Greenville County Council adopts two rezoning ordinances, directs study of land-development concurrency and approves audits RFP
Summary
At its regular meeting the council adopted two rezoning ordinances at third reading, directed staff to study a land-development concurrency requirement, approved a performance-audit RFP for the sheriff and EMS, and advanced two economic-development agreements at first reading.
Greenville County Council on Tuesday approved two zoning ordinances at third reading, asked staff to study a land-development concurrency requirement and voted to approve an oversight RFP to audit the sheriff’s office and EMS.
Councilor Bradley moved the resolution directing county staff and the planning commission to study a land-development concurrency requirement, which passed by voice vote. Bradley then presented two rezoning ordinances at third reading: CZ 2026-00001 (506 and 508 South Bulan Road and 1710 Hoodwalk Road), requesting rezoning from S1 to I1, and CZ 2026-00004 (2706 White Horse Road), requesting rezoning from C2 to I1. Both ordinances were adopted by voice vote.
On CZ 2026-00003 (333 Gibson Drive, RS to R15), the planning commission and the committee recommended denial; Councilor Bradley moved denial but also asked council to put the item on hold to resolve a timing and easement matter with Greenville Technical College. Council voted to hold that item for further work.
Councilor Collins presented two economic-development ordinances for first reading. The first would authorize a multicounty industrial and business park agreement (Hunter Industrial Park) between Lawrence County and Greenville County under section 4-1-170 of the South Carolina Code of Laws of 1976; the second would authorize a fee-in-lieu-of-tax agreement with United Composite Materials LLC and Hancock Composits US Inc. (referred to in the meeting as Project Pioneer). Both items were presented for first reading and will return to the council floor for later consideration.
Separately, Councilor Long updated members on an RFP produced by the oversight ad hoc committee to commission performance audits of the sheriff’s office and EMS to identify efficiencies and potential savings. Long moved to approve the RFP; the motion carried by voice vote.
What happened next: the council received committee reports, heard a series of public comments on topics including sanctions in pending litigation, housing and transit, and then adjourned. Items kept on the council floor and first readings will return for further committee review and future votes.
