Commission advances Imagine 2045 five-year review, adds resiliency element and posts public input results
Summary
Horry County staff presented a five-year review of the Imagine 2045 comprehensive plan, added a state-required resiliency element and reported 799 public survey responses; the commission moved the update forward after public hearing.
Horry County planning staff briefed the commission on a five-year review of the Imagine 2045 comprehensive plan, highlighting data updates and the addition of a resiliency element that staff said was required by state law. The planner reported that public outreach included two public meetings and an online survey that produced 799 total responses and said the draft plan and supporting story map are publicly available on the county website for review.
During public input, a resident asked whether the comp plan would stop rezoning activity; staff emphasized the plan is a guiding document used to evaluate rezoning requests rather than an absolute bar to change and explained that annexations by cities are a separate process beyond the county comp plan's control. The planner said resilience mapping drew on multiple datasets and that the draft will remain available for comments as the formal adoption process moves forward.
The commission voted to accept the five-year review and continue with the adoption process as outlined by staff.
