Staff (Speaker 9) said the amendment adds a mobile food unit definition and places the use as conditional in several districts, with conditions that include removal of units nightly (except for multi-day special events), a 400-square-foot tent limit without temporary tent permits, property-owner permission for on-site operation, compliance with Greenville County noise and sign ordinances, trash removal requirements, and a requirement that any generator be located at least 50 feet from residential parcels. The measure also requires business registration and up-to-date fire inspections.

JJ Arrowood, fire marshal for the Berea Fire Department, told the committee the rules grew out of safety inspections and incidents. \"Mobile food units have become increasingly popular, adding vibrance to my community,\" he said, and described inspections that led to temporary closures of noncompliant units and cited past incidents including attempted vandalism and collisions that damaged vehicles and nearby utility infrastructure. Arrowood said consistent safety standards and inspections would protect vendors and the public.

Committee members asked whether the ordinance imposes a new fee; staff and the fire marshal said there is no separate county inspection fee for the fire-sticker program (the Greenville County Fire Chiefs Association funds and distributes stickers and inspections are renewed annually). Members also discussed whether setbacks should be expressly stated; staff explained that setbacks typically apply to permanent structures and that the conditions address obstructions, parking, and buffer concerns instead.

The committee voted to approve the text amendment. The ordinance language will be placed on the County Council agenda for final consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Greenville County Planning and Development Aug.18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee approved a text amendment defining mobile food units and setting conditional-use requirements (nightly removal, tent and generator limits, property-owner permission, fire inspections).

The committee approved CZ2025-045 (10 East Main St., Taylors) to OD (office district) after staff said the change matched the county comprehensive plan’s mixed-use corridor designation. The committee denied CZ2025-046 (125 Terry Rd., Fountain Inn) and CZ2025-047 (2056 Highway 418 / Burgess School Road), where staff and commissioners cited conflicts with the comprehensive plan, recent citizen-led initial zoning, and infrastructure limits such as absence of sewer. Docket CZ2025-048 (145 Chapman Grove Rd., Pelzer) was approved to AG (agricultural preservation) to allow agritourism and a farm stand; staff confirmed existing agricultural activity on site.

Two commercial rezoning requests faced split recommendations: CZ2025-051 (Highway 14 area) produced a staff/commission split and the committee held that docket for further review; CZ2025-052 (Conestee/Third St. area) was denied following the planning commission’s recommendation. Docket CZ2025-050 (Agnew Rd./Richards Ave., Greenville) seeking R-6 single-family designation was approved.

On text amendments, the committee approved CZ2025-053 (revisions to the Paris Mountain ESDPM section) as amended and denied an alternate version, CZ2025-044; the committee’s action sends the amended text to full council. The committee also approved an amendment extending a septic-related sunset provision (Ordinance 5577) by two years and voted to hold a proposed cluster-zoning amendment pending additional legal review.

What happens next: items approved as ordinances or text amendments will appear on the full County Council agenda for further action; dockets held by the committee will return for additional staff analysis or P&D review.","At its Aug. 18 meeting the Planning & Development Committee approved multiple rezoning requests and text amendments (including a revised Paris Mountain amendment sent to full council), denied several dockets and held others for further review; a mobile food unit zoning text amendment was approved.","actionData","errors"]
