Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church plans conference center, overnight accommodations in Carolina Forest rezoning request
Summary
A proposal would rezone about 13.41 acres from GR/NC to RH to expand Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church with a conference center and overnight accommodations; staff noted parts of the rear parcel are in an AE flood zone and that deed restrictions or development agreements may pertain to the tract.
Planning staff described a rezoning request of roughly 13.41 acres from GR and NC to RH on Carolina Forest Boulevard to allow a religious/spiritual center and retreat, noting Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Church already occupies the site. The proposal includes a conference center and additional overnight accommodations; staff cautioned portions of the rear parcel are within an AE flood zone and referenced possible deed restrictions and prior development agreements for Carolina Forest that may affect the tract.
When a committee member asked whether a PDD or deed restriction would prohibit sale to nonreligious entities and whether the PDD restricts zoning changes, planning staff said "this parcel is not within a PDD" but indicated there may be deed restrictions and a development agreement that would require further research. The transcript shows no public opposition in the excerpt and no final action on the rezoning during the provided segments.
