What: Town hall meeting to discuss three rezoning requests in Northeast Richland
When: 5-7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17
Where: Killian Park, 1424 Marthan Road, Blythewood
Map amendment requests for three Northeast Richland properties are the focus of an upcoming in-person town hall meeting organized by County Councilwoman Gretchen Barron.
Rezoning requests up for discussion include:
- Wilson Boulevard – Near I-77, the request asks Richland County to rezone 55.2 acres from commercial/industrial to mixed use to allow for both single-family and multi-family residential use.
- 9200 Wilson Blvd. – Developers are asking to rezone 8.63 acres from rural to neighborhood commercial to accommodate commercial and service use for people who live and work nearby.
- Archie Drive – The request involves rezoning 3.12 acres from residential single-family medium density (RS-MD) to residential, multi-family medium density (RS-MD), which would permit multi-family housing.
In order for Richland County Council to enact a rezoning request, an ordinance amending the official zoning map must pass three readings by majority vote.
