GREER PLANNING COMMISSION 6/16/25

The City of Greer Planning Commission held a meeting on June 16, 2025, primarily focused on zoning requests and amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Key procurement-related discussions included rezoning requests for residential and commercial parcels to accommodate new housing plans and manufacturing/logistics uses. The commission approved rezoning from rural residential to suburban neighborhood to allow a specific house plan and discussed rezoning commercial corridor parcels to manufacturing and logistics for a laydown yard. The meeting also covered proposed amendments to the UDO, including clarifications on special exceptions criteria, planning commission review timelines, sidewalk width standards, parking lot landscaping requirements, and traffic impact analysis enforcement. These amendments aim to improve clarity, enforceability, and consistency in development standards, which could influence future development projects and associated procurement activities. The commission voted to approve the rezoning requests and discussed next steps for public advertisement and further review. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the policy changes discussed may impact future procurement and development processes in the city.
