Planning commission recommends general-commercial future land use for 0.77-acre College Park Road parcel

The City of Goose Creek Planning Commission voted to recommend an amendment to the city comprehensive plan that would assign a future land-use designation of General Commercial to a newly created 0.77-acre parcel on College Park Road (TMS 2330803059).

Planning staff described the parcel as newly created from former SCDOT right-of-way and said, "The parcel is approximately 0.77 acres," noting its location on College Park Road, a major arterial with an average daily traffic figure discussed by staff. A commissioner moved "to recommend to amend the city of Goose Creek comprehensive plan future land use map to assign future land use to designation of general commercial to T M S 2330803059 located on College Park Road," and the motion was seconded; members responded in the affirmative and the chair announced the motion carried.

The commission's recommendation will be transmitted to the City Council for its consideration as an amendment to the comprehensive plan and future land-use map. Staff framed the request as consistent with the comprehensive plan's guidance that commercial areas be located near major transportation corridors and areas with higher traffic counts. The motion and vote were recorded during the same agenda item; the transcript does not include an individual roll-call tally by commissioner names for this specific vote.

The action changes only the comprehensive-plan future land-use designation; any subsequent rezoning, site-plan approvals, or development permits would require separate proceedings and approvals by the city. No members of the public spoke on this item during the meeting.
