GREENVILLE —
Local residents will have a chance next week to learn more about the overlay zoning district proposed for the Interstate 30 corridor.
An information meeting is scheduled next for 6 p.m. Thursday, October 25, in the Fletcher Warren Civic Center.
The district was first proposed some eight years ago, was included under the Small Area Plan passed last year and has been the subject of two public hearings and three workshop meetings in the past year.
The new rules under the district would not immediately apply to existing businesses, but would to any future developments which locate along the corridor. The district was included as part of the Small Area Plan which was approved last summer.
The proposed overlay district would be used to establish alternative land development requirements within a specific area, in this case the Interstate 30 corridor, stretching from the western city limits of Greenville eastward to 500 feet past Moulton Street.
The City Council was scheduled to adopt the plan in June, but tabled consideration of the district until after another workshop could be conducted.
The district was first proposed in the 2004 Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously in May to approve recommending establishment of the district to the Council.
The Commission and Council planned in January to conduct public hearings and take votes on the proposal. Instead, the Commission tabled its vote on the issue while the Council proceeded with its public hearing, but also delayed any vote until after the Commission voted whether to recommend the proposal.
