The property is in the eastern part of the city right on the borderline with Simpson. He said the survey measures the property at 8.28957 acres for a total of 4 lots. Mr. Sceviour said the property is not in the flood plain. The preliminary plat was reviewed by staff and meets all technical requirements. Staff recommends approval. Mr. Robinson opened the public hearing. Mr. Ken Malpass spoke in favor of the rezoning. Mr. Robinson closed the public hearing and reminded the commission there will be no vote this evening. Text Amendment: 4. REQUEST BY THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TO AMEND TITLE 9, CHAPTER 4 OF THE CITY CODE TO CREATE A DEFINITION AND STANDARS FOR RESIDENTIAL FENCES. Brad Sceviour explained that staff developed this text amendment for fences. He said that Greenville currently does not have any standards. The goal of this text amendment is to create new standards for fences, protect aesthetics and property values, and to provide staff with tools to deal with nuisance cases. Mr. Sceviour defined a fence as an artificially constructed barrier of wood, masonry, stone, wire, metal, or other manufactured material or combination of materials erected to enclose, screen, or separate areas. He then listed the standards in the text amendment: SEC. 9-4-268 STANDARDS. (M) Fences (1) All fences must be constructed in a workman-like manner of customary or normal fencing material. (2) Fences shall be no greater than 6 feet in height before the front building line and no greater than eight feet in height in the side or rear yard. (3) In residential zoning districts all fences and walls must be of brick, stone, stucco, wrought iron, wood, or other materials similar in appearance and durability, except that chain link or woven wire may be used in the side and rear yard behind the front building line. Barbed wire may be permitted within bona-fide agricultural operations. (4) Silt fences and other similar construction type barriers may be allowed in conjunction with an active building permit, but shall be removed after site stabilization is completed.
4
(5) No fence shall be erected upon any lot or attached to any building or structure, nor shall any existing fence be enlarged, removed, relocated or materially repaired unless a zoning compliance letter, and if applicable building permit, for the same has been issued by the city. The letter shall be on forms supplied by the city and shall contain such information as necessary to ensure that the requirements and conditions of this article can be met. SEC. 12-3-3 NUISANCES PROHIBITED; ENUMERATION. The following enumerated and described conditions are hereby found, deemed and declared to constitute a detriment, danger and hazard to the public health and the public safety of the inhabitants of the city and are found, deemed and declared to be public nuisances wherever the same may exist, and the creation, maintenance or failure to abate any nuisances is hereby declared unlawful: … (M) Any fence or wall, as determined by the Director of Planning and Development Services, which through neglect, lack of repair, type or manner of construction, method of placement or otherwise, becomes undesirable or constitutes a hazard or endangers any person, animal or property. Mr. Sceviour said that with these standards code enforcement will have the tools to address substandard fences. Mr. Collins said the definition of fence could be applied to a wall, and that there should be an addition to the definition of a fence to separate it from a wall. Mr. Thomas asked if this text amendment would apply to all zoning districts. Mr. Sceviour affirmed. Mr. Thomas said there are businesses who need chain link and barbed wire, and how will this be factored in? Mr. Sceviour said that staff can workshop this text amendment to address the issues and bring it back to the commission at their December 15, 2020 meeting. Motion made by Mr. Overton, seconded by Mr. Parker, to table this item until the December 15, 2020 meeting. Motion passed unanimously. Motion made by Mr. Brock, seconded by Mr. West, to recess consideration of the agenda items until November 19, 2020, at 6PM. Motion passed unanimously. Respectfully submitted, Chantae Gooby Chief Planner

Provide connectivity to nearby uses (paths, streets)Locate new buildings near streets on at least one side and accommodateparking to the side or rear of buildingsImprove/provide public realm features such as signs, sidewalks,landscapingReduce access-points into developments for pedestrian and vehicularsafetyReduce and consolidate surface parking
Primary uses:
Item #38
Commercial (small and large format)Office Secondary uses:Institutional/Civic High Density Residential Residential areas composed primarily of multifamily housing in various forms.Defined by existing development patterns where building size and style tend tobe consistent within a development, with large blocks and limited connectivitybetween different building types and uses. Future development should take amore traditional neighborhood pattern where different residential types areconnected in a walkable pattern. High density residential is typically appropriatenear activity centers and corridors. Intent:
Provide better vehicular and pedestrian connectivity betweendevelopmentsImprove architectural variety and site design for new developmentsImprove streetscape features such as consistent sidewalks, lighting andstreet trees
Primary uses:Multifamily residentialTwo-family residentialAttached residential (townhomes) Secondary uses:OfficeSingle-family detached residential (small lot)Institutional/Civic (neighborhood scale) Thoroughfare/Traffic Report Summary (Engineering Department): Based on possible uses permitted by the requested rezoning, the proposedrezoning classification could generate 1,197 trips to and from the site onDickinson Avenue, which is a net increase of 910 additional trips per day.

City of Greenville,North Carolina
Meeting Date: 12/15/2020
Title of Item: Request by the Planning and Development Services Department to amend Title9, Chapter 4 of the City Code to make miscellaneous minor changes to thezoning ordinance.
Explanation: History: Over time certain changes to the zoning ordinance have becomenecessary as matters of housekeeping either due to changes in policy or tocorrect oversights from past amendments. This amendment contains six (6) items. Purpose: Item 1: Add "10 (ll) Grocery Store" to the table of uses as a permitted use “P” inthe following zones: CN, CD, CDF, CG, CH, MCG, MCH. This use wasinadvertently deleted by the publisher when the ordinance was previouslyamended. Item 2: Simplify our residential accessory structure separation regulations. Firecode requires structures to be separated by 5 feet and this amendment will havethe zoning ordinance match fire code. Current code requires 10 feet.
SEC. 9-4100 RESIDENTIAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE ANDBUILDING STANDARDS; EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REGULATEDUNDER ARTICLES H, I, J, K AND M.
(A)(c) Building separation.
1.
