County Staff Now Assess Infrastructure Before Rezoning

County Council just approved major zoning reforms to ensure staff assess traffic, infrastructure, and services before recommending higher-density housing projects—especially after Johns Island’s oversight gaps. Now, before Planning Commission or Council votes, staff will deliver detailed impact reports covering transportation, stormwater, and emergency services, aiming for smarter growth decisions. Chairman Joe Boykin stressed this isn’t about slowing development, but equipping leaders with facts to make informed choices. County staff will now lead these reviews, bringing all critical data to the table before any rezoning vote. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
