Batesburg-Leesville council approves annexation and three rezones
Summary
Council approved the second reading annexation of ~20.05 acres on Line Street to R1 single-family residential and adopted second readings to rezone 532 West Columbia Avenue and 413 Hartley Street; council also approved a zoning amendment affecting I-1 district structure heights.
The Batesburg-Leesville Town Council on Jan. 12 approved multiple land-use items on second reading, including an annexation and two rezones, and amended a zoning provision for industrial districts.
Council voted to annex approximately 20.05 acres on Line Street (Lexington and Saluda County TMS numbers read into the record) and zone the property R1 (single-family residential). No public speakers addressed the item during the public hearing; the motion carried on a roll‑call vote.
Council also approved second readings to rezone 532 West Columbia Avenue from C2 (office/institutional) to C1 (general commercial) and to rezone 413 Hartley Street from C1 (general commercial) to R3 (multifamily residential); both measures passed on roll‑call votes with no discussion. Later in the meeting, council adopted a second-reading amendment to zoning ordinance 7‑7.9 addressing the height of structures in I‑1 industrial districts.
All land‑use measures were approved as second readings with voting recorded by district and mayoral affirmation. Council noted that public hearings on the items were held and that no members of the public spoke in opposition or support at those hearings.
