Council approves rezoning of 290 Willis Street to C1 after second reading
Summary
Batesburg‑Leesville Town Council unanimously adopted second reading to rezone two parcels at 290 Willis Street (TMS 007028-02-018 and 007028-02-015), converting 2.08 acres from C2 (Office & Institutional Commercial) to C1 (General Commercial).
The Batesburg‑Leesville Town Council voted unanimously on May 12, 2025, to adopt second reading of an ordinance rezoning two parcels at 290 Willis Street from C2 (Office and Institutional Commercial) to C1 (General Commercial). The parcels, identified as TMS 007028-02-018 and 007028-02-015, total 2.08 acres.
Council took up the item during the meeting’s public hearing and held second reading before the vote. Town staff confirmed the parcel sizes and TMS numbers during the presentation. When the motion to adopt second reading was made and seconded, the roll-call vote recorded affirmative votes from council members and the mayor, and the motion carried.
The rezoning will change the applicable commercial zoning designation for the property; council discussion noted there were no public speakers signed up to oppose or support the request during the public hearing. The ordinance will be recorded and enforced according to the town’s usual adoption procedures.
The item had come through the planning commission beforehand; council packet materials referenced that background. The council did not attach additional conditions to the ordinance during the second reading. No implementation date beyond standard post‑adoption processing was specified at the meeting.
The council’s action completes the legislative step required at the municipal level; any subsequent administrative steps (plat recording, building permits, or utilities connections) will follow normal town procedures and applicant actions.
