Greenville council approves multiple rezoning requests, denies conditional‑use permit for retail move
Summary
Council voted on four public‑hearing land‑use items: it approved a rezoning to SF‑3 at 1402 Commerce Drive, set zoning for annexed land as light industrial, approved mixed commercial zoning at Monty Stratton Parkway, and denied a conditional‑use permit for a retail relocation.
Greenville City Council on April 8 voted on four public hearings covering zoning and land‑use changes, approving three and denying one.
The council approved a rezoning request for property at 1402 Commerce Drive from Agriculture to Single‑Family 3. The developer, represented by Darryl Tucker and civil engineer Naveen Kamampadi, told council the subdivision will have roughly 60 lots, about three‑quarters of an acre of open space and a neighborhood park; Kamampadi said proposed homes would start around 1,500 square feet and “the price point should be starting around $300,000 per unit.” Planning and Zoning recommended approval 6‑3; council approved the rezoning 5‑1.
In a separate item the council assigned light industrial zoning to a recently annexed parcel on Walter Graddy Drive. Mallory Muse of Winstead PC appeared for the applicant, Chelsea Building Incorporated; Planning and Zoning had recommended unanimous approval and council approved the rezoning 6‑0.
Council also approved a multi‑parcel request at 8080 Monty Stratton Parkway to rezone portions to commercial and neighborhood services to allow development that includes conditioned multi‑story storage and neighborhood‑serving uses along I‑30. Developer Holland Harper described plans for 30,000–40,000 square feet of conditioned storage in the rear parcel and said the frontage could host childcare or similar neighborhood services. Planning and Zoning recommended approval 8‑1; council approved the rezoning 5‑1 with one abstention. Staff noted neighbors had submitted at least one letter of opposition and that aesthetics and buffering would be reviewed during site plan approval.
Finally, the council denied a conditional‑use permit requested by a retail business to relocate to 5019 Wesley Street; the Planning and Zoning Commission had denied the permit 8‑1 and council denied it 6‑0.
City staff and applicants answered questions about traffic, connectivity and compatibility with surrounding single‑family neighborhoods. Staff clarified that some adjacent areas remain SF‑2 and that the proposed SF‑3 designation follows the city’s future land‑use plan; opposition at public hearings centered on traffic and visual impact. Council recorded the votes and moved the items forward according to staff recommendations.
