Greenwood planning commission elects officers, approves Pleasant Run primary plat and multiple waivers; extends two apartment approvals to 2026

The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission on Jan. 14, 2025, elected officers, granted two site-plan/plat extensions for apartment projects to Dec. 31, 2026, approved the Pleasant Run Business Park primary plat (PC 2024-066) after a public hearing, and granted four landscape-waiver requests for a long-standing recreation business. All recorded motions passed unanimously by voice or show-of-hands.

Why it matters: The actions clear procedural and technical steps that allow development to proceed in Greenwood — from extending active apartment approvals through 2026 to moving a new commercial subdivision through the primary-plat stage — while the waivers allow an existing business to expand without reconfiguring established site landscaping.

Elections and routine business The commission opened the meeting with its annual officer election. Planning Commissioner John Shell was nominated and approved as president; Planning Commissioner Josh King was elected vice president. The commission also approved minutes for Dec. 9, 2024, and ratified the Nov. 25, 2024 minutes.

Extensions for apartment site plan and final plat Commissioners approved a continuance for PC 2022-015, the MHE Apartments commercial site plan, extending approval and its two technical-review conditions to Dec. 31, 2026. The commission also approved C2022-082, the MHG Apartments final plat change, and likewise extended its staff-condition-based approvals to Dec. 31, 2026. Planning staff confirmed both items retain two technical review conditions that must be satisfied before final permits proceed.
