The city of Greenville has compiled a new set of revisions for its development code.
Adopted in June 2023, the code serves as a tool to regulate development within the city limits. The city’s planning and development staff recently completed an 18-month review of the code.

The public is invited to review and provide feedback on the proposed changes to the code during two drop-in style meetings. The meetings will be held at the Prisma Health Welcome Center in Unity Park from 8 a.m. to noon on:
- Friday, Jan. 3
- Monday, Jan. 6
One of the proposed changes is to reduce the code’s change of use standards. These standards apply when a new type of business such as a nail salon intends to open in a building previously used as office space.
Since the building’s use is changing, the new business would be required by the code to complete improvements to the site. The proposed revisions would create reduced standards for some situations when the change in use of the building is considered to be equal to or of a lesser intensity.
Other revisions from the 18-month review include a reduction of the waiting period to demolish a historic structure, changes to the code’s permitted use table and more. The city’s Planning Commission will review the proposed regulations on Jan. 7 before they are presented to the Greenville City Council for final approval at a later date.
