The fee-schedule change, listed as Ordinance No. 1, 2025, was presented by staff with no substantive amendments at second and final reading. The ordinance adds impact fees and explicitly adds peddlers to the peddler ID card language and creates a solicitors/canvassers/peddlers permit fee. The measure passed on a roll-call vote: Mr. Booker — Yes; Mr. Hopper — Yes; Mr. Dumas — Yes; Mr. Bettis — Yes; Mayor Danner — Yes.

The council considered Ordinance No. 2, 2025, a rezoning request to change a parcel at 116 Mount Vernon Circle from rural residential to suburban neighborhood, a change the applicant said would allow the lot to be split and a single-family detached home built. During discussion council members raised concerns about the proposed lot configuration, describing it as a shoehorned flag lot that is out of character with the neighborhood and asking whether Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) standards or homeowner association rules would provide safeguards on materials, driveway paving and grading. Staff indicated the request was for a straight suburban neighborhood zone rather than a planned development and that few additional safeguards beyond the zoning district standards would apply. After discussion the council voted: Mr. Booker — No; Mr. Hopper — No; Mr. Dumas — No; Mr. Bettis — Yes; Mayor Danner — Yes. The motion did not receive a majority and the rezoning failed on the recorded vote.

Council then took up Ordinance No. 3, 2025, a request by B. Scott Streetman LLC to rezone property on North Line Street Extension from medium-density residential to commercial corridor. Staff recommended denial; the planning commission had unanimously recommended approval. Council voted to approve the ordinance at second and final reading on a roll-call vote: Mr. Booker — Yes; Mr. Hopper — Yes; Mr. Dumas — Yes; Mr. Bettis — Yes; Mayor Danner — Yes.

The council also voted to hold over consideration of Resolution 3-2025 at the request of the applicant and staff; that procedural motion passed on a unanimous recorded vote.

Votes at a glance (recorded roll call from the transcript):
- Ordinance No. 1, 2025 (amend comprehensive fee schedule: add impact fees; peddler ID card language and solicitors/canvassers/peddlers permit fee): Approved. Booker Yes; Hopper Yes; Dumas Yes; Bettis Yes; Mayor Danner Yes.
- Ordinance No. 2, 2025 (rezoning — 116 Mount Vernon Circle: rural residential → suburban neighborhood): Failed. Booker No; Hopper No; Dumas No; Bettis Yes; Mayor Danner Yes.
- Ordinance No. 3, 2025 (rezoning — North Line Street Extension: medium-density residential → commercial corridor): Approved. Booker Yes; Hopper Yes; Dumas Yes; Bettis Yes; Mayor Danner Yes.
- Resolution 3-2025 (first and final reading held over at applicant/staff request): Motion to hold over passed (recorded unanimous yes).

Council members who spoke during debate asked questions about lot configuration, UDO safeguards, and potential visual impacts of building materials and driveways; staff told the council that the suburban neighborhood zoning request would be governed by standard district regulations rather than a planned development with additional restrictions.

The meeting record shows the planning commission recommended approval of Ordinance No. 3 while staff recommended denial; council action followed the planning commission recommendation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Greer (SC) City Council Meeting: January 28, 2025.","oneSentenceSummary","Greer City Council on Jan. 28, 2025, voted to adopt a change to the city's fee schedule that adds impact fees and new peddler/solicitor permit charges, denied a rezoning for 116 Mount Vernon Circle and approved a rezoning at North Line Street Extension.","taxTitle","Greer, Greenville County, South Carolina","taxId",53277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683241,"Greer schedules Feb. 14 groundbreaking for public safety training facility; South Tiger River Greenway planning continues",32,571000,603000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172885-68588560bb2684d9cf6930aa4f66fd7d&start=571&end=603","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172885-68588560bb2684d9cf6930aa4f66fd7d/thumbnail_571000.jpg","/articles/6683241/Greer/Greenville-County/South-Carolina/Greer-schedules-Feb-14-groundbreaking-for-public-safety-training-facility-South-Tiger-River-Greenway-planning-continues","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683241-db984be1559c9fbdaa27821644ec6c12/orig.mp4?Expires=1776137124&Signature=f8pKrmiYuqJlYAqR~-kqBq2mXz6Wq4uuVsf~mTPAY7jSK0PGW2mzgDrfi~xZcIMvyaimiP8Ix5WL60qsb9Z5lyzPsZ14vUGXcN7wKyCxh6PzKAiC9mzivGliyASZmPAZ5mXWdJVyXPRXOUeQfgzgcipmct27kJ91JOtsHgd8McrgpKQq3aT-z93pHnVkVcOnLRPvkhjkqKymM8tBEDaK4VFr~a1Nx6Cu~6FgiUYRPOPKWhIsGwMTNPFf9b7aJMJ3S5GVaxGywsVbmir0aaU-1wmLuLmNHMtEvo6614A2JU--OI5XkMYM0CdRUh7TcZ-lXEyb9Qm1~jQ8g5P6xcOr~w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Administrator Andy Holzheimer told the Greer City Council on Jan. 28, 2025, that the city will hold a groundbreaking for a public safety training facility on Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. He also said Parks, Recreation and Tourism staff recently held a public meeting about the multi-phase South Tiger River Greenway project and that more information is available on the city's Facebook page.

