Board approves rezoning 533-24 to add mobile‑home overlay for subdivided Church in the Pines parcels
Summary
The planning board approved rezoning application 533-24 to allow a manufactured‑home overlay (R1‑MHA) on three subdivided lots out of a larger parcel near Devon Drive, enabling placement of double‑wide homes subject to road‑frontage requirements.
The Scotland County Planning and Zoning Board approved application 533-24 to rezone portions of a recorded plat near Little Chapel/Devon Drive from R1 to R1‑MHA (mobile home overlay) to permit double‑wide manufactured homes on the subdivided lots.
Planning staff explained that map updates and new parcel numbers had been added to county records only recently; the lots in question had been subdivided on a recorded plat but did not yet appear on the county GIS at the time the agenda was prepared. Staff confirmed that the three lots being rezoned already have separate parcel numbers on the county records and that the request applies only to those subdivided parcels, not the entire 5.2‑acre parent parcel.
The board discussed minimum lot‑size and frontage rules. Staff advised that if a new parcel does not meet R1 minimum lot size (5.01 acres), each parcel may still be valid if it has at least 80 feet of road frontage on Devon Drive; the paperwork submitted showed the required frontage. Board members noted that a previous mobile home was placed in the area in 2017 and that a mobile‑home overlay is common in the neighborhood.
A motion to approve rezoning 533-24 from R1 to R1‑MHA passed after a second; the transcript records the motion, second, and chair’s call for ayes but does not provide a named roll‑call tally.
Board discussion noted that closing and sale of the subdivided lots would be contingent on final rezoning and county‑commissioner approvals. Planning staff said the parcel map and tax IDs had been newly issued and would be reflected in GIS updates.
The board also discussed that the item will proceed to the county commissioners and return to the planning board as part of the county’s review process.
