In accordance with act 1976 agend city hall the notification of this meeting has been given to the First we got agenda motion by further discussion regarding the motion to approve. All in favor of approval of the consent agenda this evening is uh recognize Chief Owen. He's going to be presenting the officer of the year award. And I know you got a lot of officers out there. So if y'all want to fill in somewhere so y'all can see, please come on in.

4:06 – 6:030

Well, I was in such a good mood. Mr. Mayor from from yesterday and our big win. So been a great 24 hours. Love it. Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen, council may thank for the opportunity to be here tonight. It's always a privilege to be able to speak in front of council but I had the privilege to speak at many different events between chiefs associations from justice academy along with international and other places that that I've had the privilege of going to but nothing is more special to me than speaking about this officer of the year. The author of the year award recognized a sworn green whiskey police officer who has personally demonstrated during the previous year a distinct pattern of professionalism, dedication to duty, community service, valor, innovation and manner from other dedicated law enforcement professions in South Carolina. The author of the year is voted on by members of the Greenwood City Police Department command staff made up of range of lieutenants and above. a criter of the year or her father. Professionalism, community service, valor regardless of the danger, dedication to innovation. This is not an easy decision as we've had several incidents over the past year where officers have displayed extreme dedication to the job to the citizens who serve. We had an officer step in to save another offer from being struck by a hammer. We had an officer run to burn residence to rescue an elderly person from a houseire. On several occasions, officers had dealt with individual extreme severe mental health crisis and were able to bring those in to a peaceful resolution. We had officers mentioned and perform CPR. These acts of the courage, compassion, special display by the office of this department. It is my honor and my pleasure to award the 2025 25 green police officer of the year to

6:01 – 6:370

detective Andrew Rainbow who is supervised by Major Blake stock. Detective Rainbow's dedication will commit to serving this community representing the very best police department. We are proud to recognize him. We're all smiling.

6:470

Ramos might have had a prepared statement. Yeah,

6:560

he's gone.

7:03 – 7:400

Yeah, how many languages? West Point. Uh, and he means he's very serious. Takes his job very seriously. We're lucky to have him. If you see him out there, congratulate him. We'll try to bring him back in. Can you bring Can you bring him back in? Can we Can we bring those back?

7:42 – 8:380

We just wanted Is there anything you wanted to say? Thank you very much. We have several public hearings this evening. Um the first is going to be to consider ordinance number 26- 003 which amends our zoning maping approximately 77 acres of land located at 1201 East Cambridge from R4 to GC.

8:360

Do we have anyone? We do. Mr. Russian is here.

8:40 – 9:300

Um you can come on up Rob. Um and um so just again this property has um historically operated as a commercial use but it is zoned R4. Um the applicant wants the zoning to follow the actual use of the property. Um if you'll recall at your December 15th council meeting, you guys remanded this back to planning commission for consideration of a lesser zoning, namely neighborhood commercial. You wanted that to be considered. However, the applicant um wants to stick with the general commercial request and so planning commission has recommended approval of this by 90 vote. The first time they recommended approval by 60 and the second time by 90. I'm going to flip the slides and if you all have any questions, Rob and I can tag those.

9:27 – 10:070

Thank you. I know anything. I do know that previous discussions have been about the square footage of building and that it is is per the zoning ordinance too large to operate as neighborhood commercial. Um and so I believe that's why at the time the staff supported the general commercial reasoning the planning staff future land use is commercial. I apologize right there.

