Greene County holds public hearing on zoning amendments focused on events, daycare and new urbanized PUD
Summary
At a Planning & Zoning public hearing, staff presented proposed zoning ordinance changes to permit for‑profit day care in CPUD districts, tighten special‑events rules, and create an urbanized PUD for the Greater Greensboro character area; board members asked technical questions and no ordinance vote took place.
Staff opened a public hearing on Oct. 7 to summarize proposed amendments to Greene County’s zoning ordinance that would revise CPUD permitted uses, tighten rules for special events and create an urbanized plan unit development (UPUD) for the Greater Greensboro character area. The presentation also included housekeeping edits to PUD language, removal of religious institutions and hotels from conditional‑use lists, and changes to home‑occupation provisions.
The staff member said the UPUD would apply only within the Greater Greensboro character area delineated in the county comprehensive plan and described density limits being proposed. "The total number of residents in the UPUD ... shall not exceed 4 dwelling units per acre in the total individually zoned UPUD district," the staff member said, and referred to an earlier 09/18/2021 provision that limits land devoted to residential use to 8 units per acre in related ordinance language. Board members pressed staff on whether roads would count in the acreage calculation and on how conditional nonresidential uses would be applied.
No members of the public addressed the board during the comment period and the board closed public comment. The meeting concluded without a vote on the zoning amendments; a motion to adjourn was made and carried by voice vote. The board did not adopt, amend, or take formal action on the proposed ordinance at this session; staff presented the draft and answered technical questions.
