SR Mulch seeks I-1 rezoning for Greer recycling site; no opposition at hearing
Summary
Applicant Greg Ashmore told Greenville County officials he is seeking to rezone 6.18 acres in Greer (506–508 S. Buncombe Rd and 1710 Hood Rd) from S-1 to I-1 to operate a green-waste recycling/processing center; staff confirmed the hearing is informational and no members of the public registered opposition for this docket.
Greenville County planners heard an informational presentation on rezoning docket CZ-2026-001, in which applicant Greg Ashmore of SR Mulch and Grinding Inc. asked the county to change zoning for a 6.18-acre site in Greer from S‑1 (services) to I‑1 (industrial) to operate a recycling processing center.
Ashmore said the property at 506 and 508 South Buncombe Road and 1710 Hood Road contains an office and vacant commercial space and that rezoning would align the parcel with his main yard, which is already zoned I‑1. "We are trying to get our other acreage zoned the same for trying to be proactive in future needs," Ashmore said, adding the use would help keep yard material out of landfills and illegal-dumping locations.
Staff described the docket and reiterated the public-hearing procedure: the meeting is informational, comment at tonight's session will be considered by the Planning Commission and the Planning & Development Committee, and any rezoning requires three council readings. No one signed up to speak in opposition to this application at the hearing.
Because no votes were taken, the request will proceed through the county's scheduled review process. The Planning Commission's recommendation and comments from tonight's hearing will be considered by the Planning & Development Committee before council readings.
The council has scheduled subsequent readings as part of the normal rezoning process; no timetable for final action on CZ-2026-001 was set at the hearing.
