Summary
Berkeley County planning staff recommended — and the commission approved — a major plan change for Boyd’s Crossing Loop Road to allow 51 townhomes and one single-family lot in the Mill Creek District; the project was found compliant with the subdivision ordinance. No public comments were offered.
The Berkeley County Planning Commission voted to approve a major plan change for Boyd’s Crossing Loop Road (file 2508-226 tied to 2212-380), allowing 51 townhomes and one single-family detached lot in the Mill Creek District.
Planning staff described the project and recommended approval after county engineer Doug Smith determined the plan complies with the county’s subdivision ordinance. “Therefore, staff recommends approval,” planning staff said during the presentation.
The property, presented by developer DRB Group and engineer Morris and Ritchie, is located approximately a quarter mile east of Interstate 81 on the south side of Runnymede Road. Staff said the project will include driveway and utility service locations along the proposed Loop Road, including an extension of the sanitary main.
No members of the public spoke during the hearing. Commissioner discussion was brief; a motion to accept staff’s recommendation was recorded by the chair as made by Mr. Bush and seconded by Mr. Goff. The commission voted and the motion carried.
The approval advances the plan through the county process; staff and the developer will follow the county’s permitting and infrastructure requirements, including any needed coordination with the county engineer and state highway authorities.
Meeting action: Motion to approve staff recommendation to grant the major plan change for Boyd’s Crossing Loop Road (motion recited by chair as by Mr. Bush; second Mr. Goff); outcome: approved.
