Council Action Requested:
Application by King’s Mountain Self-Storage LLC to rezone 4.84 acres (TM# 0013-00-024.00) located at 4263 Doby’s Bridge Road, Indian Land, from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Institutional (INS) district, to allow development of a daycare facility.
Points to Consider:
The property is adjacent to other parcels zoned Institutional (Indian Land Elementary School)
The proposed INS District is generally consistent with the surrounding area which is comprised of INS and LDR Districts.
Lancaster County Water and Sewer District may require an off-site waterline extension. The applicant intends to serve the site with an onsite septic system.
Staff has received several phone calls from concerned residents about potential traffic issues.
Funding and Liability Factors:
Not applicable
Recommendation:
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval during their September 2022 meeting. A brief discussion occurred related to the viability of a potential septic system and the prior history of the property (prior dumping activity).
Staff also recommended approval.
This item was deferred by Council at the November 14th, 2022 First Ordinance Reading to January 9, 2023. The deferral was made to provide the applicant more time to demonstrate how site access and onsite parking/circulation will be successfully employed relative to the curving alignment of Dobys Bridge Road. The applicant has worked with a traffic and civil engineer to develop an updated concept plan addressing these concerns. The applicant has also coordinated with SCDOT staff for preliminary feedback on their proposed site access. These efforts have shifted the proposed site access further eastward when compared to the original concept plan shared in November.
The updated (non-binding) concept plan is attached.
