STAFF REPORT TO THE FLORENCE COUNTY
STAFF REPORT TO THE FLORENCE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2017 PC#2017-13
SUBJECT:
Rezoning request from General Commercial District (B-3) to Industrial District (B-6).
LOCATION:
1680 West Darlington St., Florence, SC
TAX MAP NUMBER:
90034, Block 02, Parcel 019
COUNCIL DISTRICT(S):
3; County Council
OWNER OF RECORD:
Old South Log Cabins, LLC
APPLICANT:
Jack Green
LAND AREA:
2.06 Acres
WATER /SEWER AVAILABILITY:
City of Florence
ADJACENT WATERWAYS/ BODIES OF WATER:
None
FLOOD ZONE:
No
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends disapproval of the request. This parcel is not contiguous to an existing B-6 Zoning District. SC CODE 5-3-305: Contiguous property defined. For purposes of this chapter, "contiguous" means property which is adjacent to a municipality and shares a continuous border. Contiguity is not established by a road, waterway, right-of-way, easement, railroad track, marshland, or utility line which connects one property to another; however, if the connecting road, waterway, easement, railroad track, marshland, or utility line intervenes between two properties, which but for the intervening connector would be adjacent and share a continuous border, the intervening connector does not destroy contiguity.
INTENTIONS: Mr. Green proposes to shape purchased 4"x8" dimensioned beams. The shaping includes tongue and groove along with lap notch. Mr. Green has created two unique shaping machines for this process. Mr. Green intends to build a couple of model log cabins. A customer then may select a home of which Mr. Green will produce the structural kit that the customer can field assemble. The building division has previously notified Mr. Green of the building's size which is too large for his intended use and hazards affiliated with combustible dust and fibers. Both buildings are currently too large for the current process without combustible dust considerations. Mr. Green has indicated that he has a plan to resolve the matter of combustible dust and the reduction of the building's size if the location's zoning is approved.