10:08 – 10:460

All right, Rob, anything you want to add? I think of course we've got a public hearing tonight, but was there any opposition at level? No, no one spoke in favor of the planning commission according to the information that I Okay, there you go. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, Rob. Yeah,

10:42 – 12:350

hang tight. Since this is the public hearing, is there anyone that wishes to speak in favor of ordinance 26- development based in West, South Carolina contract purchase in for our company. Our company focuses on industrial and retail value here. All that we do is try to be good neighbors members of whatever community we're invested in consider all circumstances good neighbors there in the neighborhood concerned about potential abuse and I wanted to again before the council anybody who might be here wondering what our plans are our plans are to keep the building in the current status that it is combination of office and a warehouse. Um our when we first looked at investing in this this opportunity we looked at currently it's a very high quality office in the front of the building and the warehouse that I think really tastes that we can make to the landscaping. We also plan to put a tenant in the building to be able to use as an office and as a warehouse. We have no interest in converting it to

12:37 – 14:360

think where the location is high traffic city contractor such as an HVAC or electrician or somebody like that landscaper landscape. spoken several people suppliers may do some light warehousing parts um with restaurants and things like that. We have no intention of having it directed consumer alcohol sales of any sort as well as um we are retail and industrial landlords and um we consider ourselves value add. We don't do value track value add. Our point is to to build something that invest in opportunities that create value because we look at longterm benefit long-term value increase in it would be counterintuitive for us to go into a market and do something like that because that attracts value. We're a business like consider responsible business add aesthetically pleasing buildings. Right now it's just fence there with a warehouse that has a bunch of doors that people could easily see what's going in and out. a little bit in my view potentially. There's a lot of potential for improvement. Our goal would be to do that. So that's our that's what we're here to do. Happy to hopefully alleviate any concerns from community.

14:38 – 16:360

Is this building appropriate for what we're planning to do? commercial. Not only is the building not set up for commercial use, it also would restrict the uh our ability to list it out to be the most fitting of that like an contractor, a general contractor, someone like us warehouse as well. So that's the reason we would like to keep the general commercial because commercial really restricts our ability to see project appropriate for the building as it is right now that building has been there many many years operated this commercial building for many many years and I was here we went investment our strategy from the very beginning was to appropriately resend the property we don't want to buy things that are nonforming something into what to be a longterm use for the property. That's that's why we we decided to make this step as a part of our contract process to go to where um that there's probably several other things I could add but I think it's still question I know last time we were here you mentioned the possibility concerns Since you don't currently own the property, yeah, I don't want to tell you what to do, but it may make sense to do that. current owner do that alleviate the concern that's certainly something that consider what chooses to do that

16:40 – 16:560

as I think it's previously the proximity to this next certain uses anyway direct sales my understanding is not to be allowed to get into the school.

17:05 – 19:020

Restriction in my view like I said when I was here before started I do agree that is the best way to conrict forever with the land. could be a concern. I'm certainly open to that. Something we were open to considering else I represent the ownership. I'm currently thank you for the opportunity to be able to speak with you all this evening. Um again, segreg want see this see this progress forward. We appreciate the time and care that the planning commission and city council have given to this request and we want to be very clear that our goal is alignment and long-term stability not change. This property is operated as a commercial site since 1958 that use responsible and accepted for decades. While paper has noted that although I believe it has the actual use of the property multiple generations of surrounding development. We believe this request is about general

19:03 – 21:010

function how the building was designed and how the surrounding corridor has developed over time. Physically, the property sits on the highway with a medium, an arterial roadway intended to support higher traffic volumes. The building itself includes office space about 4,000 square ft of office space as well as 6,000 square ft of warehouse space with roll out doors which is not typically compatible with limited neighborhood scale commercial uses um neighbor excuse me we see established commercial development including large retailers like Walmart for example stations and other businesses that collectively this corridor as nature At the same time, we recognize and respect this property borders neighborhood of the school. For decades, the property has received alongside those neighbors without general commercial does not remove safeguards. It still requires oversight permitting and comp. It simply provides the flexibility to ensure future are appropriate for both the site and the community. perspective. Appropriate zoning is essential for long-term viability. Maintaining that equity reflects the property reduces uncertainty, prevents vacancies, and supports continued maintenance and invest. We had some issues with um we had some issues with people using the property sheltering in on the property and by moving forward um that would help restrict that type of activity. A well occupied well maintained commercial property is far better for a

20:59 – 22:570

neighborhood than one constrained by limitations that don't match reality. Ultimately our request is about consistency, clarity and stewardship. General zoning allows this property to remain positive part of the community just as it has for more than while giving the city the tools to guide us responsibility. Thank you for your consideration and for working with us. Is there anyone else wish? Is there anyone that wish in opposition to ordinance number 26 at the Thomas the first time meeting state. information. My concerns like mind about blind work.

