Greer (SC) City Council Meeting, May 26, 2026.

The City of Greer held a regular City Council meeting on May 26, 2026, which included extensive discussions on zoning and development issues, particularly concerning the Blue Ridge Plantation development. Residents expressed concerns about proposed changes to zoning designations, specifically opposition to converting commercial zones to residential use and the impact on neighborhood amenities and traffic. The council reviewed several rezoning requests, including one for office professional use intended for a weapons museum and event space near local schools, which raised concerns among council members and school district representatives. A major agenda item was a proposed amendment to the planned development (PD) zoning for Blue Ridge Plantation, seeking to relocate an amenity center and allow additional residential units in areas originally designated for commercial use. Staff recommended denial of this amendment due to inconsistency with the original mixed-use intent and public opposition. Ultimately, the council voted unanimously to deny the proposed zoning amendment. The meeting also included routine approvals of council minutes, board appointments, and departmental financial reports, but no contract awards or procurement decisions were discussed.
