BACKGROUND:
This case is a request to amend the Zoning Map of Union County by rezoning one parcel of land totaling 4.808 acres appearing on the tax map as tax parcel 08-312-017B in the Goose Creek Township from RA-40 to Light Industrial (LI) with Conditions. The applicant requests the rezoning in order to develop an outdoor storage facility with 90 spaces for recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats. The rezoning will include the following conditions:
1) Limited to site plan dated July 2, 2024
2) Five-year vesting of development rights
3) Stormwater facility will meet 2 and 25 year storm events.
4) Development will meet all requirements of the Union County Unified Development Ordinance
A community meeting was held August 6, 2024. A total of 12 residents attended the meeting. They expressed concerns about water contamination from oils leaking from stored vehicles, glare from lights, and impacts on property values. The applicant removed 45 spaces along Rock Hill Church Road as a result of the meeting.
Stallings was consulted for comments. They oppose the proposed use, stating that it is not near their industrial or automotive uses identified in their land use map.
Over 25 residents have emailed comments opposing the proposed rezoning, citing water contamination, noise, light pollution and impact on property values.
The Land Use Board unanimously recommended denial of the proposed rezoning at its August 20, 2024, meeting, citing traffic, impact on property values, and inconsistency with nearby residential uses. Twelve residents spoke in opposition at the Land Use Board meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
