Town of Bluffton Planning Commission Meeting, April 22, 2026 at 6:00 PM

The Town of Bluffton Planning Commission held a meeting on April 22, 2026, primarily focused on land development and ordinance amendments. Key procurement-related discussions included the review and recommendation of the New Riverside Parcel 8A initial master plan, which proposes 104 single-family homes with associated amenities and infrastructure. The commission discussed conditions related to tree preservation and streetscape longevity, with staff recommending additional information from the developer to ensure long-term maintenance. Another agenda item involved the approval of street names for the Livewell Terrace development, a 120-unit apartment complex with future medical office space, which was unanimously approved. The meeting also included a workshop on proposed amendments to the town's wetland protection ordinance, aiming to update buffer requirements, clarify administrative authority, and incorporate a new wetland mapping tool to guide development. Public comments raised concerns about amenities, gated community status, and traffic impacts. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the discussions on development plans and ordinance amendments have implications for future procurement and construction activities in the town.
