Dana Brown of 2314 Vera Way described receiving a voter card that showed her assigned precinct as Myrtle Beach’s Dunes 1 precinct, while a neighbor on the same street was listed in Carolina Forest. Brown said she had received jury duty summons for a neighbor assigned to Myrtle Beach and said she feared a wrongful jury assignment could create legal complications. She also said her FEMA flood-insurance policy lists her as in rural Horry County and that her homeowner’s insurer may not reflect city fire protection credits.

Angela (last name not specified) advised she had spoken with Brown before the meeting and offered to work with the voter-registration office to correct precinct assignments; Angela told council members she previously worked in the Horry County elections division and would assist in getting the addresses corrected. City staff also said FEMA must update community numbers and flood-mapping records so that annexed areas show the city community number rather than the county’s; staff said the city will contact FEMA to determine what updates are necessary.

Council members acknowledged the problem can take time to resolve because federal and county records must be updated and said staff would help coordinate with the relevant agencies. No formal action was taken; staff and a council member offered follow-up assistance to the resident.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of North Myrtle Beach - City Council Meeting 3/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Longs resident told council that annexation and address mismatches are causing incorrect voter cards, jury summons and flood-insurance listings; city staff and a council member with election experience offered to work with county and FEMA to resolve mapping and registration problems.","taxTitle","North Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina","taxId",71071,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":42,"_43":77,"_45":77,"_46":78,"_48":79,"_50":80,"_52":81,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6096158,"Council backs change to parking rules, removing parking maximums and requiring pervious surface for extra spaces",7623000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc&start=7623&end=7623","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc/thumbnail_7623000.jpg","/articles/6096158/North-Myrtle-Beach/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Council-backs-change-to-parking-rules-removing-parking-maximums-and-requiring-pervious-surface-for-extra-spaces","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6096158-2bf2b44401f7729b3895efbecf931bf6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209959&Signature=IEFquXS9kVg-7tdzS7ua8SSkU05EczoWFFjniaMDUgnG6OkX1rGltbGv~0tu1wuCwrO76undDdMz8kAQq6GBwn~Rag057-2DQh-cRciqZKJXXwo02uTpTjXGXrBa3iv2MEZgIMyfTlb1CkfMvkzu6NZDizKWOczCJHDEnj-9szB53AmGhYDlhGD8LHUpAIXHDC~OMNWZUsFJv~kr25Zxn1H5L5St2p7B4Qqqgm~jxsr9x9wDxDGGHGq37Rljub9k95j-m8b-aUqLVVKSfjV1yUQQpChp8KbCkVzXI0GcvvjSy0asz~9uoqLDtedVk1yxdPcEcr7Q4waa9AV7X~vi5g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Myrtle Beach City Council approved first reading of an amendment to Chapter 23 (zoning) that removes parking maximums and requires any parking beyond the zoning minimum to use pervious surfaces.

City planning staff said the city adopted parking maximums roughly a decade ago to prevent over-paving, but the caps generated numerous Board of Zoning Appeals variance requests. The amendment removes the parking-maximum standard while maintaining minimum parking requirements. Under the proposed change, any spaces provided above the minimum must be pervious so they will not worsen stormwater runoff.

Council members discussed the existing standard for single-family residences (two spaces for one- to five-bedroom homes) and noted the change is intended to reduce variance requests while protecting stormwater through the pervious-surface requirement for additional spaces. Public comment on the ordinance was invited and none was recorded; council closed public comment and approved first reading by voice vote.

The ordinance now advances for later readings; implementation will require applicants proposing additional spaces to specify pervious surfacing in site plans and building-permit documentation.","City council approved first reading of an ordinance to eliminate parking maximums in the zoning code; additional parking above minimums must be pervious to protect stormwater.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6096163,"Council approves first reading of Bahama Island phase 2 development agreement with unit limits and mitigation fees",350,7250000,7600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc&start=7250&end=7600","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc/thumbnail_7250000.jpg","/articles/6096163/North-Myrtle-Beach/Horry-County/South-Carolina/Council-approves-first-reading-of-Bahama-Island-phase-2-development-agreement-with-unit-limits-and-mitigation-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6096163-e22ed311c9e9d53e4f7f522be36e11b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209959&Signature=RrNpYe-DcEnhW37O68pL-I-pTE8I7P2tb-BPVvhKalFz7Mhjarb6ly6uJziyBwOJdfeZzzQ4O4pLN-KS3i0IKsZF5nsteOJnvYP0xuvQ9iQDVqCBalKlHMoKsTkzMsZ4GQfTl8yczV6lxrtdXX-b6~jPkl1Ydl7-4Q3EmKbv051iL3c2WHmDaQvlwA17I2AWijZQR3VlWGtRRKJ8blLKkXcfk3qa3n42cd0dyFpm08mzH2b3wvvs-w1lAflAuCZjIIpVxsZ4ki-sKqKecsZMQUp2ntZj10WjaI7yPTAHmSuEeEAeJEET45n3EJz0JyJl4EcPOPA~HY~CovwNfN5Htg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Myrtle Beach City Council held a public hearing and approved first reading of an amended and restated development agreement for Bahama Island Phase 2, which limits the residential portion of the project to no more than 137 units and establishes several per-unit fees and off-site improvement triggers.

