Witness the Enigma Corporation getting themselves out of RDV and the Stone Family trust getting themselves changed to RDV.
Time is a flat circle

Maybe we can start a thread "907 Pendleton St" so we can rehash this argument about RDV, drive thrus, and road diets over and over again there.

A construction bid for a key trail that would connect Cleveland Park to Greenville's Laurens Road pedestrian bridge and a Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail extension has come in nearly $1 million over budget, calling into question how the city will pay for the project in a race against the clock:
Take some of those tower funds and finish the trail extension.

This is not proof of RDV zoning increasing property values in general.It may show interest in an area that is growing and currently available.I do not see RDV helping the people selling the carwash or any other building that is not currently in compliance with the restrictive and unacceptable zoning that RDV imposes.
you sued the city over RDV? right? How'd the trial go?

Trader Joe's is smaller than that, more like 20k SF, IIRC. The Beach Company sold off too much of their holdings, IMO. They could have gotten a grocer in there had they supplied more parking and devoted the entire first floor to it.
trader joes are 8-15k sq/ft. The problem is that mosaic spot doesn't have enough wealth density or traffic to sustain a TJs. Median hhold income is only like $61k (for reference, Lewis Plaza with the HT is $110k). And we've already got a TJs a few miles away. Again, I'd love a small grocer, but its a tough haul and developers shouldn't promise what they can't deliver.

As much as I would love to get one there, a grocery store wouldn't work. A real store needs to be 35k sq/ft to compete, otherwise its going to be like a Caviar & Bananas / Reids type operation. Developers love to bait projects with promises of "neighborhood markets" even though they know they'll never materialize. Beach Company did this with Canvas https://upstatebusinessjournal.com/real-estate/developer-turn-bbt-tower-apartments/

I've been attending planning meetings and charrettes in Greenville for over a decade and none of this makes sense to me.
From their website:
"We help clients get more leads, increase service tickets and sell more cars. Period. And though we always lead with digital, we complement those tactics with traditional methods, including broadcast, OOH and POP merchandising."

An interesting analysis of the vote
Sorry. Not persuaded. I'd like to attend a game one day, but whole endeavor still seems like a vanity project. I think the County has invested in enough private-public partnerships with Hughes, too.

I don't believe that's what he's saying. He's talking in general, not about your circumstances.
yes, unclear, sorry. In general, without zoning regs, whats stopping a new liquor store, a pawn shop, a pay day lender, or a plasma center....

How does a minority owned business operating a drive through cater to vice and extort the poor?
The RDV designation is the only tool some neighborhoods have to stop bad retail from invading their neighborhood.

Laws should have clear and defined rights and restrictions.RDV allows for special exemptions and a Mob rules mentality where the city and local homeowners decide which business/tenant is acceptable and which isn't.
Yes, local homeowners very much want a say in what can be bought and sold in their neighborhoods. If they are tired of businesses that cater to vice and extort the poor, they should be listened to. That isn't mob mentality. That is democracy.

RDV may have failed to stop the Burger King, but it has kept a number of really lousy developments from infesting the neighborhoods. It's an imperfect tool, but it has done a lot of good.

I like the added density, of course, but I really appreciate the "finishing" of the street. The way they truncated Douthit Street at 123 (and many others) was unfortunate.
they carved up that neighborhood with Academy. Check out the "before" aerial shots https://citygis.greenvillesc.gov/Html5Viewer/index.html?viewer=historicalimageryviewer

The halfway house received a zoning exception that most of the neighborhood opposed. That, and it already being zoned redevelopment district, i don’t think they would have much of a leg to stand on.
there was vocal opposition, but i wouldn't say it was the majority. Regardless, if someone tried to put a bar in that spot, there would be a fight.

I had always hoped that this little building would be redeveloped similar to the Universal Joint on Stone or with a volleyball court out back like Irish Pub on Pleasantburg. So much potential but... more townhomes. Great.
it sits across the street from a substance recovery halfway house. So I'm thinking alcohol wouldn't fly.

This is more Pendleton Street than Dunean.
technically it is the Green Ave neighborhood.

Underpass at 253 has more clearance than I expected. Sidewalk to get to it will be tight on busy days. Hope they find a way to smooth out the route to/from the trail.

Anyone know what is going on at southeast intersection of Swamp Rabbit Trail and 253? they are clearing trees for about 50 yards from the trail. Is this the county project to explore an underpass/tunnel?

Is Unity the logical location for future fireworks to be launched from now that County Square is no longer going to be one big parking lot?
I don't know why they couldn't use the Greenville High practice fields, like they did a few years back.

about 6 yrs ago, there was a plan to build a road through there, but they found the soil couldn't handle the engineering (wetlands)