23:00 – 25:000

pleased to see what it's doing and what we'd like to see. My problem is not my concern much contract. My my concern is is the future and commercial And what happens with change of hands go and as far as our neighborhood that is my personal that entail what businesses could come in. So that is our concern is what's next to become what happens to the communityffective So that is our zoneffected future. I'm also concerned There are a lot of concerns. We have

25:36 – 27:260

I know the really community out here. It sounds to me and I I don't know exactly procedurally how would go about doing it, but it sounds to me like the potential purchaser and the seller are in agreement with a big restriction that would appease any concerns that y'all have. I may be wrong, but that that's what I'm gathering here. Um again, I don't know how much we can make contingent on that de restriction tonight. Um and it it may involve I don't want to take this down the road in the first to the sellers and potential purchasers and homeowners, but it may be something that sellers just get the restriction in and then we approve it at that point. And Can we make it in any way? Yeah, I don't think city I agree with the attorney. I don't think city council can make it contingent upon any type of deed restriction, but if that's the direction that they're going, you could postpone it and let them talk with the neighborhood. It would be up to council, but obviously you're just approving the zoning. Is there anyone else wish ordinance number 263

27:40 – 29:340

and I live in Our neighborhood is a quiet residential community. Yes, there's not affect business ownership. would likely increase traffic that would be bad for resc directly transform. I respectfully request that the council of the latest impacted resure that the business.

29:37 – 31:340

My third question is if our neighborhood was originally designated as rescue Is there anyone else that wishes to speak in opposition or name? They turn over two table when he takes over when something like that. She had a little shot that wasn't on that was fine. They kept the door open TV shows up in there. They be down there drinking. I start building drinking, you know. No respect for our naked she got enough going on, you know. I respect no

31:32 – 33:310

problem. You know, we need something. That's my opinion. That's big concern. Don't you going to let somebody come in? They going to come in and do whatever they want to do. That's my That's my opinion. Anyone else wish to speak in opposition to order I know there's some others out there show hands if you're in agreement with Reverend Thompson for Mr. I make a motion Mr. Mayor for ordinance number 26-7 amendment 03 I'm sorry looking down um start over I make a motion or number 26-3 amending the city of Greenwood official zoning map ordinance number 04-02 by 0.7 acres at 121 against commercial we're doing. Correct. I make a recommendation that this be postponed.

33:31 – 33:560

How long would you like to postpone? Um I would like to say at least 30 days. They want to postpone it to the next meeting. Correct. That will give them time. Give them time to talk with contractor. We're already talking to a motion by Edward.

34:01 – 34:330

I just have a question about that. That's not the role of the council. staff. So that coordination has to happen between the community and the developer and make sure that's clear that there's not going to be a role in those communications. Make sure that's clear and how y'all communicate is on y'all's terms. So that beer

34:31 – 36:250

I think yeah I was going to clarify it so appreciate that but I think the developer and the seller need to just get together with someone from the and you guys can meet outside of the city wouldn't have play. Um, and we would just our expectation would be that on our meeting on April 20th that y'all would have all that ironed out. Sounds like y'all have contact information. If you don't, I would encourage y'all. I would just say anybody that's here for this item after council votes you guys can go out my hallway and exchange contact information if you don't want to um any further discussion regarding the motion all in favor of a motion to postpone orders from 26 years until April I'll go ahead and give a minute if anyone wants to leave. If not, we'll move to the next item because I know this next one's on Cambridge, too. If anybody wants to I just need home.

36:56 – 37:210

Hey, Miss B. You had it. Oh, hold on. Hold on. While we're on the record, let the record former council had ample opportunity to You must lock it down. He's coming back.

