Richburg (007) Applicant: Nexsen Pruet, LLC TMS#s: 152-00-00-051 and 152-01-02-007 Location: Flood Heirs Road and 116 Flood Heirs Road Description: two parcels, approximately 17 total acres Request: Annexation and zoning to UC-MX The property owners are requesting for the above referenced parcels to be annexed into the Town from Dorchester County. The existing zonings in Dorchester County are MUC, Mixed Use Community District and R-1, Single-Family Residential. These properties are not within the Planning Area as identified within the Summerville: Our Town, Our Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map. The adjacent Limehouse Village PUD does allow for apartments and commercial development in the portions of the development adjacent to the future route of the Berlin G. Myers Parkway, although no apartments will be built. Dorchester County’s Future Land Use Map within their 2018 Comprehensive Plan identifies these properties as Medium Density Traditional Neighborhood. That land use designation supports the integration of higher levels of density, a mix of uses, and a variety of housing types, including apartments. Staff cannot determine whether this request is in conformance with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, as it is outside that boundary; however, it does appear to be largely in conformance with Dorchester County’s Future Land Use Map and the proposed UC-MX zoning is in line with the uses in the approved Limehouse Village PUD on the adjacent property and with Dorchester County’s MUC zoning district, which is the current zoning district for the smaller property. Sewer availability/capacity and coordinating access and connectivity with SCDOT are concerns that will need to be discussed further throughout the development process. The Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and Fiscal Impact Analysis (FIA) have not yet been finalized for this proposed development at this time.  D R G R BU E G AN R O n R /W ten sio E x w ay M P ark B G N EL T K FS F A D RL SR U IR L DH O E DB L FO E VE T SA A E E L L T R S E S RTR P UPE O LDL A N DMA RKL LN N UM R C N A D UCKC IR F ISHE RR D B EAT YLN Z onin g P L P U D A nnex atio nandZ onin gtoU C-M X 2022 D isclaimer:T hismapisagrap hicrep resentationo fdataob tainedfro m vario usso urces.

Main Street Description: one parcel, approximately 0.47 acres Request: Rezoning to N-MX, Neighborhood Mixed-Use The applicant is requesting for the above referenced parcel to be rezoned to N-MX from the current zoning of GR-2. This property is included in the Town’s ‘Single-Family Residential’ area as identified within the Summerville: Our Town, Our Future Comprehensive Plan as well as on the accompanying Future Land Use Map, which includes detached single-family uses with a typical density of 2-5 units per acre. This property currently has a small retail frame shop. The property was built in the 1920s as a commercial building prior to the Town’s adoption of modern zoning districts. While the property is immediately adjacent to other single-family homes, it does front S. Main Street and is across from a school and the District Two Administrative offices. The existing use is a legal non-conforming use, and the UDO does not allow a change to any other nonconforming use. The applicant would like to use the building for their law office; however, since physical changes to the building (mostly interior) would be required, the change in use to another nonconforming use is not allowed without a rezoning. The N-MX zoning district is the most restrictive zoning district that would allow for the use of a professional office. If the rezoning is approved, any exterior changes would still require BAR approval. The proposed rezoning is not in line with the Town’s Future Land Use Plan; however, it is the Planning Commission’s decision and then ultimately Council’s decision as to whether the rezoning to Neighborhood Mixed-Use would detract from the character of the surrounding area, or if it would better fit the existing structure and the context of this site. 2  SH AMPT O N ST ST IN A M S Z onin g G R-2 R ezonin gtoN -MX G R-5 D isclaim er:T h ism apisagrap hicrepresentatio no fdatao btain edfro m P L vario thism usso ap;h u o rces.
