West Columbia council approves rezoning of 2254 Lee Park Road to commercial
Summary
The council adopted the Planning Commission’s recommendation to rezone 2254 Lee Park Road (tax map 004625-04-032) from R1 to C2; members discussed facade-grant eligibility and streetscape improvements and asked staff to confirm grant program details.
The West Columbia City Council voted unanimously to approve the Planning Commission’s recommendation to rezone 2254 Lee Park Road (tax map number 004625-04-032) from residential R1 to general commercial C2.
During second-reading consideration council members discussed the visibility of the intersection, expressed interest in streetscape improvements and asked whether the city’s facade grant program could apply to the property. Speakers on the dais indicated the facade grant is citywide outside of residential areas and that it is a matching program; councilmembers and staff referenced a 50% match and discussed a figure of roughly $10,000 as a possible maximum, but they said staff would double-check the precise dollar limit and eligibility criteria.
No amendments to the rezoning were recorded on the council floor and the presiding officer announced the motion was adopted unanimously.
Council did not record a roll-call vote in the public transcript; the Planning Commission’s recommendation was explicitly referenced as the basis for the council’s approval.
