1. Call to order
2. Approval of Minutes from the January 3, 2022 meeting
Mr. Chapman moved for approval of the minutes. Ms. Hyatt seconded the
motion. All in favor.
3. Public Comments
Ms. Jane Deierlein, 1018 Lakeview Drive, stated that Mount Pleasant is
gracious, quaint, charming, friendly, and livable. She does not see Mount Pleasant
as big business, commercial, transit, and large hotel complexes. She stated that
she loves the character of the Town and areas such as Shem Creek. She suggested
that this unique character should be preserved and not “given over” to developers.
She suggested that green space should be preserved as this will help preserve the
character of the Town as well as help with flooding and drainage issues. She
suggested that the Comprehensive Plan should be supported and protected.
Mr. Mac Cross, 14896 Goblet Ave, stated that they live near the Gather Mount
Pleasant site at Hungryneck Blvd/Rifle Range Road. He stated that this will be a
mixed-use development that will have a diverse mix of businesses, event space,
green space, lodging, and offices. He stated the proposed boundary for the Hwy
17/I-526 hotel district will bi-sect this property and the proposed hotel will be
outside the hotel district. If approved, it will immensely impact the project. He
asked that the entire Gather Mount Pleasant site be included in the hotel district.
Mr. Jimmy Bagwell, 41 Vincent Drive, stated that the Comprehensive Plan was
approved in 2020 and developed through efforts of the citizens, staff, and Town
Council. He suggested that the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan

should be upheld. He suggested that development should be slowed throughout
the Town. He asked that the ordinance receive final reading.
There being no further comments, Ms. Whitley continued with the agenda.
Ms. Corley entered at this time.

Principal Use Table, and 156.326, Principal Use Conditions. Proposed is to
make Hotels and Boutique Hotels a Conditional Use where currently

Ms. Reed reviewed the request with the Committee.
The Committee agreed that the following changes should be considered prior to
final reading:
➢ Refer to the areas as “hubs”
