from Residential High Density (HDR) to Commercial (C). The commission also approved the minutes from the December 20, 2022 meeting with corrections.
Consent Calendar
- Approval of Minutes (December 20, 2022): Two corrections were made regarding votes on a 2000-square-foot item: the third motion was made by Max Joyner and seconded by Hunter Payton (not by Mr. West), and the vote tallies for both the approval and denial motions were adjusted to reflect the correct members. The minutes were approved as amended by a unanimous vote.
Public Comments & Testimony
- Steve Spruell, surveyor for the project, spoke in favor of the land use map amendment, stating the corner location is not suitable for high density residential and that the owner believes the change will help develop the site. No speakers opposed the request.
Discussion Items
- Request by Sridev Investments, LLC to amend the Future Land Use and Character Map: Staff presented that the 1.539-acre property is currently zoned OR (two lots) and RA20 (one lot) and is identified as HDR on the map. The requested commercial designation could support a convenience store with gasoline sales, generating approximately 1,000 additional daily trips on both Arlington Boulevard and Dickinson Avenue, requiring a traffic impact analysis at development time. Staff recommended approval, citing the sustainable development principle (guiding principle #8) and the transitional nature from commercial at the hard corner to existing office and assisted living uses. Chair Kevin Faison recused himself due to a conflict of interest (the owner being a client of his firm).
Key Outcomes
- Motion to approve the land use map amendment: Made and seconded. Commission voted unanimously in favor (Ayes: all present; Noes: none). The amendment will be forwarded to the City Council for final action.
- Meeting adjourned following the vote.

You all have been presented in advance with the minutes from the December 20th, 2022 meeting, and have had an opportunity to read and review the minutes. Are there any questions or corrections? Have a correction to advance. Okay. Uh so it's pretty long minutes, but I noticed something. In uh item eight, which is bar 2022, uh, towards the end of it. So this is on page what is this, page 13. Well, it says 13 and 14 on the document. Remember, there were three motions that failed before there was a successful motion. So the third motion that's on here is listed as being made by Mr. West, seconded by Mr. West, and voting in opposition West. Uh he's a pretty busy guy, but I don't need to get all that. I since the two people who voted in favor are Hunter Payton and Max Joyner, I imagine one of them moved it and the other seconded. Can you remember if you move this is the third one? Yeah, I made the motion. I made the motion, he seconded. Okay. So I think that's Max Joiner made the motion. That's wrong. Yes, approval. Yeah. So the approval, I think I second it, and then Chris and we're all the ones that voted in favor of the two thousand.
