Greenwood council approves ordinances to allow duplexes in IP and OP zoning districts
Summary
On second reading the Greenwood City Council unanimously approved Ordinances 25-003 and 25-004 to add duplexes as a permitted use in Institutional Professional (IP) and Office Professional (OP) zoning districts near Lander University and adjacent areas.
The Greenwood City Council unanimously approved two related zoning amendments on second reading, allowing duplexes as a permitted use in Institutional Professional and Office Professional zoning districts.
City staff explained the change is intended to provide property owners more flexibility without increasing density. The council approved Ordinance 25-003 (amending the IP district) and Ordinance 25-004 (amending the OP district) after no members of the public spoke for or against either item.
Planning staff noted IP and OP zoning districts in Greenwood are concentrated around Lander University and nearby areas. The amendments add “duplex” to the zoning-district use chart (Table 3-1) and to the applicable additional-use lists for chapters referenced in the ordinances.
Council members moved and seconded the motions and then voted. For Ordinance 25-003 the motion was made by Mister Dean and seconded by Mister Miller; the ordinance passed unanimously. For Ordinance 25-004 the motion was made by Miss Huddl and seconded by Mister Dean; that ordinance also passed unanimously.
The council took no public comment on either ordinance during the hearing; both items were on second reading and then adopted. The changes will be codified by updating the relevant sections of the Greenwood zoning ordinance as identified in the motions.
The ordinances were presented as a paired set and the council handled them together. No amendments or conditions were added during the council discussion.
