Eddie Bernard, Michele Canon
Mr. Bustos called the meeting to order at 10:00 am.
1. Approval of Minutes from the April 30, 2018 meeting and the May 9, 2018
special meeting.
Mr. O’Rourke moved for approval of the minutes. Ms. Whitley seconded the
motion. All in favor.
2. Public Comments
Ms. Laurie Bixler, 144 3rd Avenue, expressed concern with proposed changes to
short-term rental regulations. She suggested that there should be an advisory
committee to work on this issue. She stated that she has had short-term rentals
since 2009 before AirBnB was established and has paid the appropriate taxes the
entire time. She agreed that there should be reasonable legislation regarding
short-term rentals. She suggested that those existing short-term rental properties
like hers should be grandfathered in and allowed to remain.
Mr. George Bixler, 144 3rd Avenue, stated that short-term rental regulations should
be accomplished in a sensible and logical manner. He stated that there can be
controlled regulated rentals and asked that short-term rentals be allowed to
continue.
Mr. Kevin Haim, Walk-a-way Stays, stated that he has several short-term rental
properties in the Town. He stated that there are approximately fifty people a day
that are moving to the area as well as events such as weddings occurring on a daily
basis that need temporary housing. He suggested that the short-term rentals
should be allowed but regulated. He stated that he pays all appropriate taxes
associated with the short-term rentals. He suggested that regulations such as
requiring business licenses, taxes, etc. should be considered and implemented for
Planning Committee

all short-term rentals. He suggested that the regulation should include
consideration for those that are legally existing.
Ms. Laurie Bauer, 506 Live Oak Dr, stated that she owns a duplex that is rented as
a short-term rental and has done well. She suggested that requiring the owner to
live on the property is too onerous and should not be a requirement. She stated
that she pays all the appropriate sales and accommodation taxes. She expressed
concern with the loss of income if she cannot continue with her short-term rental.
She suggested that food service should not be a requirement to have short-term
rental. She suggested that a different zoning classification could be considered for
short-term rentals.
Ms. Chavonne Wren, 3607 Colonel Vanderhorst, stated that there is a stigma with
having short-term rentals in single family neighborhoods as it would mean more
transients and there would be loud parties. She suggested that short-term rentals
are ideal for those wanting to stay longer than a few days in a hotel such as
grandparents visiting family, stays associated with events such as golf tournaments,
etc. She suggested that limiting short-term rentals for stays of a month or more
might be more appropriate.

the scenic highway. He stated that there are invasive vines and plantings that are

that there are Tree Bank Funds that could be utilized. Mr. Bustos asked what
Planning Committee
June 4, 2018
Page 5 of 9
portion SE Spine would be responsible for. Mr. DeMoura answered that he was
unsure, but suggested that this could be discussed.
Mr. Ulma stated that this would be a recommendation to SCDOT. He stated that
while mitigation could not be planted in the same area, there is an opportunity to
provide some restoration to the area.
Mr. Bustos stated that he would be interested in seeing what the project would
entail.
Mr. Brimmer asked the reason for the request and if a different use on the property
would trigger the same result. Mr. Bernard answered that the transportation
improvements were required due to the development of this site as outlined in the
planned development (PD) document. Mr. DeMoura added that any development
of the site would require the improvements.
Mr. Bustos asked if this could be deferred to next month.
Mr. Ron Crump and Mr. Jerry Trainor, reviewed the request. Mr. Crump stated that
any improvements to the hospital site would trigger these transportation
improvements. He stated that the utilities for the area must be relocated as well.
Mr. Bustos asked if the utility improvements would help correct the drainage issues
in the area. Mr. Crump answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Brimmer asked if different improvements were considered. Mr. Crump
answered in the affirmative and stated that other alignments would further impact
trees in the buffer.
Ms. Whitley asked if there would be mitigation required. Mr. Crump answered that
no mitigation is currently required. Mr. DeMoura answered that some mitigation
would be required; however, removal of the vines would be necessary to protect
the area. Mr. Trainor stated that they are willing to work with staff. He asked that
the approval be given with working with staff on mitigation and restoration.
Mr. O’Rourke agreed that the restoration should be done in conjunction with the
tree removal. Mr. DeMoura suggested that a mitigation plan could possibly be
drafted before Town Council.
Planning Committee

Page 6 of 9

regulations
Ms. Canon provided an update to the Committee. She stated that draft

Mr. Bustos expressed concern with advertising the public hearing prior to
being reviewed by the Committee. He asked if a pending ordinance doctrine
could be put in place. Mr. DeMoura answered in the affirmative.
Mr. O’Rourke suggested that this is a very controversial issue and suggested
that the issue should not be “rushed”. He suggested that the public hearing
should be done in August.
Ms. Whitley suggested that other municipalities have limited the number of
permits available for short-term rentals and have a bid process for those
permits. She suggested that a similar system might be appropriate for the
Town and should be considered.
Mr. Brimmer agreed that time should be taken to sufficiently review the
amendments. Mr. Bustos agreed.
The Committee agreed that the public hearing should be held in August.

The Committee agreed that the public hearing should be held in July.
d. Urban Corridor Overlay District (UCOD) and various ordinance changes
Ms. Canon provided an update to the Committee.
Mr. Bustos suggested that rezoning would be the best option for removing
single family from the UC-OD, but does not want to have a more intensive
residential use.
Ms. Whitley asked what is existing. Ms. Canon answered that there is a
mixture of uses.
Mr. DeMoura suggested that the intention was not to allow residential on
property that had underlying commercial zoning. Mr. Bustos agreed and
stated that the intention was not to have additional apartments on a
commercial property.
Ms. Whitley suggested that this would be an onerous effort. Mr. DeMoura
suggested that removing the ability to have residential uses on a commercial
property would be a simple effort. Ms. Canon agreed. Mr. Bustos agreed that
removing the ability to have residential on a property that has an underlying
commercial zoning should be accomplished.
Mr. Ulma stated that there may be some properties that having underlying
residential zoning. He suggested that this could be reviewed after the initial
amendments are completed to determine how they should be handled.
The Committee agreed to the amendments as discussed.
e. Future Zoning Code Text Amendments (Wireless communications
facilities, signs, etc.)
Ms. Canon stated that staff has several text amendments that will go to the
Planning Commission in June and then forwarded to the Committee in July.
Planning Committee
June 4, 2018
Page 9 of 9
She stated that these amendments would include changes to the sign
ordinance regarding political signs and the addition of allowing small cell
wireless facilities.
Mr. Brimmer asked about changes to the annexation procedures. Mr. Ulma
answered that staff needs direction on whether to move forward with this and how
the annexation and initial zoning would occur. Mr. Brimmer suggested that this
should be further discussed at next month’s meeting to provide staff with
additional guidance.
Mr. Bustos suggested that some type of growth management plan should be
determined so that it can be put quickly in place if needed.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:22 am.

Action to be Taken:
recommendation is forwarded to the Planning & Development Committee and Town Council.

• Request to Amend the “Neighborhood Standards” for the I’On PD, primarily
to reduce the three (3) different “Building Types” to one (1) based on prior
administrative determinations
• Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval

A. The three building types in the PD continue to apply (effectively,
denying the applicants’ request)

would add appropriate language, or
