Public comments highlight manufactured housing, open‑space quality and a workforce‑housing study
Summary
Residents and an industry representative urged clarity in the UDO on site‑analysis requirements, tree‑protective buffers, and modern manufactured housing standards; county staff announced an upcoming regional workforce‑housing study presentation.
During the public hearing on the UDO draft, Janine Clifton (local resident) asked that the UDO retain site-analysis and preliminary-plat requirements for commercial subdivisions, strengthen buffer protections for office uses abutting residential neighborhoods, and tighten tree-preservation language so open-space counts are meaningful. She handed a written list of technical edits to staff.
Nicole Robinson, representing the Manufactured Housing Institute of South Carolina, urged the commission to recognize modern manufactured homes as a tool for attainable housing and to align replacement/age language with recent state law; the speaker asked for clearer distinctions between a manufactured‑home park and a subdivision. Deputy County Administrator Stephanie Snowden announced a Kataba Regional workforce‑housing study presentation set for Aug. 26 and noted Tishler Bice will present an impact‑fee update to the commission in September.
