Contact the Planning Division

The Planning Division oversees land development, long-range planning, and historic preservation while reviewing and processing applications for site development plans, conditional use permits, plats, rezonings, and other development requests.

The Planning Division also prepares and presents proposals to the Planning Commission, the Board of Zoning Appeals, and the Board of Architectural Review. Staff members collaborate with the community and local organizations to develop the City's Comprehensive Plan and ensure the plan’s goals, objectives, and policies are implemented effectively.

This work reflects the community’s forward-thinking vision, enhances quality of life, and guides the city's growth by combining comprehensive planning with effective economic development strategies.

Greer will be a well-planned city where all people can thrive—regardless of background or neighborhood—through a built environment that reflects community needs, protects natural resources, connects people and places, and celebrates local identity. Our planning efforts will manage growth, embrace innovation, and ensure lasting quality of life for future generations.

The Planning Division works with several boards and commissions to guide growth and preserve the community’s character.
