Summary
The Loris City Council on May 4 approved second reading of Ordinance 11-25 to annex 54.88 acres along Cannon Road, contingent on zoning assignments for Parcels A and B; the motion passed 5-2, with Councilwomen Coleman and Gerald opposing.
The Loris City Council on Monday approved second reading of Ordinance 11-25, annexing 54.88 total acres along Cannon Road into the city limits by a 5-2 vote.
Clerk Melinda T. Price read the ordinance by title. The annexation covers two tracts: “Parcel A,” 31.73 acres to be zoned R-2 (residential, medium density), and “Parcel B,” 23.15 acres to be zoned IND (industrial). The parcels lie on the northwest and southeast sides of Cannon Road, south of Ralph Ellis Boulevard and north of Cedar Street. The ordinance lists PIN 176-00-00-0026 and TMS 048-00-01-036.
Councilman Lewis C. Hardee Jr. moved approval, and Councilwoman Tonya F. Sykes seconded. Mayor Michael E. Suggs and council members Gause, Hardee, Padgett and Sykes voted in favor; Councilwomen Andrea L. Coleman and Kelli D. Gerald opposed. The motion passed, 5–2.
Planning & Zoning Director Meredith Holmes had earlier provided the Planning Commission’s recommendation and public-hearing slides for a related rezoning request near the Meadow Walk subdivision; the city will schedule any required public hearings and notices before zoning changes take effect. The annexation ordinance is contingent on the parcels receiving the stated zoning designations.
The council accepted the Planning Commission report on a separate rezoning petition for 23.2 acres in front of Meadow Walk, where the applicant requested R-1.5 to allow single-family dwellings on 8,000-square-foot lots; council agreed to schedule a public hearing with a 15-day notice.
The ordinance takes effect as provided in the city’s ordinance process; the clerk will file the approved ordinance and any related zoning documents and notices. The council did not take any immediate amendments on the second reading.
