Planning commission approves official‑map addition and zoning text amendments, including Highway 17 South overlay changes
Summary
Commission adopted an official‑map addition for the I‑73 corridor and approved text amendments to rename the Highway 17 South overlay, remove multifamily as a permitted use there and allow transportation/distribution uses in the Highway Commercial district.
The planning commission approved an official‑map addition for the I‑73 corridor intended to identify current and future roadway improvements and facilitate right‑of‑way protection. Staff said the official‑map designation allows government agencies to negotiate before additional permits or zoning approvals are granted.
In related text amendments, staff proposed renaming the Highway 17 Business South overlay to the Highway 17 South overlay, removing multifamily as a permitted use within the overlay, and adding a maximum height of 35 feet. A separate amendment would allow the transportation and distribution portion of bulk‑materials storage in the Highway Commercial zoning district. Staff opened and closed public input and the commission voted to approve the text changes and the official‑map action.
