Case # 26-17 | Tax Map # 739-00-00-011 | Zoning Request: Rezone from OI to NC | Acres: 3.01 acres | Council District: 7 - Cloninger | Applicant: David Hudspeth | Owner: Williams Road Holdings, LLC | Location: 1545 Williams Road, Fort Mill | Planning Commission Date: May 11, 2026 | Staff Recommendation: Approve | PC Recommendation: Approve (6-0) Executive Summary: The purpose of the request is to develop one or two multi-tenant buildings. Future uses could include the existing property owner's office, small-scale medical offices, artisan studios, neighborhood scale retail, or other personal services. The request to rezone from OI to NC is consistent with the future land use map designation of Single Family Residential. Since the parcel is located adjacent to a parcel zoned GC, it meets the adjacency tenet of the Single Family Residential land use designation. The lesser intensive NC zone will limit the potential building footprint of a non-residential development to what is appropriate for an area with suburban residences nearby. A staff report and analysis with findings has been performed.

Case # 26-18 | Tax Map # 571-00-00-001 | Zoning Request: Rezone from RMX-10 to RUD | Acres: 33.95 | Council District: 2 - Litten | Applicant: James Britt and Amy D Springs | Owner: WF Papke III Income/Expense LLC | Location: 5082 Windmill Lane, Clover | Planning Commission Date: May 11, 2026 | Staff Recommendation: Approve | PC Recommendation: Approve (6-0) Executive Summary: The purpose of the request is to construct a homestead and barn for livestock and general agricultural use. The request to rezone from RMX-10 to RUD does not align with the future land use map designation of Single Family Residential. However, the property abuts the Rural Residential future land use designation, as well as other RUD properties. Further, the current RMX-10 zone allows a housing density that is not appropriate for the area or expected within the FLU. A staff report and analysis with findings has been performed.
