These changes aim to improve local services and enhance community development. The city is also focusing on preserving historical sites like Green-Stokes Cemetery while planning a comprehensive update for the future. The major redevelopment of County Square is set to transform the area into a vibrant urban hub, reflecting Greenville’s commitment to growth and thoughtful urban planning.
Exciting changes are on the horizon for the lovely city of Greenville, where the Planning Commission has recently moved forward with several significant rezoning applications and redevelopment plans! This news marks a pivotal moment in how the community will grow and evolve in the coming years.
One of the standout points from the recent meeting was the presentation by the commander of the James F. Daniel Jr. American Legion Post 3. The American Legion Building, located at 430 N. Main St., is seeking to make a transformation by changing its zoning from CV (Civic District) to MXS-D (Downtown Shopfront District). The main goal behind this change is to better serve residents as plans are in motion to sell the property and relocate the Legion to a new home.
It’s important to highlight that the city has already greenlit the sale of a nearby property at 426 N. Main St. for a mixed-use development slated to commence in 2024. The Planning Commission unanimously approved this rezoning application, meaning it now heads to the City Council for further consideration.
The Planning Commission also cast a decisive vote to rezone 0.06 acres on Landwood Avenue. This change will convert the area from RN-C (Neighborhood C District) and MX-5 (Mixed Use 5 District) to a uniform MX-5 designation. This rezoning is all about **improvements for hungry customers** at Chick-fil-A, as it paves the way for renovations that will add two new drive-thru lanes and outdoor dining space. This upgrade aims to enhance traffic flow and safety, which has gotten a thumbs-up from local community members who are excited about better traffic circulation between businesses.
In an effort to honor local history, there’s a proposal to amend the zoning at 1 Alameda St. in Nicholtown. This area, which includes the historic Green-Stokes Cemetery, is set to be preserved as PK (Park District). The unanimous approval of this change shows that the community values ongoing beautification and has a strong desire for historical signage in the area.
The Planning Commission also touched on some future planning dialogue as they prepare for an update to the GVL 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This comprehensive update will go through a month-by-month approach over the next year, ensuring that the community can weigh in on important issues as they arise.
On the regional front, the redevelopment of County Square shines as a significant initiative. This area, claiming over 37 acres of county-owned property, is set to undergo what is expected to be a billion-dollar project over the next decade. This redevelopment will transform County Square into a bustling urban hub, with close proximity to popular spots like Falls Park, Fluor Field, and the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
To put things into perspective, notable local developments such as Camperdown, with a price tag of $200 million, and the ONE mixed-use project at $100 million, are just the tip of the iceberg compared to what County Square has in store.
As plans ramp up, city officials are nodding towards the need for thoughtful design to manage increasing traffic density resulting from all the activity. The city is committed to ensuring that the development incorporates vital considerations like parking, green spaces, and waste management. After all, with great growth comes great responsibility!
Residents are undoubtedly keen to witness how these developments will unfold in the coming months and years. With such dynamic changes in the pipeline, Greenville is poised for a bright and vibrant future that caters to the needs of its community!
