Planning staff reports 1,519 building permits for year; three residential projects in pipeline
Summary
Staff told the Lexington County Planning Commission the county issued 1,519 building permits for the year, with Q4 totals of 419 and three new residential pipeline projects described.
Planning staff reported that Lexington County issued 1,519 total site-built and manufactured housing permits in the year, with 419 issued in the fourth quarter. Manufactured-home permits totaled 438 for the year, an increase from the prior year, staff said.
The presentation listed three pipeline residential projects: Fallow Road Track (8 lots on 12.1 acres) in Council District 1, developed by Great Southern Homes; Henbit Drive (22 lots on about 8.5 acres) in the town of West Columbia under that town's ordinance, listed in Council District 8 and developed by Land Tech; and The Preserves at Cherokee Veil (62 lots on ~34 acres) in the town of Lexington under its ordinance in Council District 7, developed by Stanley Martin Homes.
Staff described year-to-date permit totals as similar to 2021 and slightly below 2019, noting a rebound from the 2020-2023 downturn. The packet shown to the commission included site locations, aerials and project developers. No formal action or vote was required for the report; commissioners moved on to items including variance requests and concurrency reviews.
