Greenville Planning Commission Notes

Mosaic Development Street Names Approved

Greenville, SC – August 2, 2024

Approved: Street names for Mosaic Townes

The city of Greenville Planning Commission recently held a meeting on Aug. 1, where several important decisions were made regarding upcoming development projects in the area. One of the notable approvals was for the street names in the Mosaic Townes project.

The Mosaic Townes project is a mixed-use development set to be constructed along South Academy Street, North Calhoun Street, Perry Avenue, and Ware Street in the West End Special Emphasis neighborhood. The developers sought approval for two street names – “Motley Way” and “Mosaic Drive.”

During the meeting, a commissioner inquired about the meaning of the word “Motley.” The project’s architect clarified that it is a synonym for “mosaic,” tying it back to the overall theme of the development. After deliberation, the commission approved both street names with a vote of 3-2.

Approved: Annexation, rezoning at Green Avenue

Another significant approval was for the annexation and rezoning of properties located at 821, 823, and 825 Green Ave., just off Anderson Road southwest of downtown Greenville. The properties, owned by William Gray of Gray Development and Construction LLC, were approved for rezoning from an R-7.5 Single-Family Residential District to RH-D, or House D District.

Approved: Annexation, rezoning at 9 Traction St.

Main St. in Greenville required a rezoning from Mixed Use 2 and Mixed Use 3 District to a Mixed Use 5 District, but the application was withdrawn just before the meeting.
