North Myrtle Beach council postpones Parkway Group PDD amendments, schedules special call meeting
Summary
Council voted to postpone three related amendments to the Parkway Group Planned Development District after staff said applicant materials arrived too late for review; council asked for full-size plans and agreed to a special call meeting within seven days.
The North Myrtle Beach City Council voted to postpone three related amendments to the Parkway Group Planned Development District (PDD) after staff said revised materials arrived too late to be included in the council packet.
Council members said the applicant has reduced density in the proposed changes but that staff and the city attorney need time to review the latest submittal. Council members agreed to hold a special call meeting within seven days for further consideration if staff and the city attorney are prepared to proceed.
The postponement covered: (a) an ordinance on second reading amending the Parkway Group PDD to revise the preserve; (b) a second public hearing on a separate, independent first amendment to the Parkway Group PDD; and (c) an ordinance on first reading of the first amendment to the Parkway Group PDD Master Development Agreement revising the preserves and authorizing the interim city manager to sign documents on the city’s behalf. City staff requested the postponement so reviewers could examine the applicant’s late changes.
Council members asked staff to provide full-size (readable-scale) plan sets showing the initially submitted layout and the currently proposed changes; members said it was difficult to assess proposals from 11-by-17 reductions. Council also discussed possible meeting times (early evening or earlier in the day) and, by the end of the discussion, agreed to a special call meeting at 1:30 p.m. within seven days if staff and the city attorney can complete their review.
Motion and outcome: a motion to postpone the three items was made and seconded; the council agreed to postpone (mover and seconder not specified in the public record). No ordinance readings or approvals on the Parkway items took place at the meeting.
The council noted the item has been under review for several months and that density in the proposal has been reduced from earlier drafts. The council directed staff to prepare full-size plan sets for the special call meeting and to notify members when the city attorney has cleared the revised documents for agenda action.
The postponement preserves the council’s option to consider the amendments at the special call meeting; no final decisions or votes on the substance of the PDD amendments were recorded at the regular meeting.