Holzheimer described the public-safety training facility groundbreaking as a council-scheduled event and asked members to mark their calendars. He also praised the fire department’s role in a regional community risk reduction initiative, calling the department proactive in prevention as well as emergency response.

The administrator noted the chamber-hosted \"State of the City\" panel that will include the mayor, the administrator and Reno Deaton as an opportunity for residents to receive an update on city activities. He closed by reminding citizens to report debris on county or state roads to the appropriate authorities and that the city's public services department can direct callers to state and county contacts when necessary.","City administrator Andy Holzheimer told council the city will hold a groundbreaking Feb. 14 for a public safety training facility and that Parks, Recreation and Tourism staff are advancing a multi-phase South Tiger River Greenway project; the city also highlighted participation in a regional community risk reduction initiative.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683245,"Greer releases December 2024 financial summary; general fund shows $11.0 million cash balance",24,442000,466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172885-68588560bb2684d9cf6930aa4f66fd7d&start=442&end=466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172885-68588560bb2684d9cf6930aa4f66fd7d/thumbnail_442000.jpg","/articles/6683245/Greer/Greenville-County/South-Carolina/Greer-releases-December-2024-financial-summary-general-fund-shows-110-million-cash-balance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683245-25787bddb7b0297eb99896ee9393f26c/orig.mp4?Expires=1776137124&Signature=VJBKU3NVOBv5Tb-EbDsz-~oxltoraK~awM-kmImwtkQGVn8EjAkNhmz572Vp83S1rPAeqU1VCFRlb5Gmyp71vlqYXuvvHrKkrGk5wqJLzub2cpWyNtXBH5Gvoz-i6lRIsScMr2OlI2H5X~YIIYAogdk3RjZNKELoswfAgltULXHxsK~O1hHxKdjJbzo8bF~HL5N989rKDUp0EWyrR2e~avLhY9i6hMrWExf4yp-N83zt9okXAnh90GRM6eCB51wwN7TgkLP2HuJJerKs9d-M84DqeWQA154gVGkNTFTnxwUVOKtB2DaCmP1RUR9HqXqkz6Ccd1IsytKax74tjMp80Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Greer City Council meeting on Jan. 28, 2025, Finance Director Mr. Klein presented the city’s December 2024 financial summary, reporting a general fund cash balance of $11,024,000, year-to-date revenue of $10,219,000 and year-to-date expenditures of $20,750,000.

Klein told the council the city was about 8% under budget overall on expenditures and cited a favorable expenditure benchmark figure of approximately $3,550,000; combining revenue and expenditure benchmarks produced an overall favorable benchmark variance of about $3.8 million. He further reported the hospitality fund had a cash balance of $2,217,000, year-to-date revenue of $1,942,000 and expenditures of $728,000. The stormwater fund showed a cash balance of $2,678,000, year-to-date revenue of $480,000 and year-to-date expenditures of $732,000.

After the presentation council members had a brief exchange seeking clarification on how the $3.8 million benchmark variance was calculated; Klein explained it combined revenue overage and expenditure benchmark figures and how that produced the reported variance. The finance director closed by offering to answer additional questions and remained available to staff and council for follow up.","Finance director reported the city had $11,024,000 in the general fund cash balance for December 2024, year-to-date revenue of $10,219,000, and year-to-date expenditures of $20,750,000; overall the city showed an 8% under-budget figure for expenditures.","actionData","errors"]
