Greenville council approves rezoning of 7.23-acre parcel on North Greenville West Drive
Summary
After a public hearing with mixed public comment, the Greenville City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 26-02 to rezone a 7.23-acre parcel on North Greenville West Drive from R-1 single-family to R-2 single- and two-family residential, citing a Williams & Works staff report and consistency with the Master Plan.
The Greenville City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 26-02 on May 5, 2026, rezoning a 7.23-acre property on North Greenville West Drive (Parcel No. 052-694-511-00) from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-2 Single and Two Family Residential.
Councilperson James Moss moved to adopt the ordinance, citing the findings and recommendations in the Williams & Works staff report dated April 28, 2026; Councilperson Barrus seconded and the motion was unanimously adopted. Mayor Jeff Scoby opened a public hearing on the proposal at 7:25 p.m. and closed it at 7:32 p.m.
During the public hearing, nearby residents expressed a range of concerns and preferences. Trisha Kohn said she was worried about how the woods behind her property would be impacted if the parcel is redeveloped. Rod Wiebenga said he feared the rezoning could reduce his property value. Constance Teddy raised privacy concerns and said the city needs modestly priced housing. Ray Winnie urged attention to affordable housing needs in the city. Jeff Hines urged the council to prioritize rezoning vacant parcels over converting new properties.
Council discussion referenced the Williams & Works staff analysis and the City’s Master Plan as the basis for the decision. The ordinance text and staff report were incorporated into the record by reference during the motion to adopt. The ordinance as adopted did not include an effective date in the meeting record; the council did not state a sunset or reversion provision during the adoption.
Next steps: the ordinance was adopted by unanimous vote; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes. Any questions about implementation timing or permit applications for development on the parcel were not specified in the minutes.