37:22 – 39:200

All right. Under public hearings, item number two is to consider ordinance number 26-007, which amends our zoning map by resoning approximately four acres of land at 235 East Cambridge from R4 to R7. So the applicant here is requesting to reszone this U property um in order to convert convert it to a duplex. He cannot do that as is currently zoned in R4. I do want to point out this property came to our attention after a local resident was concerned about work being performed without permits being pulled. The porch was being demolished. So staff went out to investigate and um at that time a softwork order was issued. The owner contacted our office which got us to where we are um today. Um historically the property has been multif family is what the historically we've been um told with up to four units. However, it's been vacant for some time. Um, so in order to do anything other than single family in R4, he would have to request this reszoning to R seven. Um, this is some photos of the property. I like how that mattress is out there. Um, the future land use map shows this has medium density residential. Um, planning staff recommended approval and planning commission recommended approval by a vote of 8 to two. Uh, there were two that opposed to this. I wasn't there, but I think so, but I wasn't there. I really want to change

39:22 – 41:180

everything on that side of the road. R4 land use that match. So you do have a 26 property was historically underg Greenwood looking at Greenwood County. This can be identified as a multi property revitalized building itself at the front of the building on this side where there's a second staircase. members are to keep it classified as a single family.

41:24 – 43:210

Excuse me. I request which approaching this all set would only allow us to conform. Right. restore historic underlex. make sure that the last thing I'd like to point out just about every second to across this house. Thank you. Appreciate

43:19 – 45:130

Is there anyone else that wish to speak in favor of or number 26? Is there anyone that wishes to speak in opposition to currently work for that. I spent two years working in the planning department. It's been a while, but I know From what I remember, the area around East County department. That's part of the conversation. email.

45:22 – 47:160

No interior renovations will be typically request in that area to the building first. legally. Something we have to do including the board of our system. We've done the commission. There were some arguments that I thought duplex is not single family homes. All seven does not argue for the

47:27 – 48:180

One of the hardest things. property. So all in all, I don't think after recommendation.

48:27 – 50:270

Thank you. Appreciate Is there anyone else that wish orders number 26? East Cambridge. This property lies in the old exist one parcel. It is whether This council has adopted remaining development pressure. Historic overlays are not symbolic. They are safe to resist to resist properties within the overlay simply because the overlay ceases to function. The very purpose of I watched the last meeting and I heard the planning director argue system. However, zoning law clearly distinguishes between nonconforming or grandf interlex

50:24 – 52:200

does not justify or certain sensitive zones use. The planning director also cited that Electric leaders are administrative artifacts, not land use. Many historic decades for borders offices or safety utilities can change overnight. Utilities use it also concern expressed without the resculation. already preservation succeeds in apartments across the street that exactly why matter resing of the elderly. One exception that's wish All right.

52:21 – 53:290

Motion to send this request back to the B for review. So people considering approximately four acres of land located I got a as far as the

53:24 – 53:390

we got we got to fix the character also be part of this process. So, um, if I could just

53:36 – 55:350

Okay. Um, I did spend some time looking into this today and, um, Mr. Skinner's right. The the it did not go to the bar. Our ordinance says that interchange zoning map or the zoning ordinance relative to an overlay has to go through the first. So, a very important step. I don't know why he didn't go to the I don't know reason that Um to me I think the V is a place to go or dictates and then I think once or unfortunately your It sounds like my other question. I'll be perfectly honest with you. I did not I was not able to really dive into that particular saw. Um, but it does say that to be single family basically what it says. Um, but you also have our 10 overlay seven which does allow for multiple units. So I I would really have

55:330

to like dive into that a little bit. I mean I think based on what I read

56:03 – 57:010

it's very unusual. always remember a single time that we deal with pressure that's what they're fantastic at and I'm not Yeah, I think I think it and there may be a step in there for the BA and we'll look into that tomorrow. Rob and I will get together on it and we'll kind of vet it out. But I think just based on the way our ordinance we should have gone for consideration.

