Summary
On July 12, 2022, Sumter County Council unanimously granted first reading to RZ-22-06, rezoning roughly 6 acres at 1651 N. Kings Highway from Residential-15 to Agricultural Conservation to allow a manufactured home and small-scale farming, Planning Director Helen Roodman told council.
On July 12, 2022, Sumter County Council unanimously granted first reading to RZ-22-06, a request to rezone about 6.0 acres at 1651 N. Kings Highway from Residential-15 (R-15) to Agricultural Conservation (AC). Planning Director Helen Roodman presented the request on behalf of applicant Kaylei Pervard, saying the owner hopes to place a manufactured home on the parcel and conduct unspecified farming operations.
Roodman told council the property is heavily wooded, about 130 feet wide and roughly one-third of a mile long. She said the parcel was rezoned from Agricultural Conservation in 2007 for a single-family development that was never built and that the county’s 2040 Land Use Map places the site in the Rural Development Planning Area, whose goals include supporting low-density residential and selected agricultural uses.
Councilman Carlton B. Washington clarified that the land in question is not in his council district and noted the parcel sits on a section of Highway 261 that crosses district lines. Vice Chairman James R. Byrd moved to grant first reading; Councilman Artie Baker seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
No public comments on the rezoning were recorded in the meeting minutes. The council granted first reading; a date for any subsequent readings was not specified in the record.
