Florence board approves special exception for manufactured and modular home sales, ties approval to drainage sign‑off
Summary
The City of Florence granted a special exception to allow manufactured and modular home sales with a permanent building in C‑3 zoning, contingent on the city engineer approving the proposed drainage system. The motion passed unanimously on May 5, 2026.
The Florence Mayor and Board voted May 5 to grant a special exception/conditional use to allow manufactured and modular home sales that include a permanent building in the city’s C‑3 commercial zoning district.
The motion, made by Alderman Brian Grantham and seconded by Alderman Brent Sistrunk, passed unanimously. The board tied its approval to a condition that City Engineer Tim Parker must approve the proposed drainage system before the use becomes effective.
Brent McCrory, identified in the minutes as president of Spartan Housing, LLC, presented facts in support of the request. Community Development Director Joel Sims provided written findings for the board and City Engineer Tim Parker offered his professional opinion on drainage and site implications prior to the vote.
The approval was recorded as a formal motion in the minutes and included the drainage contingency to ensure any stormwater impacts are addressed before sales begin in the C‑3 parcel.
