New Rock Hill restaurant, event, storage spaces pitched at Legal Remedy, Cherry Road
Two busy commercial areas of Rock Hill soon could add more food, retail and storage.
The city planning commission meets June 1. That group will hear plans along the Cherry Road and downtown corridors.
One request comes from Legal Remedy Brewing.
The rezoning involves almost four acres between Oakland and Ebenezer avenues. It includes the main Legal Remedy space and three former homes. The move would combine several properties to allow a new restaurant and event space, and a storage building.
Legal Remedy was approved for manufacturing use and a bar back in 2014, before the rush of new breweries led Rock Hill to create a craft brewery designation.
The proposed buildings now would be single-story. The restaurant and event space would be 9,800 square feet. The storage building would be 3,600 square feet. Both would front and have access from Ebenezer.
The downtown site has a My Ride stop right in front of it.
The other project for the planning commission to consider comes on Cherry Road.
The owner of 14 acres on Cherry, at Farlow and Burton streets, has the property up for annexation and rezoning. Plans include new commercial sites on Cherry, and a self-storage facility to the rear. The site is across Cherry from the Publix grocery store, between the Arby’s and the Market on Cherry shopping center with Harbor Freight and other retailers.
The acreage includes 10 land parcels. Some were park of a mobile home park, others for single-family homes. The mobile homes are gone but some dilapidated homes remain.
There are two billboards on the site that will come down, pending approval of the annexation and rezoning. The site is about 60 feet away from the nearest My Ride stop, offering public transportation to and from the site.
A sketch submitted to the city shows a commercial area fronting Cherry, an outparcel on the southern corner and 234 storage units.
The planning commission will make recommendations on both proposals. Rock Hill City Council will make the final call.
