The City of Columbia Planning Commission meeting on November 11, 2026, approved the October meeting minutes and consent agenda by motion and vote. The Congaree Riverfront Park Master Plan was deferred to the December 10 meeting. The commission also considered the Sharing the Road Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, a grant-funded plan focused on reducing roadway deaths and serious injuries, with a city goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on non-state roadways by 2036. Discussion covered safety measures for pedestrians and bicyclists, regional adoption through the Central Midlands Council of Governments, and how adopted recommendations could inform SCDOT projects and potential funding. A motion to recommend adopting the plan as an addendum to Columbia Compass was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its result. No contract awards, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity were identified.

The commission then discussed a proposed major amendment to the Harbison planned development district to allow tattooing and body-piercing services in suite 920 at 100 Columbiana Circle. The applicant said the request would enable services in existing private studios, with no construction or changes to parking or traffic. The commission asked about the scope and transferability of the approval; the transcript ends before a motion or decision is recorded.
