Greenville Planning Commission Approves Mosaic Development Street Names
The Greenville Planning Commission recently met to discuss and approve several development projects in the city. One notable approval was for the street names in the Mosaic Townes project, a mixed-use development located in the West End Special Emphasis neighborhood.
The project, situated along South Academy Street, North Calhoun Street, Perry Avenue, and Ware Street, sought approval for two street names. The first proposed street, intersecting Perry Avenue, was named “Motley Way,” while the second street touching Motley Way and North Calhoun Street was named “Mosaic Drive.” The names were approved by a vote of 3-2, with one commissioner seeking clarification on the meaning of “Motley.” The project’s architect explained that it is a synonym for “mosaic,” tying in with the development’s overall theme.
The Mosaic Townes project includes plans for over 200 residential units, commercial and grocery spaces, residential amenities, and below-ground parking. The subdivision, spanning 6.86 acres with 18 lots, was approved along with the street names. Further approvals from the city’s Design Review Board are expected in the fall.
Approved: Annexation and Rezoning Projects
Several annexation and rezoning applications were also on the agenda and received unanimous approval from the commission.

Withdrawn: ‘Baby’ Bi-Lo Rezoning Request
The commission noted the withdrawal of the rezoning request for the “Baby” Bi-Lo development, a mixed-use project planned for the former Bi-Lo location on North Main St. The application aimed to accommodate proposed building heights by switching the zoning to a Mixed Use 5 District but was withdrawn from the agenda prior to the meeting.
These recent approvals and withdrawals mark key developments in Greenville’s urban planning and development landscape, setting the stage for future growth and revitalization in the city. The Greenville Planning Commission continues to play a vital role in shaping the city’s future through thoughtful consideration and decision-making.
