Planning & Zoning Commission 6.16.26

The City of Greenville, NC Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on zoning and land use requests. Key procurement-related discussions involved two rezoning proposals. The first was a request to rezone a 2.43-acre property from high-density residential to general commercial, which staff recommended denying due to inconsistency with the comprehensive plan and concerns about increased traffic and neighborhood impact. The commission voted to recommend denial. The second, more extensive request involved rezoning 17.23 acres for expansion of Sawyer's Fun Park to include a 28-bay technology-enhanced driving range, two 18-hole miniature golf courses, and a restaurant with specified hours. This conditional rezoning would require annexation into the city and included operational restrictions to mitigate neighborhood impact. Despite support from the applicant and some community members citing economic and recreational benefits, staff recommended denial based on incompatibility with the future land use plan and neighborhood concerns. After extensive public testimony both in favor and opposition, the commission voted to recommend denial of this rezoning request as well. No contract awards or direct procurement actions were taken, but the discussions and decisions on zoning and land use will influence future development and procurement opportunities in Greenville.
