Greer Planning Commission: August 18, 2026

The City of Greer Planning Commission held a meeting on August 18, 2026, where they reviewed several zoning and development requests. Key procurement-related discussions included the annexation and zoning of a 1.5-acre parcel on Highway 101 South for a future Citizens Bank branch, which was approved unanimously. Another significant item was a major revision to the Blaze Ridge subdivision's conceptual site plan, converting eight townhome lots to five single-family detached homes to better align with market demand and facilitate project completion; this revision was also approved with community input emphasizing maintenance and development standards. Additionally, the commission considered rezoning a 28-acre parcel on Gross Meadow Road from planned development to office professional to build a new fire station. Public concerns about noise, light pollution, and stormwater runoff were addressed, with assurances about buffer zones and stormwater management plans. This rezoning was approved and will proceed to the City Council for final decision. Staff also provided updates on various ongoing site development projects, including commercial and residential developments, hospital expansion, and infrastructure improvements. The meeting emphasized alignment with the comprehensive plan and proactive enforcement of development standards.
