Land policy updates for the Cities of Greenville & Spartanburg
Greenville Development Code
Planning commissioners will hear public comments and continue deliberating the city's 3/15 draft Greenville Development Code at 4:00 pm on Monday, May 15 during a Special Called Meeting at the Prisma Health Welcome Center at Unity Park (111 Welborn St).
Click here to learn more about the city's development code process and to see the Learning Lab schedule for residents. Remember, the new code will help achieve the priority goals laid out in GVL2040 — the city's comprehensive plan — for open space, affordable housing, and transportation/mobility.
Spartanburg Comprehensive Plan
Spartanburg City Council voted 6-0 on April 10 to table the final draft of the comprehensive plan, Plan Spartanburg, for 30 days to make revisions.
While they revise, you can brush up on some topics that may be addressed through an updated zoning ordinance (in accordance with the comprehensive plan) such as preserving open space, permitting accessory dwelling units (ADU's), and increasing opportunities for missing middle housing. You can also read about the principles of smart growth, a strategy to strengthen local economies, promote land and resource conservation, and improve quality of life.
