See where more new Lake Wylie homes are on the way, plus more in York County

York County

The York County planning commission moved forward with several plans Monday night that would allow new homes and businesses.

The most significant residential change comes in Lake Wylie. There, two decisions would add almost 180 homes.

Here are the proposed land changes and uses approved by the commission:

The planning commission approved a preliminary plat for a 155-home subdivision on almost 96 acres in Lake Wylie. Aberforth at Allison Creek sits at the intersection of Charlotte Highway and Daimler Boulevard. Fiorenza Properties is the developer. Big Allison Creek sits just south of the property.

The property sits on land that was part of the Big Allison Creek development agreement approved more than a decade ago by the county. That agreement requires commercial space that isn’t planned yet, but does appear on the residential plat.

A submitted plan shows a roundabout at Daimler and S.C. 49. Just west, plans show two 9,500-square-foot commercial buildings and four 5,000-square-foot commercial buildings. Homes are behind the commercial space with roads leading to five cul-de-sacs and several planned ponds.

The planning commission approved a preliminary plat for the fifth phase of the Gentry at Hands Mill, within Hands Mill at Lake Wylie. The commission approved plans in 2018 for Gentry, at 129 homes. The final phase is 24 homes on almost 15 acres. The new approval was needed after trees were removed from areas not shown in prior plans, though the overall project still meets its tree save and open space requirements.

The Valita Road homes and property involved in the decision include two marinas off a peninsula on Lake Wylie.

A plan to rezone almost 6 acres in Fort Mill will go to York County Council after the planning commission recommended in favor of the change. Brothers Storage applied for the rezoning to allow a boat and RV storage operation with trucking on the west side of Flint Hill Road, north of Pikeview Road.

In May, the county issued a stop work order for zoning violations and land disturbance without a permit for the property cleared prior to allow tractor trailer storage. A sketch plan submitted with the application shows almost 90 parking spaces.

The planning commission also voted to approve a plat that splits an almost 72-acre property into two parcels, the smaller piece at about 5 acres, along Charlotte Highway between North Shiloh and Adkins roads between Lake Wylie and York. Both properties would remain residential and agricultural.

An almost 6-acre parcel at 1674 Lawrence Road, south of Clover, would be rezoned as part of a split from one residential parcel to two. The planning commission recommended in favor of the decision which would add one home.
