Summary
Fairfield County Council voted 7-0 on three routine items: title-only read of a rezoning ordinance for a Ridgeway property owned by Kevin and Clarithia Glover, a fair-housing resolution to maintain grant eligibility, and a resolution to create a commission under the Capital Project Sales Tax Act.
Fairfield County Council recorded unanimous (7-0) votes on several agenda items on April 13.
Doctor Roberts read title only for an ordinance to rezone tax map 186-01-14-008-000 (1053 US Highway 21 South, Ridgeway) from RD-1 rural residential to B-2 general business to allow retail or venue space; the Planning Commission had approved the request. The council voted on the title-only motion and the record shows 7-0 in favor. Owners were listed in the title as Kevin and Clarithia Glover.
The council also passed Resolution 2026-03 affirming Fairfield County's commitment to fair housing; the county described the resolution as keeping the county in compliance with federal and state expectations and preserving eligibility for some future grants. "This allows us to qualify for potential grants in the future, and it affirms our commitment to fair housing," a council member said during the reading.
A third measure, Resolution 2026-04, provides for the creation of a commission pursuant to the Capital Project Sales Tax Act (citing Title 4, Chapter 10, Article 3 of the South Carolina Code of Laws of 1976, as amended); that motion also passed 7-0. Doctor Roberts read the resolution language about appointment, composition, duties and other matters related to the commission.
The votes recorded during the ordinance and resolutions were unanimous; the meeting contained no recorded roll-call dissent on these items.
