[0:14] And let's move on to approval of meeting minutes as everyone on the board had a chance to

[0:22] take a quick look at the meeting minutes. Yes.

[0:23] any questions? >> okay. So on the emotion motion to

[0:29] approve a second. All those in favor say any opposed?

[0:33] all right. Motion passes. Moving on to street names.

[0:41] >> we have everything today. Yep. In the car.

[0:42] my postal district in 29526 in pencil point we have scudder drive branch street, sprague

[0:49] way and outer street in piper. So district two now about two seven and inglewood phases one

[0:56] and two we have burbridge drive garcia loop lish street mare drive and we're circle in

[1:04] aigner galvin's very postal district 29544 and 29511 in hutch track we have deer meadow

[1:11] way white deer ridge road, white ridge drive and wildflower ville caught in the

[1:19] law supposed to district 29569 and sell the towns we have tommy b loop okay no public

[1:29] input required can anyone make a motion to approve motion to approve a second second.

[1:34] >> all those in favor? >> any opposed? All right.

[1:40] motion carries moving on to rezonings first on the list development agreement.

[1:44] >> so this development agreement coincides with the rezoning request how I on a

[1:52] farm and I'll very I'm going to run through them together if you want to but we need to do

[1:56] public input on the development frame after I get through it. >> yeah.

[2:00] so the development agreement proposes a max unit count of 372 single family homes with

[2:07] a minimum lot size of 7000ft in a maximum building height of 40ft.

[2:11] the development agreement also commits to naturally force or program buffers varying and

[2:18] width from 100 foot to 200 foot. They are donating 1.21 acres

[2:21] of land for expansion of the existing fire station their proposed walking trails their

[2:25] plan to relocate existing unimproved roadway to maintain access to the adjacent property

[2:32] they're proposing no lots in the floodplain and they're proposing a list of offsite

[2:37] road improvements including a left and right turn lane on. None of have a left lane a left

[2:44] turn lane on this very road a right turn lane on highway not a52 over east ferry and a

[2:47] traffic signal at the intersection of highway none of have an already ferry there

[2:52] plan to reserve 25 foot a right of way for the widening of highway none of the

[2:57] commercial developers also committed to install on a right turn lane on and off and

[3:02] contributing $200,000 to the cost of the traffic signal and they're also planning to

[3:07] reserve 25 foot around way for the widening of highway none of and they're also proposing a

[3:11] $5,800 fee per lot to horry county you want me to go through the rezoning to now

[3:19] what would you prefer that's for joe baskins requesting to rezone 186.84 acre portion from

[3:25] f to m p for 372 town our single family homes on highway 95 and always ferry existing

[3:32] zone in the areas predominately f I with some residential and some commercial zoning future

[3:40] land use designation and see it in conservation and rural communities so it's currently

[3:44] vacant. So here's the plan showing the 372 single family units with

[3:51] the gross density of 1.99 dwelling units an acre and a net density of 2.31 dwelling

[3:56] units maker the plan proposes three sustainable development criteria sidewalks 100%

[4:02] increase in that of open space and eight pocket parks also being proposed is a 200 foot

[4:07] naturally forested streetscape buffer along highway 95 and always very road 100 foot and

[4:10] actually force a buffers around the perimeter of the project six foot wide walking trails

[4:14] access to the existing private road and a list of traffic improvements specified in the

[4:21] dia and traffic study. >> here's the key wetland delineation the proposed 9.07

[4:29] acres of will on impact the property is in the supplemental 584 zones on the rear public

[4:39] notice map and if you set conditions one is the applicant here today.

[4:47] thank you sir. As usual, grossman did a great job of summarizing both the

[4:55] development agreement and the rezoning but it wasn't obvious and he had a large hand in the

[4:59] development agreement because all the traffic improvements are included there.

