Council approves rezoning at 640 Meinhard Road to allow office use with conditions
Summary
By a 5-1 vote, the council rezoned 2.73 acres at 640 Meinhard Road from R-1 to C-1 for office use, with staff-recommended conditions excluding certain C-1 uses; Councilwoman ArtLise Alston-Cone cast the sole dissenting vote.
The Port Wentworth City Council approved the second reading of a zoning-map amendment to rezone 2.73 acres at 640 Meinhard Road (PIN #70978 04001) from R-1 to C-1 to permit office use.
City Planner Katie Dunnigan presented staff’s recommendation to approve the request while excluding several C-1 permitted or special-use activities. Dunnigan listed the uses to be excluded from the C-1 designation: cemeteries, contractor facilities, antennas or cellular towers, gas stations and RV parks.
The motion to approve passed with five votes in favor and one opposed. The recorded vote was AYES — Gabrielle Nelson, Thomas Barbee, Mark Stephens, Rufus Bright and Shawn Randerwala; NAYES — ArtLise Alston-Cone. The motion was moved by Council Member Thomas Barbee and seconded by Council Member Mark Stephens.
Next steps: With second-reading approval recorded in the minutes, the zoning designation change takes effect per the city’s established procedures; the council did not record additional conditions beyond those the planner recommended.
