Values set for city's Lincoln Park housing

Six new homes will hit the market in west Greenville now that the City Council established fair market values for the properties, the city reported.

The council during its Sept. 12 meeting approved sales prices for the homes built in the Lincoln Park neighborhood through a partnership with Bill Clark Homes. The local builder constructed the homes at cost for the city as part of an ongoing effort to promote homeownership opportunities for low-to-moderate-income families.

Values were established between $216,000 and $229,000 for homes on Hudson Street and Vanderbilt Lane. The properties will be sold for the approved market values and proceeds from the sales will be re-invested into additional housing-related initiatives, the city said.

Location of the homes and their value follows:

616 Hudson St.: $216,000618 Hudson St.: $221,000620 Hudson St.: $221,000624 Hudson St.: $229,000806 Vanderbilt Lane: $221,000808 Vanderbilt Lane: $224,000

Vertical mixed use

The council also unanimously voted to amend the city code to allow vertical mixed-use development in the following zoning districts: medical-institutional, medical-support, medical-office, medical-general commercial, medical-heavy commercial, office-residential, office, downtown commercial, downtown commercial fringe, general commercial, neighborhood commercial and heavy commercial. The new use also includes the definition of when vertical mixed use is allowed.

Vertical mixed-use development allows different uses in a single, multi-story building. Most often the upper floor or floors are residential and the street-level floor is commercial, office or civic use. Parking in excess of the required parking standards of a vertically mixed-use development would not qualify a project as vertical mixed-use development.
