Committee recommends denial of rezoning for 907 Highway 14 in Simpsonville
Summary
The committee denied a request to rezone a 0.57‑acre parcel at 907 Highway 14 from R‑15 to C‑1 for use as a business office; staff and the planning commission recommended denial because the request conflicted with the county comprehensive plan’s suburban neighborhood land‑use designation.
The Planning & Development Committee voted Aug. 3 to deny CZ‑2026‑033, a request to rezone a 0.57‑acre parcel at 907 Highway 14 in Simpsonville from R‑15 (single‑family residential) to C‑1 (commercial) for a proposed business office.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommended denial, saying the requested C‑1 classification would not be consistent with the county comprehensive plan’s suburban neighborhood future land‑use designation and with surrounding zoning. The presenter told the committee the existing structure currently contains a single‑family home and that the applicant has pursued setback variances with the Board of Zoning Appeals and might later seek a different district. Councilmember Mitchell said he had concerns about ingress and egress and would have voted against the rezoning.
The committee denied the request by voice vote; the applicant may pursue alternative zoning or variances as noted in the presentation.
Next steps: the applicant may pursue Board of Zoning Appeals relief or reapply with a different zoning request; the denial was recorded as the committee's recommendation to full council.
