# City Council Formal Meeting | September 28, 2026

The City Council of Greenville, South Carolina, held a formal meeting on September 28, 2026, focusing extensively on proposed amendments to the city's development code, particularly concerning infill lot width standards in residential zoning districts RHA, RHB, and RHC. The council discussed the potential impact of these amendments on housing density, neighborhood character, and affordability, with public speakers expressing concerns about the effects on attainable housing and neighborhood safety. The Planning Commission had unanimously recommended the amendments, which would limit new subdivisions to lot widths relative to surrounding parcels to protect neighborhood character. Council members debated the balance between managing growth, preserving neighborhood character, and promoting affordable housing. Ultimately, the council approved the 36-month code update excluding the infill lot width amendments, which were voted down separately, signaling a need for further study and refinement. Additionally, the council approved several annexations, budget ordinances including the FY 2027 operating budget for the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center, and a resolution for a municipal state highway agreement for a bridge replacement project. The meeting also included discussions on election ordinance amendments and recognition of staff efforts in ongoing code updates.
