In March 2021, an area plan for Five Forks was posted by Greenville County for comment. The plan had been developed since 2018 by a committee of Five Forks residents to address heavy traffic, loss of trees, and inconsistent growth, and covers commercial design, environmental protection, and goals for residential control.<ref name="pandc" /> All three county council members who represent parts of Five Forks support the plan, and no one spoke against it at a public hearing in May 2021. The county's addition of overlay districts, as suggested by the plan, would legally govern future development in Five Forks.<ref name=pcnc>{{cite news |url=https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/business/five-forks-area-plan-seeking-to-manage-rapid-growth-begins-county-approval-process/article_261dcf46-b77a-11eb-b61c-5fea0a8c6164.html |title=Five Forks Area Plan, seeking to manage rapid growth, begins county approval process |date=May 17, 2021 |newspaper=Post and Courier Greenville |location=South Carolina |first=Nathaniel |last=Cary |access-date=June 3, 2021 }}</ref> A motion for the council to adopt the plan as an amendment to the county's comprehensive plan was unanimously carried in August 2021.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.greenvillecounty.org/council/_agenda/meetings%20of%202021/county%20council/2021.09.07/August%2017%20%20CC%20minutes.pdf#page=4 |title=Regular Council Meeting Minutes |date=August 17, 2021 |website=Greenville County Council |page=4 |access-date=October 23, 2021 }}</ref>