City staff summarized the principal terms included in the amendment: a per-residential-unit park enhancement fee of $400, a beach parking enhancement fee of $1,100 and a public safety enhancement fee of $3,600. The staff presentation said those fees are subject to an annual increase under the formula contained in the agreement and are payable at the time of application for a building permit.

The amendment also requires the developer to complete off-site road improvements at the Old Crane Road and Bowline Boulevard intersection and to widen inbound and outbound lanes and provide three separate project entrances from Bowline Boulevard. Staff said those off-site road improvements must be finished before the developer applies for the 40th building permit for a residential unit; that permit milestone triggers the road work requirement. The developer also must improve the portion of Severson Road within the city corporate limits from Bailon Boulevard westward to the city boundary, according to the staff summary.

Council conducted a public hearing on the development-agreement amendment; no substantive public testimony on the agreement was recorded in the transcript. After the hearing, a council member moved and the council approved first reading by voice vote.

Staff told council that a separate PDD amendment for related matters was under staff review and that staff had recommended a postponement of that PDD track; that postponement recommendation did not apply to the development agreement under consideration. The development agreement action was limited to authorizing the terms summarized at the hearing and allowing the interim city manager to execute documents associated with the first-reading approval.

The agreement now moves forward for subsequent readings and final action. The agreement text sets the unit cap, per-unit fees, and the 40th-permit trigger for off-site road work; timing and implementation of the off-site improvements will be governed by the agreement language and by coordination between the developer and city public-works staff.","Council held a public hearing and approved first reading of an amended and restated development agreement for Bahama Island Phase 2 that caps residential units at 137 and sets per-unit fees and off-site road-improvement triggers.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6096168,"North Myrtle Beach council postpones Parkway Group PDD amendments after staff flags missing details",807,5583000,6390000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc&start=5583&end=6390","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2833670-7f9e05313b683ab5526b8c51600711cc/thumbnail_5583000.jpg","/articles/6096168/North-Myrtle-Beach/Horry-County/South-Carolina/North-Myrtle-Beach-council-postpones-Parkway-Group-PDD-amendments-after-staff-flags-missing-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6096168-c1eed46cf7a8a0b85df303893a700c99/orig.mp4?Expires=1771209959&Signature=hjXDw-LvjYLYaPChIyTYrGa9-E-tTN27LbQBWmgfSxgn~SUBUoK1ao~14KMs8Cd9QcfiLDUp1N4wdsGbR3chIhH4xR8x8LBoOtAvwmXyZMFpq2auHMdet7AJXZ6hat13aiuCLqVSDdGvj82Spd8BbMHnJIEj0RljwjHJzV1HWhSxn2iI3BW3srafBEIcy-wCcwSxkG8WXCwtR-tcbEDvlS2sjrWIwYg7xrJKdsv3Eg7ALa56vvEBGVMZvw3gJIn~hWHyTKPh237mgW-05gdm0LiBNwxL79NjQ96HrvSQvN1SGbZ9E69G2s2dpkeRNxCOdUse78mqfPgnQbN8vGXD2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The North Myrtle Beach City Council voted to postpone second-reading consideration of amendments to the Parkway Group Plan Development District (PDD) after staff and several council members said the submission lacked required detail.

Council postponed the ordinance at second reading after planning staff and council members said the packet did not include rear elevations, landscaping plans and clear pavement/right-of-way dimensions needed to create a recordable PDD. Staff said those missing items were present in an earlier (February 17) packet but were not carried into the current draft that would be recorded if approved.

Council members and staff said the omitted materials matter because the PDD becomes a binding entitlement document recorded at the register of deeds. Planning staff told the council the rear elevations (the “motor court” elevation in this application), landscaping locations, and a clear pavement/right-of-way standard must appear in the recordable documents so future subdivision and construction reviews can require what was promised. Staff also asked the applicant to coordinate pavement widths with public works; the packet showed inconsistent options (20-foot pavement in a 25-foot right-of-way versus other widths).

City staff indicated the applicant had made many prior requested changes, including substantial density reductions, but that the current submittal still lacked the complete set of small-scale plans and landscape details needed for a predictable outcome. Council members said the developer had reduced unit counts substantially from earlier proposals and had otherwise met many requests, but the recordable plans must fully reflect landscaping and rear-elevation details.

A motion to postpone the ordinance was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Council directed staff to receive the missing details from the applicant and to return the item for consideration at the next meeting cycle (the council discussed returning it in three weeks). Councilmembers also referenced coordinating final pavement and street section details with public works and requested a clear list of outstanding changes from staff so the council could verify the recordable package before voting.

The postponement applies to the second-reading PDD amendment (item 6a) and a closely related second-reading amendment (item 6b) the staff also asked to delay. No formal vote tallies or named mover/second were recorded in the transcript; action was taken by voice vote.

Council materials show prior review at TRC and a February packet that included the missing illustrations, and staff said the applicant removed some landscaping information in the version now before council. Staff told council the applicant had agreed to provide revised materials; councilmembers asked staff to make sure the recordable document shows the exact elements the city expects to be built.

No final decision on the merits of the PDD amendment was made; the postponement pauses the ordinance so staff and the applicant can supply a complete, recordable set of plans and specific street-section and landscaping information.","Council voted to postpone second-reading amendments to the Parkway Group Plan Development District, citing missing rear elevations, landscaping details and ambiguous street-section dimensions; staff and the developer agreed to provide a complete recordable package before the matter returns.","actionData","errors"]
