GREER PLANNING COMMISSION 5/18/26

The City of Greer Planning Commission held a meeting on May 18, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and annexation requests related to property development. Key procurement-related discussions included the annexation and rezoning of parcels on East Gap Creek Road to office professional zoning for a museum and caretaker's cottage, both approved by the commission. Another significant agenda item was a major revision request for the Blue Ridge Plantation development, seeking to allow residential development in a planned district originally intended for mixed-use, including commercial space. Staff recommended denial of this revision due to concerns that the proposed changes could eliminate guaranteed commercial development, potentially impacting the mixed-use character of the project. Public comments highlighted resident concerns about insufficient amenities, particularly the lack of promised pools and recreational facilities, and the absence of commercial development. The commission discussed the implications of the zoning changes, amenity triggers, and infrastructure challenges but no final vote on the major revision was recorded in the transcript. Motions to approve other zoning and annexation requests were passed unanimously.
