Dorchester County planning commission defers rezoning request for Badham Drive property

The Dorchester County Planning Commission on an unstated date deferred a request by property owner Pearly C. Shider to rezone a 1.4-acre parcel at 64012 Badham Drive. The applicant asked in person for a deferral to return with an amended application, and the commission approved the deferral by voice vote.

The request was listed as rezoning application No. 942 and proposed changing the parcel from AR (agricultural/residential) to CLI (commercial light industrial), according to the staff summary read at the meeting. The applicant told the commission they preferred to come back at a later date with an amended application; the commission then moved to defer and approved the motion by voice vote.

No public comment was recorded on the item while it was before the commission. No formal conditions, analyses, or technical reviews were adopted as part of the deferral; staff and the commission treated the action as a postponement to allow the applicant to amend the submission and return at a later meeting.
