The Planning and Development Committee voted to approve a rezoning at a 15.06-acre site on Gunter Road (CZ-2025-062) during its Oct. 6, 2025 meeting. Planning staff and the Greenville County Planning Commission recommended approval.
Planning staff said the parcel, approximately 0.61 miles southeast of the intersection of Gunter Road and Garrison Road, is currently zoned RR1 (Rural Residential) and is vacant. The applicant, Edward and Sheila Lawless, requested rezoning to AG (Agricultural Preservation District) with an applicant-stated use of leased garden beds. Staff advised that a rezoning to AG would be consistent with the Greenville County comprehensive plan’s rural living designation and the South Greenville area plan’s rural preservation designation.
A motion for approval was moved and the committee approved the rezoning; the transcript records members saying “Aye.” The transcript does not identify the motion mover by name.
Staff presentation: planning staff displayed site maps and surrounding zoning and recommended approval based on plan consistency.
Outcome: CZ-2025-062 approved.
