Council approves second reading of Ordinance 16-2025 to rezone farm property to multi-residential
Summary
Horry County Council approved Ordinance 16-2025 on second reading to rezone specified PINs from commercial forest/agriculture to multi-residential; a council member described the site as a generational farm and supported allowing the family to sell.
On second reading, the Horry County Council voted to amend the official zoning map for Horry County by approving Ordinance 16-2025, which rezones specified PINs from commercial forest/agriculture to multi-residential district. After the chair asked for public comment and none was offered, Council Member Pawsey spoke in favor, describing the parcel as a generational farm whose owners want to sell and noting earlier nearby projects that shifted into the city; the council then voted to approve the ordinance unanimously.
Pawsey said the family should be allowed to sell the property and noted the county will not necessarily benefit if neighboring developments are rejected and later annexed by the city. The chair instructed that a related development agreement would be taken up next; the ordinance passed with no recorded opposition.