[5:03] we're at the same density as actually you'd be at it if I because of the half half acre

[5:07] lots. However they're compressed as you've seen in other imhotep's

[5:11] to create those buffers around the project. It's not a complicated project

[5:14] fairly simple I think the the traffic out there justifies the traffic improvements including

[5:21] the traffic light. So thank you very much. >> thank you.

[5:26] any questions? He needs to put his name on the record.

[5:27] oh please put your name out there. I've gotten 46 of bob oleander

[5:33] drive in myrtle beach. >> thank you. Okay, now I'm going to open to

[5:37] public input. You should do three, four, three against anybody want to

[5:40] speak on behalf of this project and I'm I've got a couple of state

[5:56] o'leary's ferry I have a question on the. I know you can answer on the

[6:01] first page of the agreement and then add on implies that pin number for that 4.1 acre one

[6:05] eight acres of the property for a commercial development wants to develop in number nine

[6:10] of the agreement. It says a county has agreed to a contribution of $200,000

[6:14] towards the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection at highway 95 and

[6:17] o'leary's ferry road. It's unclear from the documents if upon county council vote to

[6:21] approve this rezoning and signatures for the development agreement that the 4.18 acre

[6:28] property that is zoned faa is guaranteed to be reserved for commercial use for the

[6:33] developer. I'm not saying it is I'm saying it's unclear.

[6:37] if that's true then I believe it should be presented or we county residents as such

[6:41] including what the commercial use will be in order for our community to have complete

[6:45] information to form an opinion on the rezoning presented to us.

[6:48] >> thank you. Thank you. Anybody else?

[6:56] okay. Close public input. I do want to bring up to you

[7:01] you know, I think that santa so he he can clarify his opinion is different than mine but the

[7:08] commercial developer was included in this day solely for the purpose of the contribution

[7:15] towards the light and the reservation of the right away. They're not guaranteed any

[7:18] rezoning by way of the development agreement itself. >> thank you.

[7:23] I just wanted to add the use that the commercial developer was proposing is allowed in the

[7:27] current zoning allowed him to I don't have to rezone. >> okay.

[7:32] thank you. All right. We'll move on to the second.

[7:37] we have c ranch at circle

[7:47] . >> so they're requesting a feature land use map amendment

[7:52] with this one I'm going to run through them together. Map is requesting to amend the

[7:55] future land use designation from suburban to mixed use now because request murray's on

[8:03] 1.23 acres from how a commercial to m r b three 413 for example townhomes on ranch

[8:07] it's our home for all drive in myrtle beach the existing zoning the area is

[8:11] predominantly commercial with some residential to the north feature land use designation is

[8:18] suburban and commercial corridors so it's currently vacant.

[8:21] here's the plan on the 13 b simple townhomes with a gross density of 10.57 dwelling units

[8:29] and your plan proposes to sustainable development criteria sidewalks and a 1200

[8:33] square foot community garden. The plan also proposes a 25 foot top c streetscape for a

[8:38] long range circle a ten foot taxi streetscape along four wheel drive and a five foot top

[8:44] b buffer on the remaining side and rear of the property. It's not within a flood zone.

[8:48] poet notice map and a few site conditions. All right, great.

[8:55] the applicant here today your name and address for the record caitlin weber with g three

[9:03] engineering and polly's island. >> grayson did a great job of presenting.

[9:06] I'm just here to see if anyone has any questions about the project.

[9:07] it's really well explained. >> all right. Any questions for the

[9:14] applicant? One question I had you want to get answered is the changing

[9:18] the classification to mixed use what's what's the trigger of that versus leaving it as is

[9:25] and put in the residential and is that not allowed? >> and so the proposed density

[9:28] would exceed what's allowed for the suburban designation which is 3 to 7 and they're proposing

[9:34] 10.57. So mixed use is more appropriate designation given

[9:39] for that density project. >> okay. Thank you.

[9:42] all right. Thank you. You got it.

[9:45] okay. This time open public input. Anybody want to speak for or

[9:50] against or questions? Okay, I'll close public input. Moving right along we'll go to

[9:56] number nine sophie grayson napkins requested a petroleum use map amendment as well.

