Planning & Zoning Commission 7.21.26

The City of Greenville Planning and Zoning Commission held a meeting on July 21, 2026, where several zoning and regulatory matters were discussed. Key procurement-related topics included a rezoning request by POBOL LLC for industrial and office conservation overlay uses on a property near Old Creek Road and Tram Lane, which staff recommended for approval as compliant with the future land use plan. Additionally, the commission reviewed a proposed amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance to regulate short-term rental uses, requiring zoning compliance permits and liability insurance, aiming to address neighborhood impacts and ensure responsible hosting. Another significant discussion involved clarifying security personnel requirements for alcohol establishments with amplified entertainment after 11 p.m., mandating a minimum of two certified security personnel based on occupancy, a measure intended to enhance public safety but recognized as potentially burdensome for small businesses. The commission approved the zoning and short-term rental amendments and recommended approval of the security personnel amendment with a note to city council to consider the economic impact on small businesses.
