Even before they got started on Monday, Greenvilleâs newly seated planning and zoning commission was forewarned by the city attorney that they were going to be busy due to the pace of development in the city and that was clearly affirmed during a two-hour meeting when the commissioners tackled approving zoning changes for two new housing developments.Â
The meeting also proved to be a reminder of the limitations the state of Texas has placed limitations on municipalities to control the sort of projects they can permit. The commissionâs first agenda item was to grant a conditional use permit to allow a Dallas-based liquor store chain to set up shop in the former location of Collins Street Bakery â just off Interstate 30.
