Greenville council unanimously approves three annexations for storage, housing lots and auto‑repair site
Summary
The Greenville City Council on March 12 approved three ordinances to annex properties for a self‑storage development, a small single‑family subdivision and an automobile‑repair site; each measure passed 5‑0 after brief presentations by city staff and applicants.
The Greenville City Council voted unanimously March 12 to annex three parcels into the city, clearing the way for a 25,000‑square‑foot self‑storage facility, a 5–10 lot single‑family subdivision and a small automobile‑repair site.
City Planner Chris Kelly presented the first ordinance for Gateway West LLC, a 2.952‑acre parcel at the northwest corner of Stantonburg Road and Gateway Drive. Kelly said the parcel is in the Greens Mill Run watershed, lies inside the city’s primary service area (City Council District 1) and, if stormwater rules apply, would require 25‑year detention. He said the site is “anticipated to yield 25,000 square ft of self‑storage space with an estimated tax value of $2 million.” Council Member Robinson moved to approve the annexation ordinance; Council Member Scully seconded and the measure passed 5‑0.
The council then approved an ordinance to annex a 3.6‑acre Hannifford Family Farm parcel along the eastern right‑of‑way of Dickson Avenue Extension, east of Danzy Road. Kelly said the site is in the Greensville Run watershed, in the city’s primary service area (District 2), and is anticipated to yield “5 to 10 single family lots” with an estimated tax value of $1.8 million. Brett Hannifford, speaking for his family, said the annexation is being requested to clean up estate boundaries and to allow future subdivision; the council approved the annexation 5‑0 (motion by Council Member Scully, second by Council Member Robinson).
The final annexation was for MCV Fire Tower LLC, a 0.839‑acre parcel on the south side of East Fire Tower Road roughly 300 feet southwest of Charles Boulevard. Kelly said the property sits in the Fork Swamp watershed in the primary service area (District 4) and is expected to yield about 7,000 square feet of automobile‑repair space. The transcript contains an unclear readout of the estimated tax value; the council approved the annexation unanimously (motion by Council Member Willis, second by Council Member Scully).
All three parcels are in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ); Kelly noted that, under section six of the GUC charter, sanitary sewer may still be provided to developments in the ETJ even if annexation is denied. The council took no votes in opposition and recorded no amendments to the annexation ordinances.
What’s next: With annexation ordinances adopted, applicants may proceed with final plats and permitting processes required for subdivision or site development. The council did not record any conditions or limits on the annexations during the meeting.
Votes at a glance: Gateway West LLC annexation — motion carried 5‑0 (Robinson/Scully); Hannifford Family Farm annexation — motion carried 5‑0 (Scully/Robinson); MCV Fire Tower LLC annexation — motion carried 5‑0 (Willis/Scully).
