Summary

Florence County Council approved a series of zoning map amendments affecting properties in the Highway 76 corridor and other areas; one council member noted the Gateway study has appeared on agendas for four years.

Council considered and approved multiple zoning map amendments on third reading affecting parcels in Group 1 and Group 2 of the Highway 76 corridor study and related areas. Clerks read titles for Ordinances 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 and council voted to adopt each ordinance during the meeting.

Councilman Cottle and others raised questions about consistency with surrounding neighborhoods; in one exchange a council member noted the Gateway study and associated zoning work had been on the agenda ‘‘for 4 years,’’ and staff said the scope is county‑wide and substantial work by staff had been involved. No additional public hearings were recorded on the transcript for those items at this meeting.

The ordinances passed by voice vote with 'aye' recorded for each item.
