Two new Fort Mill area restaurants and two subdivisions are up next in York County

York County

Two new restaurants and two new subdivisions are proposed in York County.

The county planning commission meets Feb. 14. Among the items up for votes is a property between Fort Mill and Tega Cay where two new eateries could go. They aren’t named, but some details are available.

Here’s a look at that project and two others that may be on the way in York County.

An almost 4-acre property on S.C. 160 West at Powell Place Road could add two new restaurants. Multiple owners applied for a rezoning of the site between Fort Mill and Tega Cay. The property is beside Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Subway and AAA retail sites. It’s a little south of the shopping center that includes Towne Tavern.

Plans show two full-service restaurants with outdoor seating. A central drive would lead to parking behind them. The restaurants would combine for 12,000 square feet. Two homes and a commercial building are on the property now. None would remain, pending the new restaurant additions.

The rezoning decision gets a recommendation from the planning commission, but York County Council has final say. Unlike the two subdivision approvals also on the Feb. 14 agenda, which fall just to the planning commission.

The Gladden Fields subdivision would be 81 new homes on 139 acres. Applicant Bethel Partners intends to put the homes on the western side of Meadow Road, south of Filbert Highway in the Kings Mountain area. The wooded site would make lots at an acre or more each.

Access would come from Cabe Road, an extension of a road in the Southbend Estates neighborhood to the west. Breggo Drive and Arod Way also would access home lots.

Lowland Meadows is a proposed 46 homes on 66 acres. Terrain Development applied for the project north of Ogden Road, near the Falls and Bridgewater roads intersection in the Bethesda area of Rock Hill. Lots would be an acre or more each.

The Rock Hill city limit line is half a mile from the property. Agricultural and large lot homes surround the site, except for the Falls Landing private airstrip. The Lowland Meadows site has been used for crops historically, and has a man-made pond on it. A creek on the northern property edge feeds it.

Badlands Drive would serve the site. Big Sky Lane and Lolo Grove would offer interior access.