[10:07] they're requesting to amend the classification from rural to rural communities.

[10:15] I'm going to run through them together at this request and a reason to point four acres from

[10:19] lfa to image. So 14.5 to subdivide for five single family homes the

[10:25] existing zoning in the areas bramley lfa with some seven in close proximity to trina's

[10:29] designations rural and rural communities. So it's currently residential.

[10:35] here's the plat showing the proposed subdivision into five lots.

[10:39] it's not within a flood zone public notice map and a few seconds.

[10:47] >> all right, thanks. Grayson is the commuter name and for the record please just

[10:54] yield 315 main street. >> grayson thanks. Your presentation is here to

[10:59] answer some questions. I'm getting any. Anybody have any questions for

[11:02] the applicant? Okay. All right.

[11:05] thank you. All right. Next up 001 napkins requesting

[11:15] a freeze on 3.4 acres from cfa to three for for commercial uses on highway nine and loans.

[11:21] this request is within the highway 57 resolution area existing existence on the areas

[11:27] predominantly pd with commercial along the nine corridor between these

[11:30] designations suburban sites currently vacant. Here's the proposed

[11:37] reconfiguration that they're looking to do to the properties as the reason they're rezoning

[11:41] it because they can't reconfigure it with different zoning classifications ones

[11:46] asking for one cfa not within a flood zone public notice map and a few site conditions that

[11:56] all right see I'm here today shep guyton again 46 of rb oleander drive this is very

[12:04] similar to the project I had with you a couple of months ago where we had combined parcels

[12:10] of different zoning districts in order to create what will be a commercial convenience center

[12:15] layer. We have to consolidate that zoning under one use part

[12:19] of it's already already four so the request is to make the balance of it already for

[12:23] understanding that does fall in the highway 57 overlay which makes staff support difficult

[12:27] but we understand that. Okay. Thank you.

[12:31] any any questions for the outcome? All right.

[12:34] thank you. Thank you all right. >> moving right along 003 oh

[12:42] afghans request an arizona three acre portion from f eight as a 42 combined property on

[12:46] donor salt road and garment's very existence on the area is predominantly ffa with some as

[12:53] a 40 jason petro and designation as rural site is currently vacant.

[12:59] here's the proposed plat it's not within a flood zone public notice map and few site

[13:08] conditions and q is the applicant to that ashley cowan diamond shores and grace and

[13:18] pretty much explain the whole thing. It's a minor subdivision on the

[13:23] bottom they're selling to the property owner slightly north from here to combine with the

[13:29] sod farm that's existing as a $40. >> happy to answer any

[13:33] questions any questions for the applicant. All right.

[13:36] thanks for coming. See you next week. All right.

[13:40] moving right along 004 the applicant request nouri's own 5.68 acres from highway,

[13:46] commercial and emissive to ag three for commercial center on how I favor one and both circle

[13:53] and carmi existing zoning areas predominately ffa and cfa with some residential adjacent

[14:00] future land use designations rural communities so it's currently residential it's not

[14:05] within a flood zone notice map and a few site conditions. >> all right thanks.

[14:15] how can I actually karen diamond shores could you put me back in the area this perfect I

[14:25] just want to point out a couple of things. This site slightly north at 501

[14:32] is farm bureau insurance so it's also highway commercial. I'm just pointing out some

[14:37] other commercial uses. This site right here is actually a furniture store even

[14:43] though it is sfr myself 20 it's also a commercial use slightly down the road here you also

[14:51] have the flooring connection and ag three zoning district and you also have professional

[14:58] roofing which is the rv for slightly down the road and right here you have an ag to

[15:03] zoning use. >> you don't have the site plan in front of you but it has been

[15:09] submitted for a commercial sketch plan review. I'd be happy to bring that with

[15:13] me at the next meeting or maybe staff can include it in the slideshow for you but the

[15:17] entire northern portion of the site is actually wetlands so when we come in with the with

[15:25] the site plan you'll see that this portion right here is the only portion that's going to be

[15:29] used for development. I think we've got 16 units for the trade shop with associated

[15:36] parking and then pond and wetlands up here. So it's not going to be

[15:41] completely filled with with trade shop and I would be happy to answer any questions that

[15:48] you have. >> all right. Thank you.

