Here’s a preview the city of Greenville Planning Commission meeting on Jan. 7.
Laurens Road development modification
McMillan Pazdan Smith will bring an application for a planned development modification at 1200 Laurens Road. According to the application, the site will be altered to a mixed-use development known as The Alliance Project made up entirely of affordable housing for those earning at or below 70% of the area median income. The affordability will average 60% AMI for 30 years.
Currently, the site is home to the Laurens Road Church of God.
The site is 3.6 acres and plans call for two four-story, multi-family buildings totalling 100 residential units.
The application states that Building A includes 18,000 square feet per floor. The ground floor includes 4,200 square feet of commercial space and 5,100 square feet for amenities and a leasing office, with the rest of the building for residential. Building B, will total 16,500 square feet on each floor and will be entirely residential.
Pine Street development
The commission will be asked to approve rezoning of 0.115 acres at 101 Pine St. near Unity Park from an RH-D, House D District, to RN-A, Neighborhood A District. The application was submitted by local nonprofit Beyond Housing SC.
The application overviews a plan for senior housing that aligns with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. As a result, monthly rent would not exceed 30% of a resident’s total income.
