At its March 10 meeting the Gaffney Planning Commission approved minutes and unanimously approved rezones for an urgent-care site and one Limestone University property; the Nextrise assisted-living rezoning also passed with one commissioner opposed.
The Gaffney Planning Commission recorded three rezoning decisions and approval of prior meeting minutes during its March 10 session.
Minutes: Donald Logan moved to accept the minutes of Jan. 13, 2026; Pattie McCraw seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Southbound Development Group: The commission approved a rezoning request for 1363 W. Floyd Baker Blvd. (TM# 080-00-00-137.002) from Planned Development District (PDD) to General Commercial (GC) to allow a standalone urgent-care clinic. Mike Brubree, the applicant’s representative, said the existing building would be torn down and replaced with a one-story facility. Staff noted recorded PDD restrictions could not be found. The motion to approve, moved by Donald Logan and seconded by Amareia Dawkins, carried unanimously.
Limestone University: The commission approved rezoning TM# 100-00-00-002.005 (115 Escambia Ave.) from College Educational (CE) to Medium Density Single-Family Residential (R-12). John Wall said the request covers the corner house and would allow the city to collect tax revenue while keeping the main campus contiguous. Commissioner Pattie McCraw moved, Donald Logan seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Nextrise Group: The commission also approved the rezoning of TM# 08100-00-036.000 on West Buford Street from R-12 to RM to allow an assisted-living campus; the motion was carried with one commissioner opposed.
No financial incentives, tax abatements or specific permit approvals were granted at the meeting; the rezoning decisions change zoning classifications only and further permitting will be required before construction.
