Summary

The Planning Commission recommended annexation and NC 6.2 zoning for a burned, unincorporated parcel at 1006 West Marion Street to allow the owner access to city services and a path toward redevelopment.

The Florence City Planning Commission voted to recommend annexation and NC 6.2 zoning for a small, burned-out parcel at 1006 West Marion Street (tax map number 96013-005), a “donut hole” of county territory surrounded by city limits.

Planning staff said the owner requested annexation to obtain city services and assistance demolishing the burned structure so the lot can be redeveloped. Staff noted adjacent properties and the parcels behind the site are already inside city limits, and that the requested NC 6.2 zoning conforms to the neighborhood conservation future land-use map.

One nearby resident, Carol McLean, spoke with questions about impacts to adjacent unannexed properties; staff replied that annexation applies only to the owner-applicant’s parcel and would not change the status of neighboring lots unless those owners seek annexation. After public comment, the commission closed the hearing and approved the annexation and recommended the NC 6.2 zoning by voice vote.

The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action on annexation and zoning.
