Summary

The commission approved a preliminary plan for the Rutherford Lane development: six apartment buildings totaling 48 units on 2.83 acres, after staff found the plan met subdivision requirements and the developer addressed earlier waiver denials.

The Berkeley County Planning Commission approved preliminary-plan status for the Rutherford Lane development, a proposal for six apartment buildings (48 units) on 2.83 acres on Winchester Avenue.

Planning staff said the developer had previously received waivers related to parking and buffer encroachment and that the county engineer deemed the project compliant with the subdivision ordinance. Dan Murphy of Greenway Engineering represented the applicant and answered commission questions about revisions that addressed prior denials.

A commissioner moved to accept staff's recommendation for preliminary-plan approval and the motion carried on a voice vote.

Next steps: the project will proceed through detailed plan and permitting stages per the county's subdivision and site-review processes.
