Council schedules public hearing on rezoning request for 2021 13th Street
Summary
Following a planning commission recommendation, the council set a public hearing in roughly 30 days on a request to rezone 2021 13th Street from urban residential to limited industrial commercial to allow parking for an adjacent rehabilitated storage barn.
Greenville City Council set a public hearing to consider a zoning amendment request for 2021 13th Street after the Planning & Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval.
A representative read a letter from Jeff Whitaker, chairman of the planning and zoning commission, reporting that the commission heard the applicant’s request on Nov. 18 and voted to recommend rezoning the vacant lot from UR (urban residential) to LIC (limited industrial commercial) so it can be used as parking for an adjacent restored 'gray barn' that the applicant hopes to use more fully.
Transcript passages show inconsistent spelling of the applicant’s name (the petition is read alternately as "Shawn Haye's" and as "Sean Hayes" in the meeting packet language read aloud). The council directed that the city must set the public hearing within the 30-day window required by the zoning code; the clerk and council identified the next meeting dates and confirmed the public hearing timing will meet that requirement.
Council members described the lot as previously vacant and said the rezoning would make the lot and barn operate as a single parcel, allowing parking that is currently insufficient for the barn’s use. The planning documentation and minutes from the Nov. 18 meeting were attached to the application, the reading stated.
Next steps: the public hearing will be scheduled within the required 30-day notice period; interested residents and property owners may attend the hearing and provide comment. The exact hearing date will be published by the clerk’s office.
