RZ-2024-1663 — Single-family residential development in Lancaster County, SC
Meritage Homes requested rezoning of 355 acres from Rural Residential to Medium Density Residential to enable a single-family residential development that could add approximately 223 homes. The Planning Commission denied the application unanimously (0:7 vote), with commissioners expressing concerns about controlled growth, infrastructure capacity (EMS, fire, schools), and environmental impacts on wetlands and the Carolina Heelsplitter.
