Fountain Inn meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Fountain Inn agendas: Barton Hollow district change, judge appointment, two setback variances

Fountain Inn's City Council and Board of Zoning Appeals have agendas set for three meetings in October, including a proposed change to the Barton Hollow Flexible Review District that would allow single-family homes in Area C. No minutes have been published for any of the three meetings, so no decisions, vote tallies, or dollar amounts are recorded in the material available. What follows is what the agendas list.

Barton Hollow district change on council agenda

City Council's Oct. 8, 2026 agenda lists first and final reading of SP-2026-02, a change to the Barton Hollow Flexible Review District Area C to allow single-family homes. Because the item is listed for first and final reading, the council could act on it at that meeting. The agenda does not record an outcome.

Outdoor displays and cafes ordinance

Also on the Oct. 8 agenda is second and final reading of Ordinance 2026-08, regarding outdoor displays and cafes. The agenda does not include the ordinance text or any vote.

Municipal Judge appointment

The Oct. 8 agenda lists the appointment of Wes Smith as part-time Municipal Judge. The agenda does not state a term, pay, or a vote.

August financials and executive session

Council is also scheduled to review August 2026 financials. No figures appear in the agenda. The agenda lists an executive session regarding legal advice for 2025-CP-23-01571. The agenda does not describe the case or the advice sought.

Zoning board to hear two setback variance requests

The Board of Zoning Appeals meets Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM at 300 Wall Street. Two public hearings are listed:

• VAR-2026-02: Harold Garrett requests a side yard setback variance for a proposed subdivision at 604 North Woods Drive (Tax Map # 0336000100104, zoning S-1).
• VAR-2026-03: Fountain Inn Capital, LLC requests relief from the 50-foot maximum front yard setback at 107 Milacron Drive (Tax Map # 0349000100308, zoning C-2).

The board is also scheduled to approve minutes from its July 7, 2026 meeting, and may enter executive session on any agenda item under S.C. Code Ann. § 30-4-70.

Special called meeting

Council holds a special called meeting on Oct. 12, 2026. The agenda lists a single item: a presentation by Holly Hayes of ISI Consulting. The agenda does not state the subject of the presentation.

What the record does not show

All three items above are agendas only. None of the summaries records a motion, a vote count, a dollar amount, or a final outcome. The absence of that information means minutes have not yet been published, not that the bodies took no action.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the data provided for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official postings for agendas and minutes. The agendas described here are the primary documents, and any outcomes will appear in the minutes once those are published.

Fountain Inn boards weigh zoning, business rules, and land-use changes

What happened this week

No meeting minutes have been published for the three Fountain Inn government meetings held in the past two weeks. The summaries below reflect what was on each agenda; outcomes are not yet confirmed in the public record.

Board of Zoning Appeals — July 7

The Board of Zoning Appeals was scheduled to consider a special exception request from the School District of Greenville County. The request, listed as SE-2026-04, concerned the property at 7 Add Court and its use in conjunction with the school. Minutes were not yet published.

City Council — July 9

City Council's agenda included a first reading of Ordinance 2026-08, which would amend Chapter 11: Licenses and Business Regulations. The agenda described the item as relating to outdoor displays and cafes.

Other agenda items were:

• Police Department's Superhero Check Presentation to The Little White House
• Proclamation Honoring Mr. Mark Pease
• Review of May 2026 Financials

The agenda also listed presentations and the introduction of new employees. Minutes were not yet published, so no vote tallies or final actions are available.

Planning Commission — July 16

The Planning Commission was set to consider several land-use requests:

• Annexation and rezone to C-2 for GBA Holdings, LLC at 107 Milacron Drive
• Rezone from C-2 to S-1 for Harold Garrett at 604 North Woods Drive
• Text amendment to the Fountain Inn Zoning Ordinance

Minutes were not yet published, so it is not yet known how the commission acted on these items.

Why it matters

The Council ordinance and the Planning Commission land-use items could affect how businesses operate and how specific properties are zoned in Fountain Inn. The zoning requests at 107 Milacron Drive and 604 North Woods Drive, if approved, would change the allowed uses on those parcels. Residents who want to know the outcomes should watch for the published minutes or contact City Hall.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days.
