Planning Commission Oct. 28, 2026

The Greenville County Planning Commission meeting, identified in the transcript as the October 28, 2026 meeting, focused on rezoning, development plans, variances, transportation, and planning policies. The commission recommended approval of several rezonings, including a services-district rezoning for a proposed data center on Wade Hampton Boulevard and a 71.51-acre mixed-use plan by Toll Brothers for up to 18,500 square feet of commercial space and 99 homes. The mixed-use recommendation included conditions addressing traffic improvements, buffers, sidewalks, and emergency access. Other cases included recommendations to deny rezonings for residential development on industrial-designated land and agricultural tourism; the Dublin Road case also drew additional opposition emails. No contract awards, vendor selections, or spending approvals were identified.

The commission discussed the ongoing comprehensive-plan update and a forthcoming bid; members were asked to keep draft estimates confidential, and the work is being coordinated with the next budget cycle. No bid amount or vendor was stated. Members also requested tracking both proposed and accepted subdivision road mileage because of future county maintenance costs. The commission approved the 2027 project-preview meeting calendar and unanimously approved an unpaved-drive variance; it denied a request to reconsider a previously decided variance. Discussion of revisions to the project-preview policy and possible expansion of preview meetings was deferred for further work, with a potential Land Development Regulations amendment to follow.
