Summary
The Planning Commission approved a set of rezoning requests and denied two: it approved a roadside produce-stand rezoning, an inclusion of a parcel into Westlake Market, several small residential rezonings and denied two industrial rezoning requests on Leslie Highway and Linkwood Road.
At its Nov. 10 meeting the York County Planning Commission considered several rezoning requests and acted as follows:
- Rezoning 25-40 (Christopher Mills, 2.81 acres, 991 Pull Branch Road, Clover): Approved with condition that one of two curb cuts be removed and the property provide a single access point. (Staff recommended approval; motion and second carried by voice vote.)
- Rezoning 25-41 (ARIC Lake Wylie LLC, 6,400 sq ft parcel at 5356 Highway 55): Approved to incorporate the parcel into the Westlake Village Shopping Center as open space/general commercial. (Staff recommended approval; approved by voice vote.)
- Rezoning 2542 (Justin & Ashley Messer, 4.43 acres, 1285 White Wolf Road): Approved to rezone from AGC to RUD to allow subdivision and another dwelling; staff recommended approval and the commission approved by voice vote.
- Rezoning 25-43 (Forsberg LLC, ~27 acres on Leslie Highway): Denied on staff recommendation because the request to rezone UD to ID was found inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and incompatible with adjacent residential uses and an adjacent high school.
- Rezoning 2544 (Forsberg LLC, 1.66 acres at 583 Linkwood Road): Denied; staff recommended LI or other less intensive districts and the commission accepted staff recommendation to deny the ID request.
- Rezoning 25-45 (Jonathan Kidd, 1.9 acres at 1976 New Gray Rock Road): Approved from RSF-40 to RSF-30 to allow subdivision and an additional dwelling.
- Rezoning 25-47 (Eric & Kristen Hunsberger, 1,400 sq ft lot at 228 Ridge Reserve Drive): Approved from UD to RMX-10 to allow a single-family dwelling in Herons Cove; staff recommended approval and the commission approved by voice vote.
Votes were recorded by voice; no roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting minutes for these items. Applicants or staff seeking conditions must follow up with planning staff to complete required permitting steps.
What happens next: Approved rezonings will proceed to any remaining administrative steps (permits, condition compliance). Denied requests may be revised by applicants and resubmitted or appealed to County Council if desired.
