The thing about their Riverplace location is that it's a great spot for pedestrians, but it's also fairly easy to find short term parking and run into the store. You're not going to get that same kind of parking convenience at Camperdown (without a longer, more laborious walk). But, you WILL have a larger immediate population of office workers, residents, and hotel visitors to draw off of.
Starbucks has been trying to get a drive-through downtown for years now. Luckily the City has put a stop to that nonsense. Starbucks should be a secondary walking stop on a downtown trip, not the destination.

Let’s go camping. Now open:
Can one go camping if they make less than $15 an hour?

I thought the site layout was actually fairly decent, but the designs of the actual buildings are awful looking.
The architecture would be fine for an inward-facing suburban apartment complex, but not for a public-facing development this close to downtown.

What are the thoughts on the potential drive-thru component?

The Citgo site and the adjacent properties are zoned RDV, so right now they would be capped at 20 units per acre.

It is sad when people apparently prefer to live in an almost third world state of existence even if opportunities to develop into a prosperous and wholesome first world community are abundantly available. This applies to countless neighborhoods all over this nation. I'm not saying they should all be filled with expensive new buildings, but some things/places/people need to change. Imagine if Greenville still looked like its 1970s-'80s version.
The main issue I have with the moratorium is not the notion that we should "press pause" and allow the Land Management Ordinance time to catch up with the Comprehensive Plan; rather, it's the language that implies that the single-family home is the only land use that matters. Yes, we should ensure that the new Land Management Ordinance properly addresses the relationship between commercial and residential. However, if we don't allow anything to be built next to our "holy" single-family homes, we won't be left with much of a walkable city.

How exactly? The city is pretty much built up and this only applies for properties next to single family residences. The vast majority of potential redevelopment commercial sites like Haywood Mall for example aren’t next to single family residences.
It applies to properties that 'abut' single-family residences, even at the rear. This essentially takes all of Stone Ave off the books. Significant portions of Laurens, Pleasantburg, Augusta are impacted.

Doesn’t apply to the CBD thank goodness so therefore I don’t care. Also, doesn’t apply for Unity Park area and projects already approved.
Council postponed action to April. If the moratorium goes through, I think it will have a bigger impact than you think it will.

On tonight's City Council agenda. Moratorium on new commercial and multi-family development adjacent to single-family residential.

Five stories, btw. The 'BZA' is probably the BRD actually. If so, that meeting is in 2 weeks (April 1). We should know a lot more then.

This project appears to be dead. Seems like every single senior housing project proposed for downtown never gets built.
I assure you, this project is not dead.
Pendleton Street [between West End and West Greenville]

Well, since the applicant stated "local coffee shop" and it's now part of the public record, the City would have good ground to stand on to deny an occupancy permit for a Starbucks.
