Votes at a glance: Planning Commission actions on rezoning and College Park annexation
Summary
On Aug. 1 the Planning Commission denied a rezoning request for a Liberty Hall parcel (TMS 2440501021) by 4–3 and approved annexation and a planned development for College Park/Berkeley Farms parcels, adopting an affordability amendment before a unanimous approval.
Key formal actions taken by the City of Goose Creek Planning Commission at tonight's meeting:
• Rezoning TMS 2440501021 (Liberty Hall Road): Motion to deny the rezoning from residential single-family to general commercial carried 4–3. Motion made by Vice Chair Heather Bird and seconded by Nick Matthews. Staff had recommended denial based on the comprehensive-plan designation and adjacency to single-family properties. No site-plan approval or TIA was granted; those would be considered separately if the property moves forward to council review.
• Annexation and Planned Development (College Park Road / Berkeley Farms Road): The commission approved annexation and assignment of Planned Development zoning for multiple parcels (approx. 36.25 acres) after adopting an amendment to affordability provisions. The amendment raised the affordable set-aside (described during discussion as increasing from 10% to 20%), added a rental-price cap tying rents to 30% of 80% AMI, and included proposed sale-price constraints tied to 120% AMI. The motion carried by unanimous voice vote and will be forwarded to City Council for final action.
These votes will be recorded in the meeting minutes and the items will proceed to City Council along the normal annexation and zoning review process.