[15:49] any questions? >> all right. Thank you.

[15:55] okay. On to the next one, grayson 005 napkins request trees on one

[16:02] acre from cfa 2 or 3 for quick service restaurant oh, how am I?

[16:06] 544 and comma existing zoning in the areas predominantly cfa with a mix of residential and

[16:10] commercial along how I 544 peachtree land use designation suburban that's currently

[16:17] vacant. Here's the site plan showing the proposed use it's not

[16:24] within a flood zone notice map and a few site conditions. >> okay the argument from thank

[16:31] you grace and excellent job and thanks for putting the site plan up for me.

[16:38] I think it's noted in the staff review that this is a use that can existing we happen on the

[16:43] cfa zoning. What the applicant is trying to do is make sure that they can

[16:47] get in this double loaded parking as is right now with the current zoning this would

[16:54] have to be parallel parking which doesn't meet the parking requirements of the fast food

[16:58] chain that they're trying to put in. As you know if you've been down

[17:02] this section of 544, there's also a waffle house two parcels up.

[17:07] >> oh, perfect. Thank you. Oh, that's good waffle house

[17:14] right here a bojangles just a little bit further down and you've also got a mcdonald's

[17:18] and a dunkin. Those are the only eating establishments until you get to

[17:23] the food lion or a little further up near the university where they've got some of the

[17:28] other eating, I'm happy to answer any questions or any questions for the applicant.

[17:35] all right. Thank you. All right, chris and 006

[17:41] applicants requesting a reason 3.57 acres from faa to ag to for boat and rv storage on

[17:49] spring beauty drive and conway existence on the area is predominately for with some

[17:53] served in an emergency one and closed proximity feature land use designations rural sites

[17:59] currently vacant is not within flood zone notice map conditions okay and as the

[18:07] applicant here today

[18:13] the name and address of the record please henrietta 1017 third

[18:19] avenue. >> thank you. Anything on that?

[18:22] no. Sure. I'm just here if we got any

[18:24] questions. Got any questions? Okay.

[18:26] any questions on this one for the applicant. Appreciate it.

[18:29] see you next week. Thank you. All right.

[18:33] moving right along 007 after applicants requesting a reason 23.26 acre portion from cfa to

[18:42] ari four for commercial uses on sam ridge road and bartell road off providence parkway in

[18:47] little river existence on the area is cfa and some residential may 7th and six

[18:57] withdrawing his designations mixed use the site is currently vacant.

[19:04] >> the parcel is within the right away acquisition area for a right for project at robert

[19:08] ridge parkway and sam ridge road connector. It's not within a flood zone

[19:16] public notice map and a few site conditions. All right.

[19:21] thank you. Grayson is the applicant here all right.

[19:24] >> mark sharp going again. This is one of those projects we've been working on for

[19:29] several months because it is part of the road for project. There's an existing use to the

[19:36] left of the proposed right away that's medical in nature owned by a medical provider.

[19:40] so we've continued to work with staff, try to find the best solution so we don't interfere

[19:45] and actually enhance what goes on the road for that first step was actually getting the zoning

[19:49] in place for what we intend that used to be. So that's why we're in front

[19:53] of you today. All right. Any questions for the applicant

[19:55] today? We'll see you next week. Thank you.

[19:59] thank you. Okay. Moving on.

[20:03] next up we have a development agreement. Good afternoon, roger.

[20:14] union deputy director. I'm going to go over this development agreement.

