Greenville — The City Council on Oct. 24 approved Ordinance No. 23-06, amending Section 46-41(c) of the Greenville Zoning Ordinance to remove the requirement that the Planning Commission hold a "public information meeting" as part of a site plan review.
Council considered and acted on a recommendation from the Planning Commission, and Councilperson Lehman moved to adopt the ordinance, with Councilperson Barrus seconding. The ordinance includes a provision that it be published in the Daily News within 10 days of adoption and that it become effective 15 days after adoption provided it has been published.
City officials did not record public comment during the hearing on this amendment; Mayor Jeff Scoby opened and closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. after no one spoke. The council vote was unanimous: Ayes — Lehman, Scoby, Cunliffe, Johnson, Linton, Barrus and Moss; 0 Nays.
Supporters on the record framed the measure as an implementation of the Planning Commission's recommendation; the transcript does not record further debate or stated findings beyond the planning body's recommendation and the ordinance's publication/effective-date language.
The ordinance text directs publication and sets the effective date conditions. The council did not attach conditions or amendments to the adoption during the Oct. 24 meeting. The city clerk will publish the ordinance and its effective date will follow the publication schedule set out in the ordinance.
