Pickens County SC Live Stream

The Pickens County SC Council held a meeting on June 29, 2026, primarily focused on discussing updates and revisions to the county's Development Standards Ordinance (DSO), particularly concerning land use regulations near lakes and water bodies. Key procurement-related topics included the extension of the Roads and Bridges ad hoc committee for three months to finalize a paving priority list, with a capital budget of approximately $25,000 allocated for related infrastructure projects. The council also created a new six-month DSO ad hoc committee to address noise ordinance changes, zoning procedures, and minimum lot size adjustments. Motions were passed to limit industrial and commercial development in sensitive lake areas, restrict building heights to 35 feet, and maintain residential-only zoning in certain overlays. The meeting included discussions on enforcement capabilities, public hearing processes for special exceptions, and coordination with state agencies for water-related regulations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting set the stage for future procurement and regulatory actions related to county infrastructure and land use management.