[20:18] >> this is a standalone development agreement. There's no rezoning associated

[20:22] with this. So this is for the pine ridge residential tract as you can

[20:26] see on the slide there's a lot of text you can imagine how big the agreement is.

[20:29] so this one was for 700 plus acres and for a time period of ten years and this is along

[20:39] the columbus parkway. So the agreement came into place when the council has a

[20:46] pending ordinance for amendment and now the work with the developer and everything and we

[20:53] got a few proposals in there which would all be going through so the first one would

[20:58] be reserving approximately 125ft wide right of way for the building and the improvements

[21:05] for the building and then that should be completed before two 100 permits and then grasslands

[21:10] connect to improvements. That's a part of it and there's a separate ridge road project

[21:16] agreement which has its own design standards and permitting and constructions to be

[21:20] completed by the developer and that is for the road project corridor.

[21:25] I'll show you in the next slide and there's another item which would be the 17 bypass traffic

[21:31] signal improvements and intersection. So this is the proposed road

[21:35] corridor which would be 125ft all along and there are a few funding sources that are

[21:42] identified in the agreement which would be a multi-county business park and the municipal

[21:46] improvement district and also a part unit fee of $5,800 which would be generated for the

[21:54] project and the agreement also has a provision for additional park acreage for the county

[21:59] recreation facility which would before occurs and the total residential units will not

[22:06] increase more than 2000. Not all the major. Okay.

[22:08] thank you. I will now open this up for public input.

[22:13] anybody want to any input? Okay I'll close public input. No vote on this.

[22:23] right. Good. Okay.

[22:23] moving right along. We're into text amendments. >> we're back over

[22:37] . >> all right, so this text amendment is about the zoning

[22:42] board of appeals and variances as you all are familiar, we just updated our landscape and

[22:46] buffer ordinance right now currently within the ordinance within as far as what the

[22:53] zoning board of appeals can do with variances, they cannot grant a variance on any major

[22:58] developments. >> so what this would allow is within two thirds vote the

[23:04] zoning board of appeals could allow some variances, would still prohibit variances on the

[23:09] types the streetscape buffers associated with major development but it would allow

[23:13] relief on type and be buffers up to a maximum of 50% so that that's it.

[23:21] okay. Thank you very much. Anybody have any questions now?

[23:26] okay. >> moving right along. Imagine 2040 comprehensive plan

[23:35] . Okay. >> okay.

[23:39] so we have our industrial corridors which you all have become really familiar with

[23:44] over the last couple of meetings. >> this is our project

[23:48] timeline. We are currently in step six of the process.

[23:51] we are in the 30 day public comment period and today is just another instance of when

[23:55] the public will be able to come and speak about the industrial corridors and give us their

[24:00] input. >> we have we opened the survey in march and the survey does

[24:05] still remain open today and we've received a few additional responses.

[24:10] we're up to 100 and 102 total responses if anybody's watching and I'm taking survey, please

[24:14] do. That's only one way we've been gathering public input.

[24:21] we've had two public open houses today in those public open houses we do some mapping

[24:25] exercises and other things to gather input from the public and get their feedback.

[24:32] >> so just a couple things here is some overview of industries that we currently have within

[24:40] our county. It would be no surprise tourism industries are our top

[24:44] employment industries currently with accommodations and food service and then retail being

[24:49] the next one. Other high ranking employment industries that we have are

[24:55] construction. >> so let's just to give a idea of where we're at and what

[24:59] industries we currently have so the next thing here is what does horry county consider

[25:10] industrial? So I want to open by saying that this time does centers are

[25:14] not allowed in our zoning ordinance at all so when we talk about light and heavy

[25:22] industrial light, industrial is all things like food and beverage manufacturing,

[25:26] warehousing and wholesale distribution vehicle and equipment repair and two yards

[25:33] and how industrial is things like that plant and asphalt plants I'm cost saying and

[25:40] heavier manufacturing uses so why did we need this change so you can see on this map the

[25:48] star indicates our economic activity center which is currently the only future land

[25:53] use designation that we have staff and sport industrial rezoning that the red that you

[25:59] see around it is major residential developments that are either in progress or have

[26:04] recently been approved and they're encroaching into those economic activity centers which

[26:08] then limits the ability of staff to support rezonings. We have to meet certain

[26:12] separation requirements for industrial or residential. So another thing is over the

[26:19] years we've seen existing residential start backwards and existing industrial be

[26:26] encroached upon by residential development. >> what industrial corridors

[26:31] will do is create a dedicated space for future industrial development.

