Planning commission approves multiple ZLDR amendments on trees, fill and stormwater; sends packages to County Council
Summary
The Charleston County Planning Commission approved a set of proposed amendments to the Zoning and Land Development Regulations Ordinance addressing tree definitions and protections, fill and setbacks, road and drainage plan timing, and violation mitigation fees, and will forward the package to County Council for hearings.
Planning staff presented a package of proposed changes to the Charleston County Zoning and Land Development Regulations Ordinance intended to implement the comprehensive plan, reduce Board of Zoning Appeals caseload, and improve resilience and consistency with neighboring jurisdictions.
