Council approves rezoning ordinance easing multifamily allowance at contested intersection

Horry County Council · October 7, 2025

Summary

On second reading the council approved Ordinance 92-2025-G to amend official zoning maps; Dr. Dukes said rezoning from R E 3 to R E 4 would remove multifamily as an allowable use and reduce potential traffic impacts at Highway 9 and 57.

At its Oct. 7 meeting, Horry County Council held a second reading and public hearing on Ordinance 92-2025-G, a zoning map amendment associated with Normandy Corporation and Creek Associates. Dr. Dukes said the property had previously been zoned R E 3, which allows multifamily development up to 15 units per acre, and that the applicant's request to change the designation to R E 4 would remove multifamily as an allowed use. "We all know the traffic problem that multifamily can bring," Dr. Dukes said, pointing to capacity concerns at the Highway 9 and 57 intersection.

No members of the public spoke on the item. Dr. Dukes moved to approve the ordinance and the council voted to adopt it unanimously. The council record shows no conditions attached in the discussion at the meeting.
