Horry County Council approves multiple zoning map amendments; executive session called on potential lawsuit
Summary
Council approved several second‑reading zoning ordinances (including rezoning of two parcels and other ordinances) unanimously where recorded, recognized county staff, and entered an executive session for legal advice on a threatened or potential lawsuit; one motion to disapprove an overlay amendment was recorded but its final vote is not captured in the provided transcript.
The Horry County Council considered multiple second‑reading zoning items and approved several ordinances during the meeting. Council approved a rezoning request for PIN 42912010011 to change from Neighborhood Commercial to Retail with an accessory outdoor store designation as consistent with the Imagine 2040 future‑land‑use plan; council moved and seconded the ordinance and recorded unanimous support after no public speakers sought to be heard.
The council also approved ordinances to rezone a 13.38‑acre portion of PIN 28900000039 from Forest Agriculture to Residential and to amend future land‑use maps tied to Imagine 2040; those items were moved, seconded, and passed unanimously with no public comment.
Additional second‑reading ordinances (including Ordinance 78‑22, presented for an applicant represented by Anthony Zachy on behalf of Saint Mark the Apostle Coptic Orthodox, and Ordinance 79‑2025) were moved, seconded and recorded as passing after public‑hearing steps where no public comment was offered.
On Ordinance 80‑2025, which would amend Article 8 Section 8.04 of the zoning ordinance related to the Highway 707 Overlay, a council member moved to put a motion to disapprove on the floor and the motion was seconded; the provided transcript records the motion and second but does not include the roll‑call outcome for that motion. Later in the meeting counsel advised in executive session on a threatened or potential lawsuit; counsel reported that legal advice was received, no decisions were made, and no votes were taken while in executive session.
The meeting included routine approvals of the agenda and minutes and concluded after the executive session.