56:56 – 57:420

And just one thing we the county is partnered with the consultant in our fin department works about 20 hours a week an expert in the field. They'll be tasked with it being tedific. Are we going to have

57:44 – 59:360

I'm talking about something that automatically triggers. Can we make sure that we have that process? from standpoint. I know I know you're you're doing a great job here right now going forward. It's it's also what we've engaged the consultant for is that their expertise is standard operating procedures, forms, processes, that sort of thing. So that this stuff doesn't get discussions. you don't know. Yeah, we're about to take a vote, but I would send number 267 back to the board of architecture. There is no further discussion. All in favor of a motion to send back

59:48 – 1:01:370

a zoning map. acres of land located at 425 Northwest. Um this is the legal property that regional recently bought. They are requesting to add it to the existing community. Uh they want to put up a digital change sign. Um do that. commercial developments for district or Is there anyone? It is something that very much. You can advertise messages about our services. There was an error in the original application for the size of the stand.

1:01:49 – 1:03:370

I understand y'all are also agreeable to potentially allowing some public notices. community related positone. wish to speak in opposition or All in favor of the 26 items. The first one being consider ordinance number 26-009. This is a res.45 acres of land located at 1900 East Cambridge Avenue.

1:03:47 – 1:05:410

is requesting reselling this section here like I mentioned for Indiana. Um so that um so the property to the right to the right to the left is Larie in the middle in order to include it in Um, and I know last time you guys asked about whether or not the developer will continue to maybe I don't know the answer to that. Rob may know. Um, but I will say that planning staff recommended approval and planning recommended approval. Yes, there's some questions about how much of the display would actually be usable against the flood type. There is some small parts of it that I believe would be lethal. Although the conceptual plan that they gave us did not show them using those parts. Um they didn't say one way or another and I'm not aware of those things whether or not. I would say that few people that did speak in opposition to this. Um there was some concern about some grave sites on the property that I think was later confusion as to the location of it. Um and There's no place about the development of wanting development. I believe

1:05:42 – 1:07:380

that the people that owns themselves couple months ago. And so I know last time you already latest fits the R3 building to be approved by R3 and then in the other sections they wanted to cluster in the other areas. This would also be included in the calculation for the entire even if retention pond or any runoff that's in that area that would be calcul They would ask for the reasoning and I'm not sure if they would have to split it or not, but

1:07:48 – 1:08:270

So we are already white to make it match. No discussion at that time. I'm just saying that's there was a there was a conceptual development that was shown on one of the photos at that only included.

1:08:28 – 1:08:460

I don't remember what I remember saying that this is what they wanted to do. something to the effect that was no longer going to be used for that purpose and they wanted

1:09:03 – 1:11:000

I haven't been involved in that discussion so I'm not sure I would not be afraid of that because there's too much development going on over a two lane road that already has new development up the street and I got new developments coming back and I don't see the purpose another development in that area because you got four to five different neighborhoods that are already there. All I would say that under the artery designation now they could develop that something there's a lot more I'm just writing. I would say it is in the flood plan. There are allable uses of flood plan. It doesn't completely eliminate all

1:11:11 – 1:11:550

Actually, the parcel's too big for that. I don't know. Correct. Correct. Although again a lot of it's in the flow plan of what could be

1:11:55 – 1:12:520

it could be that it could be something that you could build within. There are certain users that can be built. It is fairly restrictive. that it was actually resus which property was returned to discussion that the grapple the same parcel Where did that end up.

1:13:17 – 1:15:170

Yeah. I think there's a little chunk of something called respons. I didn't know Are you here? Motion by Mr. discussion I hear this area already

1:15:18 – 1:17:160

before us which is certainly cross don't result in large amount I think it's unlikely based on the size and shape the size of it was proper size and shape that would lead to more traffic than being any further discussion. All right. All in favor of the motion to deny that motion. New business item number two last time. We do a recitation of all of our city codes every 10 to 15 years. It's usually just dependent on how often um we adopt ordinances that change our laws. Um so we've been working on this since 2023. into a long process. We had a lot of department involved ordinances that impacted them specifically in their department. We also had city attorneys and judge Miller. So essentially what

1:17:14 – 1:18:170

we're asking to do right now is to approve the recalcances. Once it's passing, everything will be updated. The great thing about this particular recalification is that it zoning ordinance whereas previous manually updated by staff whenever done each other Most appeal relationship of the matter. Any further discuss?

