Rezoning

Saint Capital, LLC plans to rezone 3 acres of commercial zoned property to a more inclusive, C4 zoning.

Learn more about the rezoning below.

Rezoning Summary

Rezoning 3 commercial acres from RDV to C-4.

As Downtown Greenville continues to grow and evolve so does the role of development within the City of Greenville. By rezoning the nearly three (3) acres of RDV commercial property to C-4, Saint Capital will be able to use much of the site for additional residential homes for our Greenville’s growing workforce while also creating additional amenities available to the West End and surrounding residents.

The growth of Greenville along Academy Street shows a natural progression of how Greenville wants to grow toward the west and other development nodes in the West End and Village of West Greenville. However, much of the existing zoning around these areas is RDV. A known consequence of RDV is that its restrictions require more commercial use development and hinders additional residential development. These types of restrictions make developing a mixed-use and mixed-income site difficult.

Instead, Saint Capital’s solution is simple, rezone the commercial RDV portion of the site to C-4, reduce the commercial use and instead re-postion it for residential use, and utilize the remaining commercial uses for neighborhood focus initiatives like, a food hall to accommodate the lack of available groceries within the area.

Greenville 2040 - Increase Supply of Affordable Housing

By converting the RDV zoning to C-4 Mosaic is able to keep a similar site plan and rebuilding dimensions but decrease the amount of commercial and retail space used on the site and increase the number of residential units on the site. The increase in residential units is a key component of Mosaic‘s plan to restrict 20-25% of the residential units for affordable housing options

Greenville Housing Fund Strategic Plan

The Greenville Housing Fund’s creation is the result of our City’s acknowledgement that as the City of Greenville grows, so does the need for more affordable housing. While one project can’t solve our City’s affordability issues, Mosaic aims to inspire and illustrate what the hopes of Greenville 2040 can look like. Through it’s public-private partnership Saint Capital and the Greenville Housing Funds intend for Mosaic to be a repeatable model to achieve dream of Greenville 2040 and the Housing Fund’s ambitious plan to cut the City’s affordable housing deficit in half.

Mosaic - Increases in residential uses will increase available affordable units.

In its partnership with the Greenville Housing Fund, Saint Capital intends to preserve 20-25% of the development’s residential homes for City residents whose annual income is 80% of the Area’s Median Income, or less. The change from RDV to C-4 would increase the total number of affordable homes from ten (10) to fifty (50).

Mosaic - Preserves Over 1 Acre of Greenspace

Mosaic intends to preserve nearly an acre of the site for greenspace available to Mosaic residents and the surrounding community. Currently, the development plans for two to three greenspace areas with the possibility of more as the project progresses.

Greenville 2040 - Mixed-Use Districts Along Major Roads

A key component of the project is the separation of the site into a higher density residential/commercial site along Academy St and reducing the residential homes along Perry Ave, Calhoun, and Mosaic Dr. to residential traffic. Unlike many commercial developments in the City, Mosaic is fortunate to have three areas of ingress and egress into the commercial areas of the site while also containing that traffic and funneling it away from the remaining residential townhomes and the surrounding community.

Greenville 2040 - Pedestrian Mobility and Reducing Car Dependence

Mosaic will be a pedestrian friendly site. From Mosaic, its visitors and residents will be able to walk to all commercial and retail areas. Additionally, residents and visitors will be able to safely travel from the site to Greenville’s Main Street, and across Academy and down to Unity Park by way of pedestrian crosswalks.

Mosaic - designed for pedestrian use and walkability.

Benefits of rezoning to c-4

DESCRIBE THE CONDITIONS THAT HAVE CHANGED FROM CONDITIONS PREVAILING AT THE TIME THAT THE ORIGINAL DESIGNATION WAS ADOPTED

Downtown Greenville continues to extend, and the proposed rezoning from RDV will encompass the goal of preserving downtown Greenville as the City’s center. This proposed rezoning falls in line with accommodating a unique, high intensity mix of residential, commercial, and retail uses. The growth of Greenville along Academy shows a natural progression of how Greenville wants to grow towards the west and other development nodes in the West End and Village of West Greenville.

DESCRIBE THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT ADDRESSES A DEMONSTRATED COMMUNITY NEED

There is a significant need for affordable housing options, especially within walking distance to downtown and Unity Park. The proposed zoning would allow for more affordable housing and also create neighborhood retail and commercial that would allow for more walkability and job creation. There is a definite need for a mix of residential, commercial, and retail in this growing area of Greenville, and this proposed zoning would allow for a greater flexibility of use to contain more structure in a higher density area.

DESCRIBE THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL NOT RESULT IN UNDESIRABLE STRIP OR RIBBON COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

The proposed zoning will allow for a mixed-use of commercial, retail, and residential (including affordable housing). The zoning would allow for larger and more urban type structures along a major corridor, while having less density and more traditional neighborhood forms and residential uses and the project moves more into the existing neighborhood fabric.

DESCRIBE THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS ON THE PROPERTY VALUES OF SURROUNDING LANDS

The proposed zoning would allow for the creation of a mixed-use development that would feature neighborhood retail and commercial spaces. The project would also improve the walkability of sidewalks along public streets and within the site that would make the neighborhood safer, more walkable, and sustainable. All these design features would create a value-add to the existing neighborhood by strengthening community bonds, providing safer access to public transportation and Unity Park, and providing access to neighborhood retail/commercial services.

DESCRIBE THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT WILL NOT RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND ITS ECOLOGY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: WATER; AIR; NOISE; STORMWATER MANAGEMENT; WILDLIFE; VEGETATION; AND, WETLANDS

The proposed zoning would allow for more usable greenspace and walkability. These areas would be heavily planted and landscaped to create a new tree canopy that would serve the neighborhood for many years to come. The current condition of the site consists of either low density housing, a large overgrown bamboo forest that harbors pests, rodents and encampments and a large vacant commercial building. The proposed zoning would allow for a project that would redevelop the parcels landscape and create both passive and active open space areas that would promote safer walkability and access to Unity Park and the neighborhood retail and commercial uses. The project would comply with city standards for tree care/removal and stormwater management.
