Anderson council refers three zoning and annexation petitions to planning commission
Summary
Council unanimously referred three items — a rezoning to allow a funeral home at 1401 South (transcript lists 'Bent' and 'Vance'), annexation and GC rezoning for 3415 Clemson Boulevard, and rezoning of 1502–1504 East Greenville Street for a car wash — to the planning commission for hearings in early April.
The Anderson City Council unanimously voted on March 23 to refer three planning petitions to the planning commission for public hearings in early April.
Planning and Development Director Maurice McKenzie briefed the council on each request. The first petition asks to rezone 1401 South (the transcript contains alternate references to 'Bent' and 'Vance' Street) and five associated lots from R‑5 single‑family to NC (Neighborhood Commercial) so a funeral‑home use could be reestablished; McKenzie said the parcels total six lots, are under common ownership, and that state of the site as a legal nonconforming use reverted under the city ordinance after the business ceased operation for more than four months. The planning commission is set to hear the referral on April 7.
McKenzie also described a four‑acre parcel at 3415 Clemson Boulevard, long used as an automobile dealership and surrounded by city limits. The applicant seeks annexation and zoning to GC (General Commercial) for redevelopment; McKenzie recommended the referral and said planning will hear it on April 2.
A third petition would rezone 1502 and 1504 East Greenville Street from NC to GC to allow a car wash; McKenzie said both lots are vacant and the request aligns with adjacent commercial uses. That item is scheduled for the April 7 planning commission meeting.
Each item was introduced by McKenzie and referred by council motion for the planning commission to consider and hold public hearings. The council did not take final zoning action; any change would require subsequent planning commission recommendation and a future council vote.
