City of Anderson - Planning Commission June 2nd, 2026

The City of Anderson Planning Commission held a meeting on June 2, 2026, primarily to discuss a rezoning request (RZ26-3) involving two parcels totaling approximately 39 acres at the corner of Fant and River. The applicant seeks to rezone the parcels from Limited Office (LO) to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to open a bakery, which is not permitted under the current zoning. Staff recommended approval based on the city's comprehensive plan and anticipated Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) changes that would likely reclassify the area as NC in the future. The commission approved the rezoning request, which will next proceed to the city council for readings and final approval. Additionally, the meeting included updates on upcoming UDO workshops and zoning ordinance changes aimed at reducing nonconformities and streamlining development processes.
