An event venue, baseball training site and more are among latest York County plans.
Even with virtual meetings and social distancing, York County land use decisions continue.
The county planning commission met Monday and the zoning board of appeals meets Thursday, between them set to decide items from an indoor baseball facility to a furniture warehouse to new homes.
Many planning commission recommendations still require York County Council approval. Zoning board decisions don’t.
Here are the proposals York County property owners offered up in the latest round:
▪ The planning commission voted against a zoning change that would allow an indoor baseball training facility near Fort Mill. The zoning change involved more than an acre at 1850 North Dobys Bridge Road. Submitted plans there involved a 10,000-square-foot building with parking. Fort Mill Premier Baseball would be across from Dobys Bridge Park.
▪ A plan to rezone almost three acres of a more than 20-acre site to create a furniture warehouse with office space didn’t get a favorable planning commission recommendation. The 1033 Milling Road site near Rock Hill would repurpose some existing buildings. The site is at the corner of Ogden and Milling.
▪ A plan for warehouse and office space on more than nine acres got planning commission approval. The rezoning at 3541 Lazy Hawk Road near I-77 south of Rock Hill would allow for construction of a 15,000-square-foot warehouse and more than 1,100-square-foot office building for a fencing company that would relocate from within Rock Hill city limits.
▪ The planning commission approved the preliminary plat for Foster Cove. The almost 28-acre site on Aragon Beach Road in the Rock Hill area will have 14 homes. Aragon Beach is off Mt. Gallant Road, near Little Allison Creek on Lake Wylie.
Zoning board
▪ Area 51 Fireworks near Fort Mill applied with the zoning board for three variances related to store expansion. The Carowinds-area store was built in the 1980s as a restaurant. A more than 3,400-square-foot warehouse addition came in 2007. A 2012 renovation brought it to its use of fireworks retail.
▪ An event venue is proposed at 565 Whitworth Road near Clover. The plan needs zoning board approval to convert a barn into Pecan Ridge. The site would have room for 150 people. Plans now are for about two events per month. The more than 21-acre site is south of Battleground Road and east of U.S. 161 North.
▪ The former Scherer Memorial Presbyterian Church applied with the zoning board to allow a new monument sign for Redeeming Grace Presbyterian Church. The church at 4800 Charlotte Hwy. in Lake Wylie would have a sign similar to others on the S.C. 49.
