Paris Mountain zoning restrictions updated: Greenville County Council Notes
Here’s a recap of Greenville County Council’s June 3 meeting:
Approved: tightened Paris Mountain zoning restrictions
Council unanimously passed third and final reading of an ordinance tightening restrictions for the Environmentally Sensitive District-Paris Mountain zoning category.
The move strikes a section of the ESD-PM language considered to be a loophole that could allow development on Paris Mountain.
Specifically, the measure would eliminate a section that would allow a property to be developed if such a project could provide vehicular access to the development without using Altamont Road.
Approved: millage increase for Brookfield Special Tax District
Council unanimously approved second reading of an ordinance authorizing a property tax millage increase for the Brookfield Special Tax District to cover increased operational expenses for lighting and other maintenance in the neighborhood.
The proposal increases millage from the current rate of 9.1 mills to 12.5 mills.
The revenue generated by the millage is primarily used for community landscaping and maintenance and for community lighting in the form of 38 street lights.
Third and final reading of the ordinance is expected at council’s June 17 meeting.
Approved: $1.1M general obligation bond request for Glassy Mountain FSA
Council unanimously approved second reading of an ordinance authorizing the Glassy Mountain Fire Service Area to issue up to $1.1 million in general obligation bonds to purchase a new fire truck and other equipment.
The measure further authorizes a 2.3-mill increase in the department’s debt service millage to defray the cost of the bonds.
According to supporting documents supplied by the fire district, each mill of Glassy Mountain FSA’s property tax levy generates $56,294. Operational expenses for the 2025-2026 fiscal year are projected to be $1.8 million and funded through a 27.6-mill levy for operations.
Third and final reading of the bond ordinance is expected at council’s June 17 meeting.
