Council gives first reading to annexation and rezoning of property on Creel Street
Summary
Council advanced on first reading an ordinance to annex approximately 12.15 acres and rezone a property at 1001 from Horry County General Residential to Conway Professional District; Planning Commission recommended approval and staff said current and adjacent uses make the proposed professional zoning compatible.
CONWAY, S.C. — The Conway City Council on Oct. 20 approved first reading of an ordinance to annex and rezone roughly 12.15 acres at 1001 (Creel Street area) from Horry County General Residential to the City of Conway Professional District.
Planning staff said the property is currently a single‑family dwelling and noted that adjacent parcels and properties across the street are already zoned professional; the city’s future land‑use map, however, designates the site as low‑to‑medium density residential (R‑1). Planning staff told council that the Planning Commission reviewed the request Oct. 2 and recommended approval of professional zoning on annexation; staff also recommended approval. One councilmember asked whether the professional district typically serves as a transition between residential and retail; staff responded that professional zoning is more restrictive than highway or neighborhood commercial and noted it permits a single‑family dwelling.
Council moved and seconded first reading and then voted to approve the first reading unanimously.
Next steps: the ordinance will return for additional readings and any required hearings before final adoption.
