Planning commission backs change to M-1 conditional-use rules, sends amendment to City Council
Summary
Commissioners unanimously recommended that City Council consider an amendment to Section 5.5(b) of the North Charleston zoning code to provide different separation requirements for certain entertainment and assembly uses in the M-1 district.
The City of North Charleston Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend that City Council consider an ordinance amending Section 5.5(b) of Appendix A to the City Code (zoning regulations) to add a subsection that would establish different separation requirements for certain conditional uses in the M-1 Light Industrial district.
Planning staff said the change would add Section 5.5(b)(9) to clarify separation requirements for dance halls, banquet or rental halls, venues, taverns, pubs, brew pubs and music venues, which are currently governed by the same standards as general business centers under Section 5.4. The amendment would allow distinct separation standards for these uses within the M-1 district.
There was no public input on the item at the Planning Commission meeting; staff and commissioners discussed procedure and confirmed that the public hearing would take place at the second reading before Council. Commissioners moved, seconded, and unanimously recommended approval to forward the ordinance to City Council for the second-reading public hearing.
The Planning Commission’s vote is a recommendation; final action and the formal public hearing will take place during City Council’s consideration.
