“I always like to start off by a moment of silence to think about our loved ones and those who've gone before us, who've made some sacrifices for us to enjoy some of these great liberties that we have here in South Carolina and across the nation. So we'll take a moment of silence and we'll say a prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you with bow heads and humble hearts. full of thanks and forgiveness. We ask that you continue to watch over us, lead us, and guide us, and direct us to have us do your will. We ask that you bless this meeting so that we do what is right, what is pleasing in…”

“I have a question for staff. Is this change from 4 to 6, is it supposed to happen now or was it supposed to happen earlier and we're just doing it? Are we on schedule? Was this a schedule change?”

“OK. Thank you. I was going to say, so from the onset, this was never involving any commercial property, just residential.”

“Can we get that up on the screen somehow so that those here who are for it and against it can see kinda what some of those restrictions are?”

“Some of the exclusions that may help ease some of the concerns of the neighbors.”

“So while we're waiting on that to upload, I just have a quick question that I wanted to point out. One of the citizens spoke about being residential. If this was a residential property on 24 acres, how many homes approximately or multi-family homes could go on 24 acres?”

“I mean, if they decide to go, they rezone it to residential. If this was a residential piece of property,”

“What I was trying to do is show a comparison of different things that could come here that some people may or may not want. Some people may not want. apartments put there. Some people, man, I want single family residency. I know our schools probably, I don't know how they would feel about it, but just, because sometimes when people don't want something, they don't know the alternative of what could come that could be possibly worse than what they have. Just trying to do a comparison.”

“Can we require TIA before we rezone? Yes. Have we done it in the past?”

“Well, does the staff feel that if this project moves forward, it will cause the road to fail, then throwing them into a bag that says you can't do the project? Is that a concern to staff? I would begin to speculate. So how do we know if we should require TIA before we rezone it?”

“Could we not, because she did, I remember the presenter did show us some traffic information. Could staff not sit with the developer to say, hey, if this is the situation with the traffic count, this road will fail. Or if this effect plays out, this road will still meet a passing law. Because that's basically what a TIA is going to tell you.”

“But sitting with staff wouldn't take six months.”

“Now, keep in mind, the traffic study is not going to eliminate all the other concerns that residents have brought forth. So this thing was just, if we're hinging it on traffic, Let's say we're gonna approve it. If it passes, we're gonna deny it if it fails. But let's don't have a traffic, a TIA done, then come back and say, hey, well, what about this, what about that? If this only hinges on traffic, I'll say let's do the TIA before third reading. But traffic doesn't eliminate the beeping sound that someone brought up, the noise and some of the other variables that have come up. But if we're…”

“Did you say a TIA was six weeks or six months, possibly?”

“Yeah, I think those numbers for this development is far less than what the projected was for the Walmart.”

“Can we go to the slide that shows, I think it had the circular breakdown? Yeah, that one, that one, back. Is that a one year, $4 million collection? Or is that over a period of time?”

“Sure, go ahead. I want to give you your thanks because I know you've always been responsive, and I know you got this short notice and was able to put it together. And as you thank them, we want to thank you for spearheading the whole collaborative effort across the whole county. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.”

“I'll just say I've heard a lot of great things about Narrow Way. I work with a coworker who goes up there all the time. So they got a big Christmas production he always attends and comes back and tells me about it. So a number of great things. I do want to put staff on notice. I would like to hear back on these supposed violation of noise orders going on after the hours that are permitted. That seems to have come up several times over the last couple of months over in the data center area. I would like to know if there's a way that we can Um, I don't know if we can have staff available, but I…”

“So if we do this rezoning, they can't subdivide any parts of it again on a single family?”

“I meant to ask you this on the last one. Are we still allowing them to go from UD to this zoning absolutely free without a fee?”

“Welcome to York County. I know it's a terrible way to welcome you home. Just to give you a little bit of background about the UD zoning and what we're going through. Several years ago, we decided to get rid of the UD zoning, and that's what this property is, because there were so many things that you could put in UD that we didn't want. primarily near residential areas. So we allow residents to come forth and zone out of UD into a residential zone. So that's what we're doing here. I think what will help you in your situation is we have to work with the building. We have to make sure our…”

“I have a quick comment question. So when we did the, and I can't remember off the top of my head, when we do these comprehensive land use plans, do we specifically talk to the property owner to tell them what we're designating their land for in the future? Or is this kind of like a future vision and sometimes the property owner does or doesn't know what we think their property should be?”
County Council · Sep 8, 2026

“Because I'm certain we didn't change the zoning when we did the comp plan. The comp plan is just a vision. We don't change zoning. So this was already zoned this way. It's just the comp plan says we have a vision of this area. That's right. I just wanted to clarify that.”
