Citizens of Greer are concerned about the loss of the character of the town, due to rampant large scale developments. The city does not at this time, have a zoning ordinance that allows for these developments, so developers have been misusing the Design Review District zoning. This special zone was created to accommodate construction that would benefit the city, but fell outside existing regulations. It was never intended to allow for the wholesale devastation of our town.
We are demanding a moratorium on all apartment and town house development until, after careful consideration and input from the citizens of Greer, the city adopts a zoning regulation that allows for their construction.
The city is rubber stamping these projects before anyone can express there opposition. It's all about money for the city and they have no regard as to who or what is impacted as long as they can profit.