[26:38] >> the other thing we've seen some questions on is what about existing residential that may

[26:42] be within those industrial corridors any rezoning would still have to comply with the

[26:47] separation requirements in our zoning ordinance. So for like a heavy industrial

[26:54] of our zoning ordinance intent statement says that m three has to be 1000ft from residential

[26:57] so those things wouldn't be would still be considered by staff as part of the rezoning

[27:04] process if there is residential inside of an industrial corridor staff would support

[27:09] lighter industrial or some transition uses like business parks to transition to the

[27:16] heavier industrial within those industrial corridors and as part of this residential

[27:20] development will generally be discouraged within these corridors that it could be

[27:24] mitigated through buffering or other compatibility measures to make those more suitable within

[27:31] or adjacent to the corridors but generally would be discouraged see so other

[27:38] reasons why this matters and why don't we for the voters approve the ride for

[27:43] transportation program the plan transit transportation improvements total

[27:50] approximately $6.6 billion and these projects will require significant amounts

[27:54] of materials such as asphalt and concrete and right now we have a limited number of actual

[27:59] asphalt plants limited supply can affect the pricing and availability of materials and

[28:02] by identify an appropriate locations for a future industrial development

[28:07] industrial corridors can create or may create opportunities for these types of uses where they

[28:13] are appropriate and meet zoning requirements and then it's jumping around suitability

[28:21] model. So we did a suitability model to determine where these

[28:25] industrial corridors were suitable. We looked at things like

[28:29] wetlands, roads, major roads, railroads, residential and flood zones and we assign those

[28:33] things certain weights, flood zones and wetlands were weighted one of the highest the

[28:40] highest category and then roads and residential and we closed out with preference being the

[28:47] least weighted of those things. >> so on the left hand side you see the original suitability

[28:55] model stuff that took that one step further and removed conservation lands fema and

[29:02] supplemental flood zones major residential projects from the suitability model to hone it in

[29:07] further and then we consider the survey results those color bills indicate right is where

[29:15] they did not want to industrial to be and then the yellow and green is where yellow was for

[29:21] light and green is for heavy. So those were areas where they thought light and heavy

[29:26] industrial would be suitable and then we came up with our original first draft of the

[29:31] industrial corridors. >> then we got public comment and in front of all of you is a

[29:36] packet of emails that have been sent to us over the last several weeks from the public

[29:42] about the draft that's been available on our website. >> so we took and compiled the

[29:50] themes that we were seeing within these public inputs and we've seen people ask for more

[29:54] community feedback. They're concerned about lack of the or the loss of the rural

[29:59] character in our community. They have concerns about environmental wetland impacts

[30:02] and the impact on traffic and infrastructure. >> we've also seen some

[30:06] comments in support saying that this will create more jobs and economic development and it

[30:13] will create areas for planned future industrial growth. So we've seen comments and

[30:18] support and comments in opposition and so what we did is we revise the draft

[30:26] industrial corridor areas. >> so on the left hand side we have the original map presented

[30:33] to you all at the last two at the last planning commission workshop and meeting and on the

[30:38] right we have the revised map showing revisions we had made to the industrial corridors

[30:45] that we removed some areas we were in some areas that were designated feature as scenic

[30:53] and conservation and then we added some areas east of north and south of inner where they

[31:00] are now only able to support up to white industrial instead of all the way up heavy
