Commission OKs annexation of 0.94-acre St. James Avenue parcel for restaurant
Summary
The Planning Commission approved annexation and assignment of General Commercial zoning to a 0.94-acre vacant parcel on St. James Avenue proposed by Sunrise Christian Church for a restaurant; the applicant estimated construction could begin in about eight months pending permits.
The Goose Creek Planning Commission voted to annex a 0.94-acre parcel on St. James Avenue and assign it City General Commercial (GC) zoning, clearing the way for a proposed restaurant from Sunrise Christian Church.
Planning staff summarized the proposal and site details during the public hearing. "The proposal from the applicant is to annex... the acreage is approximately 0.94 acres... the proposed use would be for that of a restaurant," planning staff said. The comprehensive plan designates the area as a village node and identifies parcels along Saint James as targets for annexation.
Applicant representative Yarr Hussaini introduced himself and described the planned building aesthetics and timeline. "My name is Yarr Hussaini," he said during his presentation, later adding that, "in the ideal world, within 8 months" the project could move forward subject to the land-development permit process and multiagency reviews. Commissioners asked follow-up questions about facade materials, signage, and permitting timelines; the applicant said the team is working on modern, coastal-inspired design elements and would follow permitting requirements.
After closing the public hearing, a commissioner moved to approve the annexation and map amendment to annex TMS 2223-13-04-031 to the City and assign GC zoning. The motion was seconded and the commission voted in favor; the chair declared "motion carries." The record does not include a roll-call tally in the transcript.
