Planning commission approves Ridgeville commercial rezoning pending traffic study
Summary
A 1.63‑acre rezoning request at Sampson Road and Ridgeville Road to general commercial was approved with the condition that a traffic study be completed before third reading to identify necessary road improvements.
The commission voted to approve RR946, a request from Wireglow LLC to rezone 1.63 acres at 115 Sampson Road from Agricultural Residential to CG (general commercial), with a condition that a traffic study be completed prior to third reading.
Staff explained prior discussions with SCDOT and Public Works found access along Highway 27 would be limited to right‑in/right‑out and that full access would require improvements along Sampson Road. Public Works can require encroachment improvements, but that process may entail road‑widening agreements and potential land acquisition. For those reasons staff recommended approval contingent on a pre‑third‑reading traffic study to identify improvements. The commission approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Why it matters: The condition aligns commercial approvals with technical traffic analysis and ensures local departments identify necessary improvements before final County Council action.
