Developer seeks mixed‑use designation for 13 townhomes on Ranchette Circle
Summary
An applicant requested a future land use change from suburban to mixed use and a rezone to allow 13 fee‑simple townhomes (10.57 du/acre) on 1.23 acres in Myrtle Beach; staff said mixed use better matches the proposed density and the applicant answered questions about transitions and infrastructure.
Staff presented a request to amend the future land use map from suburban to mixed use and to rezone 1.23 acres from Highway Commercial to MRD3 to permit 13 fee‑simple townhomes on Ranchette Circle.
Grayson said the proposed gross and net density would be about 10.57 dwelling units per acre, exceeding the suburban designation (3–7 du/acre), and that mixed use is the appropriate future land use designation. The plan includes sidewalks and a 1,200‑square‑foot community garden as sustainable development criteria and proposes 25‑, 10‑ and 5‑foot streetscape buffers along the site’s frontages. Applicant Caitlin Weinberg of G3 Engineering confirmed she was present to answer questions and complimented staff’s presentation. A commissioner asked how the mixed‑use classification differs in practice from leaving the land as residential; staff explained the mixed‑use designation accommodates the higher density the applicant proposes.
No vote was recorded at the workshop; public input was opened and closed with no speakers. The item will proceed through the regular rezoning review and public notice process.
