Florence board grants special exception for manufactured, modular home sales in C‑3 zoning with drainage condition
Summary
The Florence mayor and board approved a special exception allowing manufactured and modular home sales, including a permanent building, in a C‑3 zoning district, contingent on City Engineer Tim Parker approving the proposed drainage system. The motion passed unanimously after presentations by Spartan Housing and city staff.
The Florence mayor and board voted May 5 to grant a special exception allowing manufactured and modular home sales, including a permanent building, in a C‑3 commercial zoning district, contingent on approval of the proposed drainage system by City Engineer Tim Parker.
Brent McCrory, president of Spartan Housing, LLC, presented facts in support of the special‑use request. Community Development Director Joel Sims presented written findings and recommended approval; Tim Parker provided the city engineer's professional opinion before the board closed the public hearing and returned to regular session.
On Sims's recommendation Alderman Brian Grantham moved, and Alderman Brent Sistrunk seconded, the motion to grant the conditional use with the drainage contingency. The motion was carried unanimously.
The approval allows Spartan Housing's proposed sales operation to proceed in the C‑3 district only after the city's engineer signs off on the site drainage; the board did not set additional conditions in the minutes. The item was introduced during the meeting's public hearing portion and drew no other public speakers, according to the record.
Next steps recorded in the minutes are engineer review of the proposed drainage system and administrative follow up to implement the conditional use.