1:18:32 – 1:20:070

I was going to make a motion that It was a tremendous amount. A lot item number three is considered resolution number 26 which recogniz All right, we hear a motion to approve status. by further discuss. New business item number four is to They're authorizing the city manager to enter into contract for design services for the city of Greenwood operations.

1:20:45 – 1:22:430

So the first part of this concept like and take it to 30% contract as we move forward with the design. Get a better construction number about 700,000 total. Typically, you're going to see design fees are about 10% of your construction cost. So, if you design a $7 million facility, probably a good estimate about 700,000 in design fees. If you build a $15 million facility, it's going to be 1.5 million in design. We just don't have that number yet because we need to get to the 30% mark, get this construction manager on board, and then we'll be able to come back in and ask you for the rest of the design fees. I think the important a couple couple key things to note here. One is that this money is going to have to come from the general fund reserves. We don't we don't have a million dollars around the time. We know that we have the $7 million in CPS funds which I believe are going to be available in 2028. We really can't wait that long, I don't think, to make the improvements that we need to make to the to the shop. So, um we're going to have borrow money. And once we get to a point where we know how much it's going to cost to build, then that's the point where we'll come back to council and say, "Okay, we designed this this facility. We put it out to this. It's going to be $10 million, and this is how we're proposing that in finance." Um, knowing that that money will come back from CPS at some point. Um, also want to remind you guys that

1:22:42 – 1:23:250

y'all passed the reimbursement resolution back in October. So, if you choose to in the future, you can reimburse yourselves for But right now, we're gonna have to pull in from general fund. So, right now, what we're asking you guys to do tonight is just to authorize the note up to 200,000 so we can get started with the design. We're going to come back to you after the 30% design is complete. We're going to be asking you for some more money and we're going to show you what the conceptual design looks like and at that point we will request a budget amendment. elaborate on the engineer. I'll let her do it.

1:23:26 – 1:24:460

They lay out where the buildings are, where the rooms are, things like that. Make sure what they're designing code. Take a survey. Their this contract includes up to three conceptual designs. So, we will bring it back to council and say everybody in agreement with this concept like where we're headed before we ask for authoriz All right.

1:25:00 – 1:25:450

So, just I'll just use an an example. Let's just say that we have to float a bond to to build this. You could you could fold in the design work into the bond and reimburse what you took out of the general fund reserves. You don't have to. You may get to the point where you guys say we're comfortable to to not reimburse that because obviously it's going to impact your financing structure. Um, you know, we wanted y'all to know that wasn't an option. As we when we get to the point where we're going to talk about how to finance this construction, but we kind of

1:25:43 – 1:27:070

I think it depends on who you ask. Um, and I think we have to be careful to design what we need, not necessarily everything we want. Um, we have asked them to design it at 7 million because we know that's what we have coming from CPSG. I personally think it's probably going to land somewhere in the 10 million range. We'll see. Becca would tell you that she feels like it's going to be higher than that. Um, but I do think it's important to note that we can't ask MRB Group to go in and design a $15 million facility when we don't have $15 million. So, we've asked them to design to the budget that we have. It's their job to do that. It depends. All right. Any further discussions? I'd also like to call attention to the rebranding of the shop to do operations.

1:27:08 – 1:27:220

So when moving forward when we call it operations facility does that mean Mike's director of Mike said he's trying to get to retirement.

1:27:26 – 1:28:200

There's a lot of there's so much of our city operations that funnel out of that facility and you know part of our design will be a new sign there. Um and maybe our packages will get to live where they're supposed to go.
