Here’s a recap of Greer City Council’s Sept. 24 meeting:
Delayed: Development impact fees
Council voted 4-2 to delay final approval of an ordinance imposing development impact fees for two weeks to allow time for more stakeholder feedback.
The measure would affect residential and commercial developments involving new construction or major renovations that would increase demand for public services.
Impact fees are one-time charges assessed at the time of project permitting.
While in favor of the measure, councilman Mark Hopper said delaying final approval of the ordinance would allow stakeholders additional time to assess the proposal.
Council members Jay Arrowood and Wryley Bettis voted against delay while members Karuiam Booker, Hopper, Judy Albert and Mayor Rick Danner approved the delay. Councilman Lee Dumas was absent.
Approved: Rezoning Brockman McClimon, Cannon Street properties
Council unanimously approved first reading of four ordinances rezoning several parcels of property near the intersection of Brockman McClimon and Abner Creek roads from rural residential, RR, to traditional neighborhood, TN.
The parcels total about 20 acres and would be subdivided for a residential development that would involve about 60 townhomes and 60 detached single-family homes.
Council also unanimously approved first reading of an ordinance rezoning a .79-acre parcel at 107 Cannon St. from commercial corridor, CC, to Greer Station, GS.
The property is the location of the former music venue The Spinning Jenny.
During council’s discussion of the measure, the property owner described plans to develop a food hall on the site similar to Vaughn’s Food Hall in Simpsonville.
