RZ-2025-2538-CF — Shopping Center / Commercial in Lancaster County, SC
This rezoning proposal would convert 71 acres of low-density residential land to Rural Business zoning for a shopping center development between Aldi's and Culver's on Highway 521. The case raises significant concerns about traffic impacts, infrastructure capacity, consistency with the Lancaster County 2040 Comprehensive Plan's growth management principles, and compatibility with nearby residential neighborhoods. Multiple residents and staff have questioned whether adequate traffic engineering studies have been completed to support the proposed development.
