Council approves annexations and zoning changes, introduces South Irby townhome zoning
Summary
Council approved second-reading annexation and zoning ordinances (including an RG-3 phase of Smithfield and an NC-6.2 parcel at 922 West Sumter Street) and introduced a first-reading ordinance to annex and zone property on South Irby Street as NC-6.3 with staff noting developer responsibilities for a private lift station and easements.
The council approved multiple land-use ordinances and heard a staff report on a proposed annexation and zoning for South Irby Street.
On second reading, Council adopted Ordinance 2025-40 to annex and zone the third phase of Smithfield Subdivision as RG-3. Council also voted to annex and zone the parcel at 922 West Sumter Street as NC-6.2 (Florence County tax map number cited in the record). Both measures were moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
Council then introduced Bill 2025-42 for first reading to annex and zone a property along South Irby Street as NC-6.3. Planning staff reported the site has Irby frontage near the Irby and Rosemount intersection, that the Planning Commission recommended a townhome complex contingent on annexation and zoning, and that city water is available. Staff said the developer must provide a private lift station and easement to accommodate sewer access and that an existing home on the site will be demolished prior to construction.
The council asked whether discussion was needed, heard the staff presentation, and approved the introduction of the ordinance for the first reading. The measures advance municipal land-use and utility-provision requirements and will follow standard permitting and developer responsibility processes.
