A joint Greenville County Council and Planning Commission workshop discussed proposed revisions to the countys cluster-residential (cluster housing) provisions in the Land Development Regulations (Article 24). Staff and commissioners reviewed red-line text, density and open-space tables, definitions (developable/undevelopable, open space vs. common area), and stakeholder feedback submitted after an August stakeholder meeting. Major points: proposed changes to minimum open-space percentages (discussion of 70% vs. 50% and other alternatives), suggested density adjustments for several residential zones (R-6, R-7.5, R-10), disagreement over whether buffers or private waters may count as open space, concerns about the term "navigable body of water," and repeated requests for clearer definitions and a pre-submittal review process and an infrastructure-capacity study. The workshop ended with agreement to schedule a follow-up session and to give staff time to model effects of proposed changes.
