Planning Commission recommends annexation and zoning assignment for 1015 Hamrick Street
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to recommend assigning an Urban Core Mixed Residential (Type 3) land‑use classification and a Residential Two‑Family Mill Village zoning classification at the time of annexation for property at 1015 Hamrick Street and Rear Bluff Road; staff noted a rear parcel is landlocked and would need combining for development.
The Columbia City Planning Commission voted to recommend that 1015 Hamrick Street and Rear Bluff Road be annexed and assigned an urban core mixed residential, Type 3, land‑use classification and the zoning classification described in the packet as "Residential Two‑Family Mill Village District" at the time of annexation.
Planning staff introduced the case and said the property is currently classified by Richland County as mixed residential high density and zoned Residential 6 (R‑6). The request presented to the commission was for a recommendation on both the land‑use classification and the zoning assignment to apply at annexation.
Tushar Patel, who identified himself as the property owner, told the commission, "I'm the property owner, and me and my engineer are here." Staff and commissioners discussed access to the rear parcel; staff stated the rear parcel is landlocked and that the city's ordinances require a landlocked parcel to be combined with other property if it is to be developed.
A Planning Commission member moved to recommend approval of the land‑use and zoning assignments, citing the decision standards in Unified Development Ordinance Section 17‑2.5. The motion was seconded. Commissioners responded in the affirmative and the motion passed.
No public speakers were recorded on this item during the regular‑agenda hearing. The recommendation will be forwarded as part of the annexation submittal and applicable city decision processes.
The commission then moved to the next agenda item.
