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.
Several annexation and rezoning applications were also on the agenda and received unanimous approval from the commission.
William Gray of Gray Development and Construction LLC presented an application for the annexation and rezoning of properties on Green Avenue. The half-acre property near downtown Greenville was approved for rezoning to an RH-D, or House D District.
Application for annexation and rezoning of property at 9 Traction St. near West Greenville was unanimously approved, transitioning from an R-7.5 to RH-D.
Rory Tyler of SP Reedy, LLC’s application for the annexation and rezoning of property along South Pleasantburg Drive was approved to create uniformity on the property located along the Reedy River.
Wesley Taubel’s proposal for annexation and rezoning at 2000 Wade Hampton Blvd. aimed at establishing a new Green Charter school. The commission unanimously supported the rezoning from a C-2 Commercial District and O-D Office District to a CM Campus District.
David Smith and Christina Moir’s application for annexation and rezoning at 109 Stall St. included transitioning the property from an R-6 to RN-A to ensure uniformity with the city’s regulations.
Lindsey Tully’s annexation and rezoning application for property at 15 Traction St. garnered unanimous approval from the commission.
Kevin Scully’s proposal for annexation and rezoning of property along Roper Mountain Road and Independence Boulevard for the establishment of a new religious institution was unanimously approved, transitioning the zoning to CV and RNX-B districts.
David Stone’s application for annexation and rezoning along South Leach Street to bring the property into the city’s fold was also approved unanimously.
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.
