Summary
Council passed multiple zoning map amendments affecting the Highway 76 corridor and approved an ordinance creating a Florence City‑County Convention and Visitors Commission; several second‑reading zoning ordinances were recommended by the planning commission and approved on voice votes.
The council moved through a package of ordinances on second reading that change zoning designations for properties in the Highway 76 corridor and other areas and approved on third reading an ordinance creating a Florence City‑County Convention and Visitors Commission to operate the Florence Convention and Visitors Bureau.
County staff explained recommended zoning categories (for example, R4, B3, RU1, MR) and said the requests were made by Florence County and recommended by the planning commission. Several councillors discussed the deferred chronic nuisance ordinance amendment and the sheriff’s office review of proposed language; staff said they would meet further with the sheriff and planning department before returning the item to the agenda.
Multiple ordinances passed by voice vote. Staff noted that ordinance 48 (allocation of CPST excess funds) would specify purposes for expenditures consistent with the 11/03/2020 referendum and that the bonds mature on 06/01/2028.
