Here’s a recap of Greer City Council’s meeting Feb. 9:
Approved: Definition of resident for city-owned cemeteries
City Council voted to approve that citizens purchasing plots in a city-owned cemetery will only receive the residential rate if they live in the city of Greer. Previously, a resident was not clearly defined as someone who resided in the city limits.

City Council approved the owner’s request to rezone 3700 Brushy Creek Road from commercial use to multifamily residential use.
Approved: Two rezoning requests to allow for townhome developments
City Council approved the following rezoning requests on first reading:
- Rezoning a parcel on Ford Street from multifamily residential use to design review district for a future townhome development to allow for the possible development of up to 25 single-family attached lots ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. The proposed units will be three stories high with a single-car garage on the ground level along with a driveway.
