Council votes and deferrals reshape several rezoning and map items, including a vote against placing I‑73 on the official map
Summary
Council deferred multiple rezoning items pending development agreements, voted no on a Diamond Shores rezoning (Ordinance 106‑2024) after community feedback, and rejected third reading of Ordinance 70‑2024 to add Interstate 73 to the county's official map; Resolution R‑115 tied to the corridor was not taken.
Horry County Council considered several land‑use ordinances and made a mix of deferrals, first‑readings and recorded "nays" on individual items during tonight's meeting.
The chair opened first readings for ordinance amendments to the future land use and official zoning maps for PIN 25800000003 (Ordinances 109‑2024 and 110‑2024). Multiple members asked to defer final action on those items "until the development agreement can catch up," and the council voted to defer ordinance 110‑2024 until the accompanying development agreement is complete.
A consent item (Ordinance 106‑2024, Diamond Shores / agent for D.R. Horton et al.) was pulled for discussion and — after what one council member described as "overwhelming feedback" from the community — a motion to approve failed when members voted "nay." The transcript records a council member asking colleagues to join in a "no" vote based on community opposition.
Council also took third reading of Ordinance 70‑2024 to add Interstate 73 to the official index map and split the companion Resolution R‑115. Councilman Allen urged colleagues not to penalize private property owners and explained that approval of local revenue measures ("Bridal 4"/Ride 4) is separate from mapping for a possible interstate. After discussion, the council recorded a "nay" on Ordinance 70‑2024 and did not take a separate vote on R‑115.
Several other first readings (including Ordinances 111/112 and 114) were held; Ordinance 114 received a "nay" on first reading and was not advanced at that time.
