Greenville council adopts ordinance amending North Lafayette zoning map

At its Nov. 15, 2022 meeting, the Greenville City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 22-09 to amend the city’s Official Zoning Map for multiple parcels along North Lafayette Street.

Councilperson Moss moved to approve the ordinance, which implements the Planning Commission’s recommendation to rezone specific parcels to include them in or remove them from the North Lafayette Zoning District (NLZD) and to rezone a portion of 1003 N. Lafayette St. to C-2. Councilperson Cunliffe seconded the motion, which passed 7–0.

Mayor Mark Lehman opened a public hearing on the zoning amendment at 7:34 p.m. and closed it the same minute after receiving no public comment. The ordinance lists the affected parcels and parcel IDs, including 620 N Lafayette St. (052-235-024-50), 909 N Lafayette St. (052-340-024-00), 906 N Lafayette St. (052-569-002-00), two parts of 1003 N Lafayette St. (052-700-010-00 and 052-700-016-00), 423 N Lafayette St. (052-705-001-10), and 421 N Lafayette St. (052-705-001-50).

Section 2 of the ordinance requires publication in the Daily News, a newspaper of general circulation in the city, within 10 days of adoption; the ordinance will become effective 15 days after adoption provided it has been published.

The council recorded the adoption as part of its regular meeting business and did not receive public testimony during the hearing. The ordinance implements map changes recommended by the Planning Commission and alters the boundaries and zoning designations for the listed parcels.
