Town of Bluffton Planning Commission Meeting, June 24, 2026 at 6:00 PM

The Town of Bluffton Planning Commission held a meeting on June 24, 2026, primarily focused on discussing proposed amendments to the Town of Bluffton Code of Ordinances related to the demolition of non-contributing structures in the Old Town Bluffton Historic District. The amendments aim to streamline the permit process for demolishing non-historic buildings by replacing the lengthy Certificate of Appropriateness process with a simpler site feature permit reviewed administratively by staff. The commission discussed concerns about ensuring that other contributing structures, such as non-residential historic resources, are properly identified to prevent inappropriate demolition. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendments, which will proceed to the Town Council for further consideration. No contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were discussed during the meeting.
